I've only seen people lay them down. I guess if you have one of those built in stand/covers it might not be so bad. Either way, pen and paper is superior. if you use an app that lets you just write on the screen, that would be okay, but then likely wouldn't be able to use the stand. Either way, out in our area Nder, space doesn't seem to be a problem at large events any longer.

Are there any demand for Hobby Japan tokens?

I have a few sets that I am planning to unload, and am not sure if it is worthwhile to sell them on MOTL, since shipping would be a pain considered I am located in Canada.

Seems to be alot of dissapointment over these deck lists. What do people expect for $20?

Also new art on Chartooth Cougar. What a waste!

I'm excited for the new art for plated geopede. What are the odds it'll be a $3+ card? It is seeing play in Modern.

plated geopede will never be a $3 card considering it's a common. and a creature. and a poor creature at that.

I think he meant the Alternate Art version, which if it is seeing play, I could easily see at 2-3$, given every other playable Alernate Art card is 3+ easy.

Also, being common is irrelevant...that stopped being a excuse for price a long time ago.

Disappointment? The two walkers give you at least $15. If one of them finds a home in a standard deck soon, or in Modern at all (Koth maybe), you'll have good value here. See Elspeth v Tezzeret for details?

Not if you use a mini notepad, like you really should.

The alt art Path to Exile will be $5 easy. And yes, I meant the alternate art Plated Geopede specifically.

Plated geopede, if it is seeing play (which it's not), won't reach the amount you're talking.

Except venser and koth are way worse than elspeth and the tezzeret is still less than $5?

How many are you buying if the value is so good? I can get as many as I want for $15 shipped, and I'm not buying one.

$15 shipped seems very good on those, but it depends 100% on how much Venser and Koth will be worth. Their regular versions are currently about $7.00-7.50 each so if these versions are the same then you will absolutely make a profit off $15 shipped each. Just sell the 2 Planeswalkers and then sell off Path to Exile in playsets for the extra profit. Then you still have the entire rest of the deck to see if any of those will sell for more than bulk price (Oblivion Ring).

But I don't think many people can get them at 15 shipped, and you personally I have seen so many posts by you that indicate that you probably have other (and more profitable) ways to make money/earn value on your stuff.

Ugh, mixed feelings. :/

Finally looked at the huge binder of Ice Age that I got to verify that it was a playset of every card. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Only 2-3 each of the painlands (6 Brushlands though). Apparently only 2-3 of a few other cards in the set too. But then, there were 7 Poxes, 5 Necropotence, and 10+ of several other rares in the binder (nothing particularly valuable, I don't think, not that Ice Age has anything very valuable).

So, there's 2 complete sets, a near-complete 2 more partials, and a huge pile of extra stuff that may or may not make up substantially complete sets. Either way, now I have to buy the 5-6 cards that I need to complete the playset. Then figure out if there's enough to complete more sets, or if I'm going to just pile it on as extras when I sell off the playset. The total value might be more than if it were just 4 sets of Ice Age, but man, more work for me to have to do... Aah!

I'm just saying. Venser is at $7 in the guide, and Koth is at $8. Seems like decent value to me as far as these duel decks go. You get a PTE which is a couple bucks. I'm not saying you're going to pay your rent by buying these. But for $20 you get nearly that much value in cards.

I guess maybe I'm just thinking about the oldie days when a precon basically got you 3 crap rares and some basic land. My expectations aren't super high on the duel decks. Are you expecting Wizards to basically print you money?

The Planechase and other Duel Decks set the bar pretty high by including decent cards, and I think people were hoping for some rares that they might play in a deck outside of the precons. Besides the planeswalkers, the other rares are not exciting at all. Elspeth vs. Tezzeret, for example, has much more versatile cards included, even if they're not worth a lot.

Yea, I don't want them to print money, but I would like stuff printed I actually would use, some EDH stuff, casual stuff, not janky crap rares, uncommons, and commons.

I don't want them to print money just make good duel decks. There are way better commons then Coral Fighter's that aren't worth a crap. They could of just made the decks a little more consistent then cramming as many turds as possible into one package.

But then some (not all, but let's say more than half) of the stores would sell above MSRP and people would complain about that.

Won an 8-4 draft, and my final round opponent spent 10 minutes complaining about how my deck is horrible, and how he is unlucky because the bad cards I played just happened to stop him from winning.

Mask of Avacyn is that good.

I actually kinda like that guy with Lord of Atlantis. I guess it works with Venser's second ability to make things unblockable. Not too great on its own I guess. You get like 1/4 of Jace the Mind Sculptor sometimes .
