I haven't bought or traded in about a year, just sold. I was surprised when people try to use SCG values. That's no even close to the real value of cards or how much someone is willing to pay.200+ for a foil Gaea's Cradle and 150 for Foil Maze of Ith. The Maze of Ith guy was nice about it though so he's not an idiot. I bought a maze off of ebay for around $125. The cradle guy just told me "Good luck, i'll keep my Cradle and watch it rise in value".

More useful, Drains #3 and #4 or Jace #3? Playing a Mono Blue Control that wins with Consecrated Sphinx/Psychosis Crawler.Edit: Already have a playset of FoW in the deck, Standstills etc... Running 2x Counterspell in place of the last two Drains and a 4th Sphinx in place of the 3rd Jace. Second Edit: This is for the MTGO Classic format, casual (JFF) room.

Yeah, I'm definitely leaning towards the Drains. The only thing that's really weighing on my mind is the rarity of foil Jaces. With Worldwake redemption coming to an end soon, they're becoming harder and harder to find. I know that once redemption DOES end, its only a matter of time before they run a few Nix Packs draft weeks and I'll see a few more and hopefully the price will come down a bit too.What's kind of freaking me out though is that Supernova has two foil Jace at the moment at 205 each and only one foil Drain for 99. I keep feeling like if I don't grab one of those Jaces, I won't see them again for a long time. I do agree though that the Drains will be a better addition to the deck though. Decisions, decisions...

Was this a sale, I only ask because I saw you looking for bonfires on T/A. If I have 50 refs, I believe I've earned the right to ask people to send payments first, regardless of their refs. If this was a trade, then you deserve the outrage, but not on a sale.

Nefarox is pretty cool, but I kind of wish it said "whenever a creature attacks alone".

Definitely planning to use him. I've never even considered redemption. MTGO is my only vice. I did buy the one foil Drain off 'Nova today though so I just need to find one more. I figure I'll buy the next foil Drain I see our if I make it back up to 200 tickets first, and a foil Jace is still on there, I'll grab that.

Miscuts have seen a tremendous uptick in price. Check local stores/players.

I got first at my LGS Gameday. I was running R/G/b WolfRunRamp. Black gave me access to Go For The Throat main and Sever the Bloodline sideboard. GFtT was golden all day long, taking down Titans, Heroes of Bladehold, and even a pumped up Champion of Lambholt that would have made his entire team unblockable. Sever the Bloodline took down Strangleroot Geists and LOTS of Angel tokens. I had attacked one opponent down to 4 with Thrun, when he Miracled into Entreat the Angels and I just calmly untapped, played Sever the Bloodline on an Angel and attacked for the win.

Yeah, they're sunbleached. It's possible that he doesn't know.

I agree. Considering I had someone offer me $5 for my Giant Oyster miscut, you better be offering good money. __________________ <Liq> you just can't expect a sig worthy line to appear out of nowhere on demand <stacker> i dont hang out with the patients afterwards, we got nurses for that "Basically, if you ever find yourself daisy-chaining multiple dongles together, you must be doing pretty well in life."
