That's funny! I have dreams like that too!

Last few I had were I came across just a rediculous ammount of Urza's Saga square-cut cards....

Of course I've had the dreams where I am buying some random collection at a yard-sale or whatnot and start pulling out P9/Beta stuff like crazy =)

Actually though, the last one was kind of weird though, because it involved me coming across like hundreds of packs of 4th edition (of all things!?) but the thing was, they were already opened and they had just stuffed the cards right pack into the package. Pretty weird.

I don't believe that one bit. If that were true, those same whine-babies would use the same "gentlemen's agreement" to not play Primeval Titan/Consecrated Sphinx and be done with it.

Then I hand them a diaper.

It doesn't always go over well.

1. I put in so much time getting the foils in the first place (about +95% foil) and most of them don't translate into trades worth my while.

2. Subsequently, it would also take time and money to translate my cube into non-foils.

3. New cube-worthy standard cards are unjustifiably expensive (Thrun, Liliana, etc.) and take a year or two before they migrate into cube. Some cube staples aren't foil at all.

um...what to do? At this point, I think it's actually cheaper to stay foil unless my foils can get power, which Dark Confidant or not, don't seem likely to get there.

Hmmm...it may be time to throw mine up there with a slight undercutting BIN price.

I'd trade my power for foils, but it would take a lot of foils to equal up I'd think. If you go that route, I don't think it would be too hard tho if you've got foils of actual value.

Well its been a great Christmas this past week... I found an online retailer who had one for $24 and just pulled a BIN off ebay for $16.99

Wow I am away from the site for a month or 2 and this is the garbage people are posting.

Guess what, maybe they like playing cards that no one else is playing. Just maybe they actually like to use their mind and come up with something original. Not everyone falls in line and does what every other drone on the earth does. I know an original idea is probably hard to grasp for someone that seems as closed minded as your posts make you seem, but guess what, there are actually people out there who have fun doing things the way they like to do them. Wow hard to believe.

The whole point of edh is to not play the same garbage every single game or play the exact same deck as everyone else. Standard is for that. When I play edh, I will not have fun if I cast Time Stretch 643 times in 1 game, sorry brah.

Now I am not saying that edh should not be cutthroat, because I like it cutthroat, but guess what, I will play the f'n cards I want to play because that is the way I like to play. I truly hope that offends you, because it really seams that you are easily offended by something as stupid as what other people play in their decks.

Also the reason
