I am currently looking to trade any of the 2014 Core Set, Return of Ravnica block and Theros block for 1 Bile Blight and 2 Drown in Sorrow.

http://deckbox.org/sets/70778?f=c3122.1 … 15.113.111

If you want to toss something in as a surprise to make it worth both of our wilds please feel free. I am looking for the top grossing rares and mythic rares to sweeten the deals.

Will only trade out 2 or 3 cards per trade so that I can keep the weight of parcels under 1 ounce. Thank you for your understanding and I appreciate the help!

I ordered 6 boxes of Born of Gods and just pulled a Brimaz, King of Oreskos from the first box, 7th pack! I am stoked! I then pulled a Drown in Sorrow from the same pack that I needed for a revised Monoblack Devotion deck.

Freaking beautiful morning!

Thank you everyone for your replies and support. I bought 6 boxes just because I figure I would take a gamble. Maybe I overpaid but I would rather invest now and have the cards I need now instead of later. Also it will give me a chance to have more ammunition for trades.

In general mono black is a very good deck.  The caveat is it's only very good in the hands of a good player.  An inexperienced or bad player will notice the deck under performs markedly so.

Owen Turtenwald with channel fireball has been piloting the decks in the big tournaments I suggest you read his articles.

Some general play advice for the deck though.  It's a 1-1 grind.  You need to appropriately answer all your opponents threats with the 1-1 removal you have at your disposal. If you answer a threat with the wrong card, it could definitely come back to haunt you later. It's a constant check on what's on the board/hand to see if you can maintain the currently state and only using your removal when it's appropriate.  At some point during the game you will be able to turn a corner and take over the match by using underworld connections to bury them in card advantage or desecration demon/pack rat for board advantage. 

Also, don't be afraid to go all in on pack rat, it's a strong play in the format and mutavault synergies with it very well.  Against some decks though before you can take over with pack rat you'll get extremely low on life/resources so it can be unnerving at first, but you'll have to get a feel for when it's right to go all in.

Cool thanks! Wish me luck!

It took me weeks of cracking boxes and cracking packs and a few trades to finally finish my Monoblack Devotion deck.

http://deckbox.org/sets/573063

I will be attending my first FNM in a couple years and I wanted to walk in with a good deck and win at least one or two matches and not completely get p00ned.

What do you all think? Comments? Suggestions? I have ordered 6 boxes of Gods so this will help me out too.

I am not really in it to win it but if I can win a few games and make some new local friends then I am totally down with that.

Thanks!

This would be a huge improvement.

As far as card grading, please pick one grading scale and stick with it.  Don't mix conditions from different grading scales.  It should be one of:

M > NM > EX > VG > G > P

<or>

M > NM > EX > VF > F > P

<or>

M > NM > SP > LP > HP

For now, to work around the problem of mixed grading scale and not knowing what to use, I try to enter all of my cards with no grading.  This means that if condition is important that it will be brought up in the trade.

People also need to learn how to grade their own cards. For less than a $10 investment they can buy a collection of 3 jewler's loupe at different magnification to check corners, sides and surface and an OmniGrid to measure centering.

I send out trades in order of Best to Worst so if I have 2 of the same card for sale the one with the highest grading goes out first.

My two cents.

That still doesn't answer my question at all. I see the "allow 2 weeks for delivery." What's the waiting period for no communication at all when my cards have been delivered and mine have not even been sent out? 2 weeks as well?

Marvin is a great trader. I did a trade with him earlier this month and have been ultra pleased. I can vouch that he is a great trader.

About the non communication, I would blame part of this on the weather in the northern states. I have a trade that is pending because the seller's post office has been closed for the past few days but he sent me a message this morning telling me what was going on and why he hasn't sent.

Communication is key people. No news is bad news!

I wish that sorting inventory by price would take the condition (foil most notably) into account when sorting your collection. It seems weird seeing a $20 card below a $10 when things are sorted, especially since DeckBox shows the current value for the condition your card is in.

I have noticed that the sort groups by non-foils being priority. I would love to see the price sort show the results in order of price and not grouped by the non-foil dominate.

Thanks!
