You have a lot of decks listed on your profile. Can you post a link to the deck you are talking about? smile

So I picked up a box of Avacyn boosters and the Angelic Might deck today. I never made a all white deck or a health gain deck so I changed a few cards here and there and this is what I came up with. Haven't played it yet but will tomorrow. I might take this to my first small tournament this Saturday but that depends on how well it plays tomorrow. Any advice on what I should do with this deck to make it better would be great. Thanks big_smile

If you're ever worried about the cost of something, just check around online.  It's nice to support your local shops, but not if they're marking things up that much.

This is true. A box of boosters online was around $100 but mostly plus shipping. I found a good shop selling them for $100 and it was only a 5min longer drive to get there then the other shop I was going to so I went there today. I think I'll be going to this new place from now on smile

Turns out they were charging a lot more for the box of boosters then other places around here. $130 for a box there and another place I called today is selling them for $100.

I'm happy I found out about them over charging before giving them more of my money smile

I'm going to call the LGS I go to tomorrow and make sure those are the prices they have. I know the fat packs were $40 each and when I asked my brother he said a box of booster packs was $140. If that is what they are selling them for then I'll be going somewhere else from now on.

I live in Portland, OR but I go to Nexus Games in Gresham, OR for my cards. If they are ripping me off then I'll have to look for another place to get cards at. Only reason I started getting cards from there is because they have the biggest groups of people on Friday and Saturday that play MTG and it is where my brothers go to play. hmm

If you do the math it's really no contest.  Roughly $100 for a box, that's 36 packs with 36 rares, 72-108 uncommons (you're likely to get at least value for the box in rares).  The fat-packs, at roughly $30-35 are only 9 packs (no guarantees you don't end up with about $15 in rares for a $30 purchase).


Where do you buy a box of MTG cards for $100? The shop I go to its $40 for a fat pack and I think $144 for a box. If there is a website I can get them cheaper at then I'll stop buying at the shop and get them online.

I knew that, I was wondering more on the cost of each. Would it be better to by a few fat packs and just a box of 36?

I want to get a Avacyn Restored fat pack next week when I get paid but was wondering if getting a box of booster packs is better then getting a few fat packs? So far I've gotten two Dark Ascension and one Innistrad fat pack along with two event decks and I think six intro decks. I'm at the point now where I think I'm ready to start playing in some weekly tournaments with my friends so I want to get all the new cards and get as many good cars as I can. If I'm wasting my time with the fat packs I'd like to know before I go and get another one in a few days lol.


Thanks for the help smile

Tawnos, looking at the deck you linked me to, I would only need a few cards to make the same deck. Mostly a few more Birds of Paradise and Splinterfright cards and I'll be good to go. Other then that I'd just have to work on some good cards to fill out my sideboard. big_smile

Sorry, I thought I had it set up to email me when there was a reply on my post so I didn't see this until just now.

I don't feel like I have to win every game but at the same time I don't want to go in with a weak deck and lose over and over. I know there are going to be better players then me but I don't want to end up bottom 3 all the time like my brothers do lol.

What are some good cards I should try and get for my deathfed deck to help me out? Or are there any other event decks out right now that you think are better then the deathfed that I can look into getting?

Thanks for the help!

I'm not new to MTG but I started playing again about 3 weeks ago after not playing for a little over 9 years. My friends that got me back into MTG have asked me to go to this weekends tournaments (standard) but I didn't go because I want to make sure I have decks that work for that kinda thing before going.

I have three main decks I play with that I would take with me if I do play at a tournament. Two of them are event decks and one is a full green deck I made myself after buying a Innistrad and Dark Ascension fat pack the other day. I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice with the 3 following decks. Also, one of the event decks is from New Phyrexia and from what a friend told me I may or may not be able to use it in tournaments but he couldn't tell me for sure so if someone else could let me know that would help a lot.

Green deck I made - http://deckbox.org/sets/160735
Innistrad - Deathfed - http://deckbox.org/sets/161151 (only thing changed with this is some land cards)
New Phyrexia - Rot From Within - http://deckbox.org/sets/153298

Thanks for the help big_smile
