I think it would be funny to suspend in some stuff then the turn before they hit the battlefield to play like an Apocalypse or something.
Cripes, you could have paid $70 shipped online for those same 2 fatpacks, or gotten an entire box for $20 less.

I thought walmarts sold at MSRP? Isn't $34.00 MSRP for fatpacks? or is it $39.99? Either way, not sure how it comes to $110

I'm sure you could order one shipped to MB from a store in the 'peg or another major city in Canuckistan. Phoenix in Calgary does boxes for $110 in store and if you inquired, they might be willing to ship one out to you.

It's almost 50 dollars even for a fatpack then after taxes it goes up another 6 or 7 bucks. But ya, if i ever bought cards at a non spur of the moment basis then ordering boxes of boosters from a place in Saskatoon would be the way to go.

You mean the two, three and four row boxes? Most big card stores carry them. I know you are in Europe and I'm not sure how big sports cards are there, but check with sports card stores if you can.

Europe and sports cards that's like Soccer and the US...It is know to exist but we just don't get it  (we're big in the panini sticker business here in central europe but they all go in an album).

Is $4.00 the real price for Dismember? Or is google/tcgplayer/ebay playing tricks on me?__________________

Basketball is big in a few counties (Germany, France, Italy, Spain). You might try looking if you are ever in one of their big cities. BTW Panini makes Basketball, Football and Hockey cards.

It seems to be the real price. It's colorless removal that everything from RDW to UW Caw Blade can easily splash and run 3 or 4 copies between main and side. It's everywhere as an answer to Deceiver Exarch, Phyrexian Crusader, Kor Firewalker, and Spellskite. Unlike Doom Blade and Go For The Throat, it allows black to kill both Vampire Nighthawk and Spellskite. My friend is putting together a U/B control deck and I only had one extra, so while we were both at our LGS yesterday, he asked me how much it would cost to get more Dismembers. At $6 each, he decided to just run a mix of Doom Blade and GFTT. __________________

Decklist from a local tourney:"53 land Zombie Infestation" 29 x Island

3 x Zombie Infestation Sideboard
5 x Forest
5 x Mountain
5 x Plains I like it. The sideboard needs work though.
I decided to test this deck a little, mostly because it took 5 seconds to put together. 1. There's no reason not to play as many manlands as you can, assuming you want a better chance at winning and not just the novelty of a $1 deck. There's little downside to playing all of the U and B manlands either: - 4 Creeping Tar Pit
- 4 Inkmoth Nexus
- 4 Dread Statuary
- 4 Celestial Colonnade
- 4 Lavaclaw Reaches
- 4 Tectonic Edge
- Mixture of basics 2. I would have thought this was intuitive, but the way to play is to mulligan to Treasure Hunt every time. Mulling to Infestation does nothing. You make up the card disadvantage when you Treasure Hunt anyway, and you know what you'll be Hunting into: either your win con or another Hunt. Barring any disruption, you do nothing until turn 4, when you can Hunt and Infestation on the same turn without having to discard down to 7 in between. You could do it on turns 2 and 3, but the most zombies you would make is 3. 3. The deck is obviously really bad against discard and counters. You can play around Mana Leak and Spell Pierce by waiting, but there's really nothing you can do about discard. Leyline makes the combo much worse, as does any non-land card. You could have a transformative sideboard, but I'm not sure what that would look like. 4. It didn't take more than a few games to realize how bad the deck actually was. When I finally "went off" I made about 5-6 zombies and then died. I then realized I could play something like Conqueror's Pledge and it would be almost as good by itself, while having the benefit of a real deck for support. The deck is still very cool, but I think if you took it to FNM you'd have to feel pretty good about going 1-3 with it.

Basic supply and demand: supply is higher and demand is lower. It's the third set of the series, so you only need one pack of it to draft with, but MTGO pays out with more NPH than anything else, so there's a glut of NPH packs - if you win only one pack, it's going to be NPH. I have more NPH packs than MBS and more of either of those than SOM packs. Add to that the fact that drafters are drafting with Scars block less (With M12, NPH is no longer the newest set), then we have the classic raised supply and lowered demand => decrease in market value. __________________

Completly forgot about this pile of cards sitting on my floor >_< lol.Me and my friends had a m12 draft last week; and this was my deck: 5x Stormfront Pegasus
1x Archon of Justice (I WILL TAKE YOUR TITAN TO THE EXILE ZONE!)
2x Griffin Senteniles
1x Elite Vanguard
4x Armored Warhorse
1x Gideon's Law keeper
2x spirit mantle
1x arbalest elite
3x guardian's pledge (wins games with flying hordes)
1x crown of empires
1x sundail of the infinite
1x kite shield
1x throne of empires I got 3rd, i think. But only because I could'nt beat a inferno titan and a garruk, or the half-his-deck-was-removal black player. __________________

Why would you ever play Sundial of the Infinite? That is the worst card in the set for limited. I'd snap pick any card in the set over it. Your friends must be terrible if they 1) passed 5 Pegasus and 2) lost to a deck with sundial in it.
