On a Magic note...I'm dedicating my deck brainstorming time to finding a way to finally use the Nicol Bolas Planeswalker card I've had sitting in a binder for like 2 years. I think I've got a nice little EDH brew going with him.

I had the opposite problem with Zendikar. Apparently playing more lands snakebit me severely.

Yesterday I drafted a "few" times. I decided to try my luck with an 8-4, and lost... forget why, but I did. I was running low on tix/packs so I figured I'd go play some commander just cause. Well that didn't quite give me my fix that I needed, so I went and played an 8-4. I ended up drafting some U/G dinos/fliers/random deck and won the 8-4. So quit while ahead, right? I then proceed to go hop into a 4-3-2-2 since it was about to fire, and won with some random b/r removal deck. Well seems dumb to quit now, so I hop into another 4-3-2-2 and my picks in the first pack go as follows: tezz, go for the throat, go for the throat.... It seemed to be a fairly solid u/b card advantage based engine w/ some fliers to bring it home. Dude I played against played nothing but artifact creatures and removal. He killed every dude I played while I sat there w/ go for the throat in my hand w/o a legal target. Happened 2 games in a row! Whatever, I got a tezz.... time to stop.... wrong! lol. I hop into another 4-3-2-2 and pack 3 I rip a koth. I draft some super agressive r/w deck, but lost game 2 and 3 to some terrible u/g deck when I got color screwed game 2 and double mulled game 3. Either way, I ended up quite a bit ahead... time to go draft? lol...

A quick piece of advice, but generally if I have 2 people asking for the same card (that's obscure) I always look up the value of them on MOTL weekly and ebay. I believe most of the people on this site are honest, but that still leaves a lot of people who are interested in turning their packs into power.

He wanted my
1x Aether Vial $12
1x Bloodbraid Elf (FNM promo) $3
5x splinter twin $1

for his
1x Sword of Feast and Famine $25

these were his prices... he couldnt find anything else he wanted. i wasnt too sure about his prices and plus when someone pulls out more then 4 of a card from my binder it makes me skeptical so i told him i'd think bout it and see him next week.

because of what my collection needs i dont trade much in person (no one usually has what i'm looking for) unless its with someone i've know for awhile. i cant really keep up with price changes so i prefer to trade online so i can get a good feel of the values plus its much easier to sell my extra stuff and buy what i want.

Yep. I was talking to evilempire22 about this I think Thursday morning asking how to handle people obviously trying to get over on a trade.

My first indication was someone wanting both of my Splinter Twins. My brain went "why does someone want two of a janky EDH card?". I also look at TCG player for decks running the card. If any, any, tourney is listed that runs that card, it means it made top 8 and people will want to try it out.

Funny thing is, the Pestermite/Splinter Twin combo was mentioned back when Rise came out. I don't follow extended or standard rotation but, wont that combo be viable longer due to rotation than Exarch?
