More like:

Wants:
Xx Revised duals
Xx Mox Ruby
Xx Tabernacle

Haves:
1x Tezzeret <- Decked
1x Putrid Imp
1x Werebear
1x Basking Rootwalla EX-
1x Iron Myr

Only way that could be better is if they had their wants as.

Low Value (Will trad for but don't value highly)
xX Duals

You can make a fair offer on someone's decked cards, it's up to them to accept or not. I certainly don't automatically trade/offer more just because someone randomly wants more. Putting "decked" or "very hard to get" is just a waste of time. But there are many things worse.

A MOTL'er had a points system with his Wasteland being more than my 3 Snapcaster Mage. I posted just to know exactly why?

Here's what I got:

Yes, clearly Delver will be banned, right after Island and Force of Will.

Oh come on we know the next ban will be Delver and Wild Nactal, cause they hammper great creatures like Raging Goblin from seeing play.

Though I love how he tries to rationalize his values on bans that may or may not happen...

Someone point me in the right direction, I have a bunch of duals to trade away at 50% of their value (hope it is low enough for them) to satisfy the needs of such exalted traders.

I typically don't make H/W lists, but for you I'll make an exception

ugh.

Once again. Yes, Replenish is Legacy legal and it doesn't matter if you counter [insert any enchantment]. If I have Argo/Presence in play, I still draw.

And such were 9 out 10 of my games.

LOL people don't understand the fact that cast of the spell causes the ability to trigger.

Oh really?

I've played my enchantress deck with if it gets countered, it doesn't get played so I don't draw.

Also thinking of quitting MTG for good. I'm just not interested in keeping up with new sets, trading online (still got one trade I'm waiting for almost 3 weeks later). I do like this forum though lol.

Always awesome when a poster has that on their h/w list.

It's normally accompanied with the following rules:
1. I will not trade down EVER.
2. If you don't know what trading down is, pay attention. B/c that's what I expect everyone else to do for me.
3. I will gladly trade up ALWAYS.

The new one looks to be people giving a percentage of how much they will trade up. By their math my $20 card should get me $22 worth of their stuff. But, even when you want two of their $11 cards, they refuse. God forbid if you try to squeeze 4-5 cards worth $23 total out of them.

Back on Enchantress. Had Sigil and two Presence in play. They countered Choke I drew two and made and angel and they flipped out. So in response to the counter, I Temporal Isolation their Goyf. Drew two more and another angel. They quit. *sigh

I'm looking to trade up into stuff and my percentage is 20-25% in people's favour, and if they want 50 cards for 1 card I want, I'm happy to do it. Not everybody trading up is doing it to increase the value of their collection, some of us are just trying to consolodate our giant pile of cards, and get a few cards we can use for EDH :P

And as far as I know, all cards that used to say "successfully cast" had that removed.

Has anyone else been able to access the current competitive PWP standings in the past day or so? I keep getting an error, but I'm not sure if it's my browser of the site that's broken.

I check on Apathyhouse/SCG/eBay to basically make sure I'm not letting myself get seriously ripped off or seriously ripping someone off, but beyond that, I'd rather have 3 5 dollar cards I actually play with than one 25 dollar card I don't

Really? I've now tried on 3 different computers, 3 different browsers, and not one of them works. I can get everything else, but not the competitive points for the current season to see where I am for a bye at GP Seattle.

I've posted on lists before and posted that I have 70-80% of their wants, willing to give a premium for trading into a bigger card.

More often than not, I'm turned down. Even though I have most of their list and want to give a premium, some MOTL'ers are just too concerned with "not trading down" or potentially "losing in a trade" for their own gosh darn good.

It's really too bad...for them. Most of the time they have only that ONE good card sitting on their lists anyways and they end up spending a ton in postage.

That's why I almost never offer trades where I'm trying ot trade up no matter what premium I offer. I expect to be shot down. Better to just post that I'm trying to trade up, and what premium I'm willing to give. There are enough set collectors and cube builders around that I'll get a bite or two every now and then, which is all I really want anyway.
