I do that too, I have a 800 count box full of Commons/Uncommons that I like or I will eventually use.
I have like 5 that where in the box and now they're gone...I blame Aliens.

Apparently this is NOT happening. I'm not allowed to join the event today.

Seems pretty rare, strikezone is paying 11 dollars for them.

I notice that other people are trading them but it won't let me mark mine for trade. Also I have heard people talking about free bots that give free commons to newer players, I have only found one called Freecardbot does anybody know of anymore? I am trying to get together some cards to build better pauper decks but don't have a lot of cash to spend.

Probably linked to EDH. Goblins with unique effects can be tutored up in Wort/Kiki decks. I know I wouldn't mind one for my Kiki deck.

The best way to get good commons is when they release stuff like Jace v Chandra.

Dazes were 10 tix before Jace vs Chandra came out and you got i think 2 Dazes for $20 plus everything else.

I made alot of my pauper deck on Jace vs Chandra purchases

It will be 3 packs Scars and 3 packs Besieged.

I know its sealed, and therefore pretty random, but does anyone have any suggestions or tips?

It has been awhile

Had an awesome time!
Took 1st, 12 packs. Well, I took 1st by percentage points.
I went 4-1, 8-3 and split the prize. So I got 12 packs.
In the packs were my 4th GSZ, my 5th Inkmoth Nexus (which I traded) 4th Phryexian Crusader. 1 pack had FOIL Massacre Wurm and Hero of Oxid Ridge amongt others.

I woulnd up playing infect, but only because my pool was insane for it. Here's the decklist:

1x Phyrexian Crusader
1x Flesheater-Imp (Huge)
1x Blackcleave Goblin
1x Spread the Sickness
1x Death Grasp

1x Viridian Corrupter
1x Rot Wolf
1x Blightwidow
1x Plaugemaw Beast
1x Pistus Strike (was amazing)

1x Psychosis Crawler
1x Phyrexian Revoker
1x Ichorclaw Myr
1x Corpse Cur
1x Contagion Clasp
1x Rust Tick
1x Tumble Magnet
1x Piston Sledge
1x Copper Myr
1x Wall of Tanglecord
2x Sylvok Replica (Huge as well)
1x Mimic Vat (This won games!)
1x Argentum Armor

9x Forest
8x Swamp

I had 0 1 drops, so when given the chance, I always went 1st, and then always seemed to hit a creature turn 2.

All in all was a pretty fun time, and I made out like a bandit in packs and trades

I think there is only 1 daze in that set. It would definately be worth it on MODO if you got 2.

Edit: About Pauper, It is getting pretty frustrating. I am trying desperately to get UR Cloudpost working, but it just doesnt. I'm forced to play Mono Black because I think it is the only thing that has a decent matchup against everything.

I am wanting to try this reanimator decklist.

I still just play Black Blue Ninja Discard.

I could probably build that.

Dude: Man, imagine how crazy that set would be if primeval titan was also printed in it?
Me: Yeah, that would have completely broken power level of creatures, it would have been on top of the casual want list
Dude: Casual like how Jace 2.0 is casual now? (with sarcasm)
Me: I mean the primeval titan is good, but it's power couldn't compete with a deck from the Saga block
Dude: What's a better six drop than primeval titan?
Me: Bargain

The rest of the conversation kept going for another 5 minutes or so of him trying to explain to me that under very few circumstances would he want to have a bargain over a primeval titan. What's more annoying is that people were completely taken by his arguments of "you can search for a cradle and an academy! And it's GG next turn!"

Um Crop Rotation = GG? I'd have rather seen Trinket/Treasure Mage in Saga block IMHO...

Also.
