I just ordered a $150 card and my shipping options were $24 USPS or $13 UPS!

Yeah, the question is, if it doesn't arrive, will they stick to this policy and refuse to refund? The cheapest tracking they offer is a rediculous $50.

Scg's shipping options are really bad. I would look into getting the card some other way if I were you.

There's no need to ban anything. 6 different decks in the top 8. I think that you will see them unban cards rather than ban more.

I was 19 and was more concerned with chasing girls and being "cool" than I was with playing a "nerdy" card game but now I realize I really enjoyed the competitive nature of the game and how it mixes skill with luck.

Banning Preordain seems more likely than any other card.

It's certainly awful if I'm out of the country. I can pay the same price on ebay and get gaunarateed refund if it doesn't come, which is what I'm doing.

LOL. Hell's no. Your credit card company will refund you and then take the money back from starcity if delivery can't be proven. TOS like this only work on dolts.

Seem like at least Ancestral Visions can come off. Maybe even Jace, and Misstep.

Random Magic Online question...I can't trade with anyone. What I mean is when I right click on a name there is no option to trade with that user. I've emailed tech support but has anyone else had this happen?

EDIT: Well, crud. It turns out the tickets I bought from someone were in turn bought with a stolen card. My account is now frozen pending the investigation (though I think part of it might include them trying to see if I was in on it). Anyone else have this happen to them? What happens to the tickets? I've already opened a claim on PayPal and escalated it but who knows what'll happen there.

If you're 6'2, you have to be really fat to achieve the required circumference to height ratio (refereed to as the DeVito Zone by the elite) needed to perform at top levels.

Yes, because luck is actually a form of ray. When you achieve critical mass you will attract these rays gravitationally, thus insuring that you always rip the lightning helix you need at the most opportune moment.

Wizards wants 1 drops to matter in Modern, so you can forget about Misstep getting unbanned.

I did this June after like 10 years. I kick myself for selling my moat, etc for way less than it is now. There are some things that take some getting used to, but I am glad I did.

Ya I gave my entire collection to a friend who then took it up to a PTQ in Seattle and my binder was stolen. Kind of a bummer so I'll be starting from scratch pretty much, all I have are some remnants of an old extended rock I played with BoP, Pernicious Deed, Ravenous Baloth etc. The biggest lost was my playset of FoW...but oh well.

Cloudposts are $2 now? That's insane. Mirrodin was a heavily opened set. Disciple wasn't $2 ever, even when it was tearing up Standard. Nor plating.

wtf?
