Now, on another topic, you gotta tell me why with 4000 different cards in my wants, I still get asked to "check lists" for cards I'd like. Really?


After checking your Wants list...holy jesus! I'll be sending you a PM later tonight - I have a [i]lot[i] of stuff you want :O

Because 4000 wants is a debilitating number to go through and the trade matcher ain't perfect.

Well, yeah it might be. But trade matcher gives a no match, so I guess he just wanted my FoWs. Not to add his haves were T2 cheap stuff

4000 wants is probably 3950 too many for the average person.

At $0.02, how many cards would it take to get just one Force of Will?

Its just not worth it in my opinion. All the work that goes into collecting and organizing a set, I'd definitely want more than a fow.

Some think it's worth it, some not. If your stuff is somewhat sorted, pulling out 4000 commons will get you $60 atop of their $20 actual value. (Out of some friend's boxes, I pulled out my 2000 first cards or so in about one and a half hour in boxes sorted by editions, so I think it's fair. Probably some people value their time more).

Tell me about it. Ever since posting up wants for 3 different decks at once (EDH decks that i don't have many of the cards to) i can clearly see the drop off in interest in my thread.

It's MOTL. Post your legacy staples and wait for the offers...and those "cml for all your expensive staples" posts.

Yea, but i have more fetches now than before, and i still get less interest. I know it's my harrowing list. It is a TASK to go through it.

I will probably just remove 90% of it sometime soon and try to make myself work on 1 deck at a time irl.

From what I can see from your list, you don't have many haves. At this time you only have FoWs listed. I assume that all these 'CML' posts are due to you not being able to trade them something rather than them not having something to trade to you.

On a seperate note, does anyone have a random idea for Standard? Looking for a non-blue deck that would do well at FNM. Preferably rouge or something low-tier.

I played cheap shot infect a couple weeks ago with some results. But i guess that is apparently catching on. It's all cheapest green/artifact infect creatures and a buttload of pump. Mutagenic growth is awesome.
And just because i was bored, i also threw in Mental Misstep, Apostle's Blessing, Gut shot, and Act of Agression.

I've been wanting to play B/W Allies really badly but i don't play standard a great deal and have only a bajillion other decks more important to me. Agadeem Occultist and cheap kill spells, with the hordes of hada Freeblade and Kazandu Blademaster.

Play green/black elves.
Edit: With Glissa and Mindslaver

If you want something "rouge", then there's a rdw deck that won some tournament a while ago.

I'd play a Death's Shadow / Firefiend deck with phyrexian mana stuff.
I don't have a list, but if you know both cards, you guessed the idea.

If infect is pretty low in your meta, try building Soul Sisters with the relic warder-metamorph combo.

If there's a lot of weenie decks (whether Kred, aggro infect, or what have you), kuldotha Red is pretty good if you focus the maindeck removal suite towards removing blockers - stuff like flame slash, arc trail, panic spellbomb. I've been tinkering with a build with 4 gitaxian probes to slim down the deck and a couple artillerizes as game-enders.

I have no idea what you mean by Firefiend.

Ahh, just finished a tune-up for Game Day tomorrow. I just have to decide now whether I want to sideboard Hex Parasites or skip them and go Mirran-allied. I'm running BR Vamps, and it does great at the local meta (I don't think I've not gotten the FNM promo in at least 2 months) but I fear it won't be as good at the store we'll play at tomorrow (our damn TO forgot to schedule us in time... oh wait, that's me ) so we're going to Portland.

Test-run was quite successful, with me edging out Nderwife in the finals for a 1-2 sweep. I was quite impressed with her, though, as the only other time she's even seen Kuldotha Red was when I beat her infect deck with it in the finals of the last Game Day, and I only gave her a short tutorial just before we started tonight, and she swept all 3 rounds before the finals, including a Red Deck Wins deck that is usually the one that I have the most problems with and was lucky to avoid tonight.

Not bad! I split in the finals tonight at FNM playing B/R Vamps also. I played the SCG Indy list with a few changes.

There was a total of one CawBlade at our FNM since they're usually small, so I took out the Vandals and moved some of the SB to main. I also saw a Valakut deck about 30 minutes before start, so I replaced the empty SB slots with Sadistic Sacrament. I also couldn't get ahold of Lavaclaw Reaches, so those were replaced with basics.

Round one I beat a friend of mine playing CawBlade, round two I lost to Mono-white control with Day, Gideon, Magnets, Titans, Luminarch, etc(the Reaches would have helped here.) Round three I beat Valakut, nailing 3 Valkut with Sacrament game two and 3 Valakut 2 Avenger of Zendikar 1 Inferno Titan game three. Top four I beat mono-black midrange, split with aforementioned mono-white in the finals.

I have a SOM-MBS-NPH sealed tournament tomorrow. Any advice? Any archtypes seem to work out? Anything I really shouldn't cut? Lemme know! I'm horrid at sealed, but it's 10 dollars for 6 packs. LOL

Evasion, battle-cry, and removal. Titan Forge is'nt worth picking (much to my dismay).

Necrogen Scudder was one of the best creatures I ever drafted (got it 4 times in 3 drafts,) and by itself, won me several matches. So go black, and don't look back.

Otherwise, infect might be pretty strong, red seems to have a lot of nice stuff, and Norn's Annex is very strong, though, battle pest has proven to be one of the strongest 1 drops I've ever seen in limited, i just never got one in my decks... T_T

There's a little bit of a difference between sealed and draft, though.

Organize all your cards by color, figure out what your bombs are and your best cards in each color, then try to figure out which ones complement each other well. Hopefully you pick up a few removal spells in one color or another.
