I love animate dead - but everyone always looks so surprised when I play it.

I got rid of my Entombs when they made the announcement of the Graveborn Premium Deck. Going to pick them back up again soon

Just picked up an altered Liliana on Ebay:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stXSYgl9BG0 Has anybody ever heard of using xacto on altered cards? Seems a bit odd, apparently it's to keep the thickness of the card uniform. Shouldn't cause any damage to the structural integrity of the card, right? Edit: "I will trade for these in my favor" is similar to a dealer buylist, where they offer lower prices for your cards for the convenience of having exactly what you need. Except the people saying stuff like that are certainly not dealers, probably don't have everything you need, and are nowhere near as reliable.

Assuming the exacto is just being "dragged" across the surface to shave off the colored layer, then it should be just like erasing a card except more precise and quite a bit faster. The only time it would really be an issue is if the blade cut into the card or pierced deeper then just the colored layer. I like the way the hair looked fine even before being painted because of this technique. My worry would be if an area was left unfinished. Hopefully everything that was white because of the exacto got some white paint on it.

I do not see anything wrong with that, IF the poster has a bunch of big stuff (i.e. duals and bigger stuff).

Hoo. I just got back last night and saw that. BUT, my Entombs on eBay still sold in less than 12 hours of being listed and they weren't listed at a lowball price either (well, maybe compared to what they were selling for recently). quote:
What does this mean:
I think it just means he doesn't need those cards as much, or foresees them going down in value, or some other issue. Also, I'm guessing that a lot of times, people just don't really NEED that many cards. Maybe they're focusing on building 1-2 decks so those cards are at the top of their want list, but they list additional wants (for a possible third deck that they don't care as much about, or whatever) to make trading with them easier. Maybe it's annoying because it messes up the trade matcher, but I don't see too much a problem with that. If someone has something I want, I'm more likely to trade with them if they listed stuff that I have than if they had like 5 cards on their wantlist because that's all they really needed, and I happen not to have those 5 cards, or I have some combination of those that doesn't match up in value to what I want, etc.

First off let me say that I agree with you - if you're trading away duals and stuff of equal value, then I could understand putting that there. But this person doesn't even have fetches for trade, let alone duals.

Well, I've stopped caring too much if cards I sell end up higher in the future (stuff like Copperline Gorges that I sold for $1 a while back), but I still get mildly annoyed at myself if I make a bad purchase that crashes (Vesuvas). So I'm happy I got rid of the Entombs since they might go down a little bit, and if they stay where they are now I'm okay with that too! On an unrelated note, I love buying collections. I just do enough research on them to make sure I'd break even at worst, but they're so fun to look through (partly because I stopped playing at Coldsnap so I don't know a lot of cards in sets since then) and are often much more profitable than just breaking even. Yum.

Collections are fun to buy regardless. I just got about 75,000 mixed commons/uncommons from a guy for very cheap and rather than bulk I've been pleasantly surprised to find beta commons and playsets of cards I can resell. And hundreds and hundreds of slivers, artifact lands and hymn to tourachs.

Draft question:Geist-Honored Saint, Instigator Gang, Bloodgift Demon. Pack 1 Pick 1. What do you take. Also, those were the three best packs I have ever drafted. P2 Snapcaster Mage
p3 Garruk Relentless

Knowing what Pack 2 and 3 are, it's irrelevant, but I think you take the Instigator Gang in pack 1, that thing's nuts.

Assuming you're drafting to win, the demon is the best choice. Blue seems fairly weak in innistrad. Geist can be easily blocked and hard to save. Bloodgift is a huge flying beater that feeds you cards. Should be a pretty easy pick. If you're rare drafting, it isn't hard to figure out that $13 > $1.5edit: lol, I somehow read geist honored monk as geist of saint traft. Hrm... refering to cards by just "geist" too often gets to yah apparently. I'd still stick w/ the bloodgift. I cracked a pack with a foil geist of saint traft and a snapcaster yesterday in a draft. Part that made it kinda akard was I passed the snapcaster to someone that dropped out of a draft on pack 3 because he opened a foil primeval and a gideon in a single pack and didn't want to pass a gideon. Was totally a douche move and I don't think he learned anything from being passed the snapcaster.

Honestly, I really enjoy blue in innistrad. I really like the tempo cards like Silent Departure and Grasp of Phantoms, so if I can pick a couple of those up I am there. Plus Claustrophobia is as good of a removal spell as anything in that set. I have actually had a lot of success with Curse of the Bloody Tomb and Dream Twist in this format. I havent lost whenever I have drafted it (only 3 times). Those 2 cards in mass are amazing, and you can let them pass packs 1-3 because they almost always wheel

I saw a close up of the Liliana on another page. The scrape method produces a uneven surface that looks very unfinished at the end. I don't see why you wouldn't just mask of what you want to keep and acetone the rest. I've done that before. It reduces the thickness ever so slightly and the paint fills in the gap.

This is very true, i built a very tempo deck with these 3 cards (3 phobias, 3 departures and 1 grasp) and was easily able to win most games.
