My EDH playgroup is all but dead, and these cards aren't particularly useful anymore. 

Jor Kadeen and Rhys the Redeemed

How much could I sell these decks for?  Also, if anyone is interested in taking either (or both) of these off my hands, let me know!

Bumping!

Hello people.  My EDH playgroup has pretty much fallen apart, so I don't really have need for these decks anymore.

Jor Kadeen - The point of this deck is to plop a lot of indestructible artifacts down, board wipe, and then use Jor's metalcraft ability to swing in for massive damage.  With all of the equipment in this deck, it is very possible to win with just commander damage.  It's a little slower than the Rhys deck, but watch out once it gets going.

Rhys the Redeemed - This deck's focus is on creating massive amounts of elves (or other tokens) via Rhys' abilities.  This deck can produce mountains of mana to fuel Rhys' abilities, with several methods of untapping him so he can go again to create a massive army quickly.

I'm taking offers on both decks.  All of the cards of significant value should be NM, with some of the cheaper cards having some play on them.  If you buy either (or both) decks, they will come sleeved, with a proper ultra-pro deck box (not the plastic kind).  Either send me a trade request or ask a question here, and I will try my best to reply promptly.

I will echo the above opinions of cut the low CMC dragon/angels/demons.  You want everything that comes into play to be somewhat game-changing.  Dragon Whelp changes nothing when it hits the field. 

Also, I notice a lack of mana-rocks.  You've got enough land, but you still need some rocks to help with color fixing and such.  You'll probably want all three Signets for your colors (Boros, Orzhov, and Rakdos) to fix your mana, also Sol Ring is never a bad call.

Bump!  Someone here has to have some extra Squirrels laying about!

I want to build a Squirrel deck, because Squirrels are awesome.  Help me, won't you?

So I've currently got a decent Elf deck, and a pretty good Goblin deck, but I'm looking to try out some stranger tribal decks.

Currently, I'm also building a Squirrel deck, because... why not?  So here is my question to y'all - what's a good tribe to build around that is somewhat cheap but full of flavor.  I don't care if the deck is all that powerful, this would be mainly for fun. 

So other than Elves, Goblins, Zombies, Dragons, or Merfolk - what are the best/most fun/budget friendly tribal build I can get going?

I think he meant that he got two deals, that were each three packs, for $12.98.  Which means a total of six packs, so roughly $2.16 a pack.

I could be off-base, though.

The first step would be to link us to the deck in question.  I believe this is the deck in question.  It makes it easier for people to offer advice.  smile

That being said, what direction are you trying to take this deck in?  I see a lot of token creation, but nothing like Intangible Virtue to buff them.  I also see a small werewolf theme, which doesn't really fit the rest of the deck.  I would also strongly recommend taking out the Orzhov Basilica's.  You'd honestly just as soon have an Orzhov Guildgate that hurts you less if it gets Strip Mined.  Honestly though, the Overgrown Tombs are probably enough Black sources to flashback Lingering Souls.

If you do end up going towards G/W Tokens, Rhys the Redeemed is always a good choice. smile

Bump - Also added some Gatecrash stuff from the prerelease.  I'll added the rares, I'll probably add the uncommons/commons tomorrow.

It also costs twice as much, and isn't blue, which is what the majority of your deck is.  Also, I'm not saying running it instead of Boros Charm, if anything, I'd replace the thought scours which are almost pointless in this deck.

I'd also look into Mizzium Skin.   With guttersnipe out, it's at worst a shock that you cast for blue at instant speed, at best it does that, and saves one of your creatures from being removed.  It's also a good spell just to cast if you need to keep werewolves from transforming.

The response to this has been amazing, thank you all so much!  There is still plenty of good stuff left, hit me up!

It's going to be a Boros party.  Ain't no party like a Boros party.

amex serve is a solid alternative if you can't/won't use paypal

Thanks for that.  I think I'm going to try opening another paypal account just to make things easier on all my prospective buyers, though.

EDIT:  Paypal account now active!

Also, I don't have paypal, because paypal is the devil.

What is your preferred method of payment?

Probably cash or money order through the mail.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Also, I had no idea this would blow up like this.  I have a ton of requests right now, please be patient as I sort through them - I don't want to accidently  sell one card to two different people. smile

Quote me a price for Kiki-Jiki, Bonfire, and a Birthing Pod.

I'll do $50 for the lot.

Well, I've been unemployed for some time now, with no real prospects in the near horizon.  As such, I am painfully going to have to sell of some of my magic cards so I can make rent.  I've taken out the stuff that isn't for sale, so if it's there, it's ready to go.

I'm not getting out of magic, I'm just slimming my collection.  smile

I use SCG/TCGplayer for the foil/promo prices.  I'm obviously going to sell lower than either of those sites for everything.  Also, the more you buy, the more you save.  While I don't like paypal (long story) I have reopened my account to make things easier and more secure for potential buyers. smile

Also, I have a few complete decks that I'm willing to part with:  Krenko, Mob Boss EDH - Talrand, Sky Summoner EDH, Modern Lifegain (not quite complete, missing a couple of Felidar Sovereigns) - Modern Knight Tribal - Modern Dragons.  I can supply decklists upon request.

Let me know if you have any questions, or just start up a trade discussion.  You'll find I check this site often, and reply to inquiries usually the same day.  Thanks for looking, and have a great day!

UPDATE:
Due to the large volume of requests I am receiving, I am putting all of my cards in a 'first come, first served' state.  Meaning that whoever confirms the deal first, gets the card.  I am very sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause, but I can't afford to have any sales fall through because someone else is simply interested in a card.  Please don't think less of me for this, but I really, really need the cash.

Also, I have reopened my Paypal account to make things easier and safer for all potential customers. 

Also, also, shipping is on me for all transactions.  Anything less than $20 will be mailed in a plain envelope with the card in a penny sleeve and toploader.  Anything above that gets a bubble mailer and DC.  Thanks for all the interest!

Hello people!

I really, really, really need a Kozilek, and really want a foil Rhys the Redeemed.  I can trade the Rhys from my inventory towards the foil version if need be. 

I am willing to negotiate from inventory for the Kozilek.

Also, while I'm here - I'm also looking for full art Zendikar lands, any flavor.

Propose a trade, and hopefully we can do business. smile

This deck only has 29 cards in it.  You may want to check your decklist.

I like what you've got right now, with two of each.  You need mana to pilot that deck successfully, and two of each should be sufficient to get there.

Without spending ludicrous amounts of money, Counterspell is still the boss.  With mana leak right behind.  You've already got the right countermagic for what you're playing, fortunately.

EDIT: If you ever wanted to get stupid with it, get Force of Will and Mana Drain.

To echo a little bit here, Gem of Becoming should almost be an auto-include if you're trying to drop Bolas.

Also, why aren't you running Cemetery Reaper?  It's a cheap card, and buffs all of your zombies, and is even capable of making some himself.  Bloodgift Demon might be a good idea to keep your hand in good shape later in the game.  Also, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed gives you some extra utility from your creatures, while giving you some protection against humans.

If you ask me which build is better for what you're talking about, I'd say the deathtouchy one.  Counter magic is great in Grixis, and really helps you stall until you can drop Bolas on their heads.
