Hey, folks. I'm looking to trade for Tenth Edition, black-bordered Wall of Swords. I used to love this card when I played MTG back in college, and I'm sad to not see it in the more recent blocks. I've become a bit of a stickler for the modern, black-bordered cards since I got back into the game this year and would prefer them vs. the old-school, white-bordered varieties.

I'd like at least four, but will accept up to eight. Please feel free to offer me a trade!

My tradelist is here: http://deckbox.org/sets/187188

Thank you!

I just checked on my end, and I only see the option for Reddit trades. It looks like you can click on the tab on the top right of the Trading Opportunities console to do SOMETHING, but nothing happens. Note that I never saw this panel until I joined the Reddit group last week.

Wow, four trade proposals on this today! Thanks so much for those who made offers. I'm going to consider the trade closed for now.

I pulled a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad from a Dark Ascension booster I picked up yesterday (8/16/2012). While he's a great card, I'm loathe to rip apart other decks I've created to accommodate his particular effects and the deck themes that would result. Therefore, I'm looking to trade him for other red, white, or black planeswalkers or legendary creatures.

Here's some of what I'm looking for:

Planeswalkers:
Ajani Vengeant
Chandra, the Firebrand
Chandra Nalaar
Elspeth Tirel
Elspeth, Knight-Errant (yes, I'm aware this is wishful thinking)
Gideon Jura
Liliana of the Dark Realms
Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded

Legendary creatures:
Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran
Basandra, Battle Seraph
Kaalia of the Vast
Tariel, Reckoner of Souls
Urabrask the Hidden

Feel free to send me a trade offer, and I'll be happy to consider it.

Thank you!

NullParameter and imsully2: Thanks so much for your feedback and your replies.

I added a set of Avacyn's Pilgrim and Lllanowar Elves to the revised deck (http://deckbox.org/sets/213841). I'd prefer to keep the creatures artifact-based, but Copper, Silver, and Gold Myrs are 1cc higher, and I don't think that would help my mana ramp as much as these cards. I also put back the two Tempered Steels and added three Builder's Blessings to help with my splicer defense. For good measure, I add a third Parallel Lives to increase the possibility of token madness. big_smile

How does it look now? Obviously, I need to get a few cards that aren't in my inventory, but that shouldn't be difficult.

Hey folks! I've been running a golem tribal deck based around the combination of New Phyrexia splicers and Parallel Lives for a few months now, but I still haven't gotten the deck up to snuff. It's terrible vs. control decks (everything gets countered) and is too much of a target in multiplayer. I'd love to be able to speed up the deck while taking advantage of multiple golem buffs to overwhelm my opponents, but I haven't found the right combination yet. I'd like to stick with the Scars block versus the "old school" Mirrodin cards, where possible, to keep it in Standard/Extended.

Here's my current deck: http://deckbox.org/sets/201617

Here's an alternative I'm considering that removes some of the more obvious "targets" and adds more "chumps" to the mix: http://deckbox.org/sets/213841

I'd love some feedback from the community; this has been bugging me for some time. Thanks!

A lot of what I have on my wishlist IS commons (and uncommons), so I would say, yes, please post commons on your tradelist.
