seems like an odd tactic if you actually follow through with it... I did pick up a hallwoed fountain in a separate deal from the guy who creased that lilly ><

I redacted the last word from your last post because I think it is a violation of the forum posting rules. As you probably know, we are not allowed to use the words "gay" or "retarded" in a derogatory manner. The word you used is a shorter version of a longer phrase which utilizes the word "retard" in a derogatory manner.

Also, for the record, if you're going to get on here in some altered state of mind and be an idiot, then wake up the next morning (or whenever) and not remember it, you deserve all the flaming you get.

so you drunk post? then you get all the flaming coming to you.. as for your presumed hate/sass on you.. you're the one that lashed out... so you can go do some obscene acts to yourself. if you want to be a dbag, you WILL get trolled.. we spoke our mind, you hated on us, expect to be torched. get that second monitor yet?

and breaking the derogatory use of --tard? you just struck a nerve with at least one mod.. enjoy your time here.. probs will be short.

In other news I wish it was as easy to move certain EDH cards on MOTL as it would be on ebay. I've only gotten one offer so far.

Also really really really tired of very lopsided offers...like their ~20 for my ~50+....

Free ups and all...but I wana actually trade..make me very sad face...

is my way of splitting Foil vs Non Foil on H/W really that confusing??? or is just a case of people going off trade matcher? I'm so confused I have people missing foil vs non, and asking me what set cards are from when I have them clearly labeled on the list.

---

It's both.

Trade matcher will note that cards are foil ONLY if you use the FOIL tag. According to your list, you have a FOIL "Planeswalker", but you don't have any foil planeswalker cards. The matcher will note that you have a non-foil Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and a non-foil Tezzeret the Seeker.

Edit to add: I did a search just now for "Foil Tezzeret" and got lots of hits, but none of them were yours. I did a search for "Tezzeret" and your Tezzeret the Seeker showed up as a non-foil Tezzeret the Seeker.

The other problem is that your use is inconsistent. You have foil planeswalkers and foil lands (both titles using the FOIL tag), but then you individually list foil island, foil plains, foil swamp, foil forest, foil mountain, foil snow-covered forest. The promos are foil, but you haven't noted them as foils.

Or, if you want to avoid confusion you can try this:

Planeswalkers

{list of cards}

Lands

{list of cards}

etc.

THEN, the second half of your list is all the foil cards.

Instead of using the foil tag for the section header, start the foil tag for the first card in the section and end it at the last card in the section.

Thus:

Which to me just looks ugly...lol

Still doesn't help the whole not reading set names, etc.
Unless those don't show either.

I understand the desire to make it look neat and formatted the way you like and have it show up in a search AND not take a long time to type up, but you can't do all of these things at once. Pick one (or more of these things) and learn to live without it. If you let your list not show up in a search, you're going to have people incorrectly assume what cards are foil/not foil. If you show the numbers as foil, it's going to bother you every time you check your list. If you use 100 foil tags for all your foil cards, it's going to take a long time to type it up - I have done this many times and I CTRL-C + CTRL-V the term "[FOIL]", which cuts down on the time to type it up.

Also, there are hundreds of h/w lists out there and if you do a quick look at a list, people are going to scan for gold words for foil and assume that anything that isn't gold isn't foil.

There's already enough confusion in h/w lists because some people sort lists by color, some by set, and some by rarity.

you don't really need the planar dice. Its just a D6 with 1 face having a planeswalker symbol, another having a chaos symbol, and the other 4 are blank. You can get out a sharpie and a D6 or just say 1 = planeswalk and 6 = chaos. I'd recommend the sharpie route so you don't have to remember...

as far as a list, I thought that would be easy. I jsut went to gatherer and searched for plane... then scheme... and got no results. Kinda lame. There are a bunch of random promo ones that might be difficult to find listed. Maybe just check scg or cfb and see what they have listed (even if out of stock).

New archenemy due out soon. This time they are adding cards that aren't printed anywhere else to force us to buy it. There are multicolor legends and I bet there will be some legacy playables. Guess its their answer to stuff people won't otherwise buy.
