Our local stores hand them out even if we don't get 8, but that's fairly rare. If the store is saying they don't get enough, that's total BS. They have to sign up for FNM in a certain window, if they do they get shipped a whole kit of stuff that covers the whole month. Under the old system their store is passable, kind of. With the way things are run now, you're getting screwed. I've reported a store previously through the email option and I don't think anything happened. I'd recommend looking on wizards site to find a phone number. I know there is one somewhere.

Montague Member	posted April 04, 2011 05:17 PM I offered to sell a member who was wanting stoneforge mystics and scalding tarns 3 of each. Tarns @ 9, Mystics @ 16- A very reasonable price. I then get a counter offer for $15.50 each for the mystics. Really? You are going to bargain me down $.50 each? I told him out of principle I will not accept that offer. I mean, come on. It's $1.50. Why are people so cheap these days?
joz Banned	posted April 04, 2011 05:43 PM $1.50 is the cost of postage for a small padded envelope? __________________ Bargain is not to powerful for EDH, EDH is to weak for Bargain!

Spoiler has 22 cards now. http://mtgsalvation.com/new-phyrexia-spoiler.html Karn isn't great sadly, he's a 7 casting Vindicate, seems similar to Nicol Bolas but not as color restricting Phyrexian Unlife seems strong in EDH since you can draw your deck. A Negator for BBBB seems bad. Praetor's Grip seems like it could be awesome especially with the equipment 1 ofs in decks currently Scrapmetal Fiend could be terrible or very powerful The Preator and Chancellor sets look like they could be EDH fun. a (4) castting living weapon Nightmare seems very strong. Hex Parasite seems very strong vs planeswalkers. Puresteel Paladin seems interesting __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 10000+ posts 3rd in posts in Ontario 15th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted) [Edited 1 times, lastly by WeedIan on April 04, 2011]
Montague Member	posted April 04, 2011 05:46 PM Well, he wanted me to sell him the cards for 73.50 shipped. He ended up paying 77 shipped because once I declined the offer he agreed to pay full price.

This is what my LGS was told to do w/ promos if he doesn't run the FNM. He obviously doesn't do that... edit: Also, has anyone purchased knights vs dragons? I won one at FNM. The forests in the knights deck are euro lands. I found that to be quite interesting. I haven't determined where the plains/mountains are from because I didn't recognize the arts right away.

AlmostGrown Member	posted April 04, 2011 08:05 PM Why not just tell them to give the promos away at another store event? In any case, I highly doubt any TO would destroy promos, especially if it's a store. I mean, who's to say the store didn't buy back this month's promos to re-sell?

skizzikmonger Member	posted April 04, 2011 08:56 PM I think every card on the NPH spoiler with ~ in front of the name is fake. And a colorless Planeswalker? No way Wizards makes that mistake.

No way Wizards makes that mistake. all those are the ones form the japanese cards that they don't have firm translations on. I still think they are fake. if they are not Wizards got to be ****ed, 17+ rares/mythic leeked 2 weeks early?

Unless I'm reading the translation wrong, it's whoever controls the damaging source who sacs the permanents. That makes him unbelieveably good, almost too good to be real?

No I read it the same way...whoever deals the damage to him is the one who sacrifices permanents. He is an absolute house!
