I was just skimming eBay to kill some time (always fun), and I noticed every high priced Black Lotus had sold on the 19th... including the 100K one

Either somebody is having fun with some BIN's or they hit the lottery (lol).

Well lets see if they can make it right.

Lol what a tool. Is this the same guy who had the laughable rules list a few weeks ago (who wanted to sell cards for tix or something like that)?

I was NOT asking anyone to go out of there way.
alot of people baught all 5 decks at the same time. or maybe just maybe someone out there had to go to there local shop or walmart/target for somethng else and could have just pick me up a copy while they where out.

in any event I took down the post.

Great job on missing the point. The issue is not that you're asking for street value, it's that your asking for street value while being incredibly lazy and greedy about the whole affair. Like I posted on your thread before you deleted it, you're not doing anything to thank the guy helping you out, you're not offering to pay for the gas he has to spend getting there, or any of the shipping if it goes over 3$, and you're not even paying him a little extra for his trouble. It's really pretty entitled of you, and it makes you look like a tool.

to the guy whos local shop has 10 on display at $29.99
I dont think I sounded to crazy,. but ya sales tax is probly redonkulous, probly at least $1.50
and how was $3 shipping low? such a small package could easily be sent for under $3

---

Missing the point again. You're being a dick by not offering some sort of compensation to the guy who's being nice enough to help you out.

Yeah, I'm not gonna name names - if anyone wants to find out, read what he posted first... Strangely I haven't seen any posts from him like that, here on MOTL.

It's pretty good as-is, especially in edh. Basically reads, "rape target dredge player's graveyard".

I think my first deck was better than his, but he feels that I just beat him with one card - Wurmcoil Engine, while his deck as a whole was better than mine.

The second deck I had was probably worse than his, but I got a good draw game two, with turn one Llanowar Elf turning into turn two Great Sable Stag, followed up by turn three Garruk, followed up by Aftershock destroying his Grafted Wargear which was attached to a shadow creature.

This was my ridiculous (bad?) cube draft deck for match two:

Llanowar Elf
Troll Ascetic
Profane Command
Oblivion Ring
Ajani Goldmane
Plow Under
Duplicant
Lightning Bolt
Great Sable Stag
Thrun, the Last Troll
Aftershock
Decree of Justice
Chameleon Colossus
Yosei, the Morning Star
Nezumi Graverobber
Harmonize
Ajani Vengeant
Koth of the Hammer
Pithing Needle
Garruk Wildspeaker
Gifts Ungiven

but yes I make an effort not to post much around here. I figure ive been here along time and built up a pretty good ref collection. so the less people I talk to here or **** off or butt heads with the better.
here I wanna be known as a honest trustworthy trader.
and if I keep my mouth shut, no one here can really form opinions about me.

over there to me its just a silly game forum, where i can post stupid stuff like that to see if people agree or what there respose or reaction is. I like that site but I probly wouldnt care if I was banned from it.

edit - but I guess if I lose the respect of certain members. refs dont really mean anything after that anyway

---

Whatever helps you sleep at night, bro.

Wait for the next set of EDH precon's like everyone else.

I'm still totally playing it in my 5-color black zombies deck. I just thought something like that could have gone further. That's a lot of mana to spend on one graveyard when there doesn't necessarily have to be that many creatures in it (he's dredging and reanimating, other people's graveyard hate, whatever).
It feels frail to me, a little uneventful. I'm just winchin' cause i love zombies and lifelink and the whole point of the deck is to reanimate other's people's dead.

Heh, fair enough.

Edit:
I won't claim to know what helpmehelpyou was talking about (i was a little puzzled at the post) but no one around here plays for fun really. Or, they play for fun of course. But the decks are serious and played with a somewhat cutt throat attitude. Most of what i've ever seen is people basically trying to make the best deck possible building around the 'handicap' that you only play singletons. I think these people would combo off turn 1 every time given half a chance.
Kudos to me taking the combo pieces in Sharuum. Pffft.

Well then allow me to introduce myself (unfortunately I am not a man of wealth or taste :rimshot: )! I am an avowed timmy. In fact, at the commander launch party I had the opportunity to engage in the following delightful conversation with a pair of brain-dead spikes*:

BDSpike1: Man, I kind of wish Mirror Mastery wasn't sold out, I would have totally gotten that one, just for the generals.
Me: I know, right? I'm thankful that the guy over there let me trade my Heavenly Inferno for his copy, I can't wait to build decks around Riku and Animar.
BDSpike2: Oh, Animar! Animar is insane.
Me: Yeah, I know haha. I've got the deck pieces lined up at home - Semblance Anvil, Cloud Key, Cloudstone Curio, Erratic Portal, Equilibrium - all those bounce cards and then just ramp up into dropping Eldrazi for free. Can't wait!
BDSpike1: Aw dude, do you have Aluren? -
BDSPike2: - Cause that's the combo, ya know! [ed: holy ****, really?]
Me: ...uh, nah. Don't have it, don't plan on buying it. I don't want to just combo out on people's faces or go infinite, that's not fun. I mean I've got Grinning Ignus and stuff as backup if I have to, but I don't want to just run a ridiculous deck like that and force everyone else to gang up on me, there's no fun in that.
BDSPike1: (ignoring the second half of what I just said) You can pick up Aluren pretty easily you know, it's only like a 4 dollar card.
Me: Yes, I understand that, but that's not the point. The point is I don't want to because it's just one-sided and it's the same thing every time. That's not fun to me. Besides, it'd be really overpowered for my playgroup.
BDSpike1 & BDSpike2: *share a glance*
BDSpike1: It's not that overpowered, man.
Me: Maybe not in comparison to the kind of decks you guys run in your playgroup, but for mine it is, and there's no fun in that.
BDSpike2: It's fun.
Me: *gives up*

*Just to clarify, I'm not saying all spikes are brain-dead, just these two.
