Ulamog has been acquired!  Still after the foil Rhys and foil Jor Kadeen, and the regular Kozilek.

Offer sent.

I'm trying to pimp my EDH decks, and I want all of my various commanders to be foil.  In both cases, I can trade the non-foil version towards it. 

Also, I'm looking for regular old Kozilek and Ulamog, still.  I will consider trades from inventory for those two.

I'd suggest pissing off your token, wolf and human cards and focus on more elf cards...

^This!

Get rid of: Elder of Laurels, Somberwald Sage, Wild Beastmaster, Howling Wolf, Kessig Cagebreakers, Doubling Chant, Parallel Lives, and Feed the Pack.

Also, 13 lands is pretty damn ballsy, even for an elf deck.  Get that up to at least 20. 

Add: 7 lands, the fourth Elvish Archdruid, 4x Green Sun's Zenith, Ezuri's Archers, Beastmaster Ascension, Oran-Rief the Vastwood, Essence Warden, Viridian Emissary, Imperious Perfect, Joraga Warcaller, and one Craterhoof Behemoth as a great game ender.

I'll tell you life gain is rarely a good approach.  Unless you have win conditions that involve having a lot of life like serra ascendant or felidar sovereign, you should cut the life gain cards to make way for more creatures.  Also, Sublime Archangel is crucial for this deck.  Multiple instances of Exalted do stack, so it basically doubles the effect of your exalted creatures - in addition to giving it to your other creatures.   Up the Aven Squires and and Duty-Bound dead to four-ofs, and that'll also help keep your mana curve nice and low so you can put stuff out every turn.

Sent a trade offer with some Rancors.

You've got a lot of lands in here that really aren't doing you much good.  You'll almost never get anything out of Valakut with  only 10 mountains in your deck, so it is basically a mountain that comes into play tapped, which is no good.  Reliquary Tower seems pointless, as you'll probably never ever have more than seven cards in hand playing goblins.  And pretty much all the lands you have that come into play tapped should be dropped in favor of more basic lands.

That being said, the meat of the deck looks pretty good.  I will say you definitely want Lightning Greaves in here.  Rakdos Keyrune also seems good in here as a little ramp or even just a good creature that is immune to sorcery speed removal.  I'd probably drop all of the auras in here, as they will usually get you 2-for-1'd unless you can protect them, which you don't really have means to do that in this deck.  Steam Blast seems like it would wipe your boardstate as much as, if not more than, your opponents.  I'd probably replace that with Mizzium Mortars.

All in all, I'd say it looks pretty decent.  Change up a few things, and this deck will probably be badass.

I would recommend going to four Mizzium Mortars.  Either you can burn off one of his bigger guys for two mana, or most likely wipe their board late game.  Other than that, if you put more focus on the aggro red part of this deck, you'll most likely outpace your opponents life gain.  At that point, you don't need to block his flyers.  Also, burn spells are your friends against this kind of deck.  Get some Searing Spears if you're playing standard, or Lightning Bolt if it is more casual.

I have all of those.  Sending a trade offer.

Bump!  I'm still in search of Ulamog, It that Betrays, and Kozilek!

I'll make that trade if you don't mind promo wurmcoils.

I need an Ulamog, and a Kozilek.  Surely, somebody on this site wants to trade them to me.  Depending on what you're trading for, I may be willing to put some extra value into it to get the deal done.  Let me know, thanks!

Right on!  I am definitely still interested in these.

could you please stop bumping this? imho this is not a sales forum, and we've all seen your offer a few times now.

thanks

Does this in any way inconvenience you?  I didn't think so.  Just skip it if you don't want to read it.

I'd probably stock up on shock lands.  They see play in all the major formats, and will even hold their value after standard rotation.

Are you interested in a Korean Hallowed Fountain?

Alright, here is what I've got for Korean RtR: (note: this stuff isn't in my inventory, as you can't propery denote korean cards - so just let me know that you're after one of these, and I'll add it in.)
Worldspire Wurm
Necropolis Regent
Hallowed Fountain
Mizzium Mortars
Abrubt Decay
Transguild Promenade
Centaur Token
Bird Token

I've also got a Japanese Riders of Gavony, and a Moonsilver Spear

If English stuff is more your speed, here are some notables from my tradelist:
Bonfire of the Damned
Thragtusk
Entomb (graveborn)
Angel of Serenity
Chain Lightning (fire and lightning)
Flusterstorm
Mirri's Guile
Sigarda
Overgrown Tomb (4x)
Blood Crypt

Here is the stuff I'm looking for (in order of importance):
Karn Liberated
Serra Ascendant (3x)
Myr Matrix
Academy Rector
Ulamog
Kozilek
And the rest of the stuff on my wishlist.
Angelic Destiny (4x)
Felidar Sovereign (4x)
Imperious Perfect

Also, in addition to this, I'm still looking for the Decipher SWCCG cards, old spindown life counters, and all sorts of random foil and promo stuff that isn't on my wishlist.  Make me an offer, I might just take you up on it!

It still shows my graveborn entomb when they're looking for the original version of it, though.  Odd.

While on the subject of trading opportunities, I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to allow sorting by "Can Give"as opposed to by "Can Get"?  I have a long wish list, but few people want what I have stocked up, so it would be easier for me to find realistic trade opportunities from the other direction.

This would be awesome!

Awesome.  Thanks for the heads up!

Are you looking for high end stuff or just trash to play with? I have thousands of SWCCG:Decipher cards, from BB limited all the way up to Tatooine. Way too many to list, alot still in playable decks.  Not sure I want to move this stuff, but alot depends on what your looking for.

I'm interested right now in getting a small collection together.  I'm willing to trade for the good stuff, or even some bulk commons/uncommons - all depending on what you're willing to part with.  Let me know what you're willing to get rid of, and I'll be happy to take a look!

I have a few hundred I think, like 5 or 6  mtg deckboxes full. I will take a look at what they are.

Please see if there is anything in my inventory that you'd like.  Also, I don't mind paying the shipping on these, so please keep that in mind.  I really would like to play this game again.

I've got something like that but I think they're the Star Wars equivalent of a intro deck, probably not worth the cost of shipping?

It might actually be something I'm interested in.  Do the backs of the cards have anything that says "intro deck" or anything like that?  If not, send me the names of some of the cards and maybe we can work something out.

okay yeah, I think what I have is cards from that picture you posted (the Introductory 2player game) and some black bordered cards. Is there a price list/are there specific cards you're looking for?

edit: 244 cards, didn't count to split between black/white bordered
edit2: thought there were some $$ cards, but they're the beginner versions? ('Luke' and 'Vader' instead of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, no abilities)

I know the beginner versions are not worth much money, but I'd be happy to trade for them.  Look at my inventory and see if there is anything you'd be willing to trade for them.  If not, let me know, and I can maybe offer you some stuff that's not listed here.  I have a real itch to play this game again, and I'll be happy to work with you on this.
