Whenever you make a sale.
Whenever prices change.
Whenever you get new stock.

You aren't bound by a list. I get offers every so often for my "$10 Imperial Recruiters" by people doing google searches or something and finding lists from 2005. Though at this point they might be using the Wayback Machine or something.

There are plenty of sellers who are more than happy to send cards to a non-US address for the cost of regular airmail. All you have to do is tell them they are not responsible if something happens or work out another arrangement.

Yes, it sucks that tracking something from the US to another country is cost prohibitive. I wish I could track stuff to Canada for just a few cents more than the cost of domestic DC. I'm sure you wish the same thing for Canada Post. Until that happens though, it's perfectly reasonable for sellers to protect themselves from people who may claim cards just never showed up.

I feel that would be an awesome cube...although you wouldn't have a lot of lands (in fact none of the duals). Should be interesting tho. Most of the FNM cards are playables.

Thanks.. now just to get the promo SoP / wasteland and the black horse guy

/wrists

Also, When sorting cards, Do you count box set foils as foil rares (like the foil entomb from graveborn) or do you count it as promo?

Myself, I just list it as a rare from a box set..

---

I would, You could use the deck master/beatdown foils.

Problem is.. the promos like StP, Wasteland, Fetchs, Both swords, all are $50+.

Edit: Oh god, Sol ring is near 100? !

Edit #2: I think I can do this with each card being less than $20.. SCG shows 1212 results.. although a ton of those are probably basic land.. so.. 800 to whittle down to 400ish? Probably. Though no fetchlands, swords, StP, sol ring...

Edit #3: Success (I think?) Filtered with mana cost 1 to infinite with price range (SCG's) to 0.00 to 19.99, 1019 results... Now to find out how many textless cards there are so I can take that out..

Edit #4: Succes #2. According to http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Magic_Player_Rewards, There is 48 textless magic cards. So that reduces the # from 1019 to 971.

Now I have to find out how many full-art cards there are that are not foil (the game day that everyone gets)

Edit #5. Going through my cards, I hope they reprint Quiet Speculation and Nature's Resurgence. (Edit 7, Avatar of Woe )

the rav block bounce lands? I don't recall ever seeing promos of those. Perhaps you're thinking of something else?

Um. I thought of doing this, and it's sort of a one time trick, but seems hilarious.

Eternity Vessel + Leyline of Anticipation/Vedalken Orrey + Donate + Vampire Hexmage. Respond to their landfall trigger with Hexmage, sac it to remove the counters. Set their life total to zero .

Having the Hexmage on the battlefield prevents them from playing lands too, so maybe some mana denial is in order, or stuff that bounces lands.

Yes definitely. I actually intended to add the trick to my Sol'Kanar deck, so I won't be using white, but those are all cool, especially Sunder.

I was thinking earlier, Bazaar Trader with Mindslaver gives you their best permament. Although that might end up being win more.

Sadly, Eternity Vessel says may, so they just wouldn't do it (unless they're hilariously awesome and wouldn't mind losing the game). Also, I may be wrong, but you wouldn't have an opportunity to Donate it in time, unless it's off a fetchland or something. Dropping a land doesn't use the stack, so you'd never get priority, and the landfall trigger would have already occured.

---

Didn't realize it was a may trigger. I intended to just give it to an opponent and either have Hexmage out so they can't play lands, or try to trick them. Not necessarily in response to a land that they're playing, but basically the next one they do play once I've resolved Donate.
