I've used:

http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/toploaders/

If you get the thicker ones you can send 4 cards in a single toploader and save on postage since you don't have to add an extra ounce for a second toploader.

That Article is great for so many reasons

I will take a quote for those without a Gold account

"Combine that with a staff of moderators that are often overzealous and heavy-handed, and I recommend giving MTG Salvation a pass. "



Hahaha, anything mention of MOTL?

Yes,

He said our site is good, that the functionality of other sites isn't there, and he doesn't recommend it for people who are new to trading online.

wow, that is fairly sad. Either way, I just passed on a trade w/ my thragtusks in it tonight... oh well. I still like them and I think I'll just hold onto the 2 I've got.

I was talking about the burning vengeance deck. It has the phoneix...and some basics that are from M13? Their choice in releasing certain decks under certain sets is starting to puzzle me.

Event decks are 24.99 right? It might put a cap on how much Thragtusks will sell for but I don't know if it'll drop all that much. I think current prices, that event deck probably adds up to almost exactly $25 in value. (Edit: previous estimate was off, failed to see the 2 Razorverges in there.)

well prices aren't placed on TCG player by hand. Its because some store has them listed at 100 ea (foil OR nonfoil!!). They likely just pulled them cause of an event of something and that was the easiest way to do it for them? I've never heard of the store thats doing it tho: The Monstore.

I don't ever mind getting booted from a game when I have a forest with 2 Sprawls and 2 Growths on it, a Savannah, WoWar and a Confinement in play. Presence, Halo and Tutor in hand and they say, "I don't have time to play Enchantress."

Why is it that I always beat the crap out of everybody at tourneys/FNM when it doesn't count for anything, and when there's finally something to be won I end up somewhere in the middle..
(and yes, there is serious competition at the tourneys that I do win)

I drafted Battle of Wits last night. I didn't have time to sleeve it before round one, so I played a 40 card deck, and cruised in the first two rounds. Round three I did roll out the 250 card deck. Each game I windmill slammed nothing on the last turn I could draw it.

It was a lot of fun. I think I could have beaten Jeff (Battle_of_Twits) with my 40 card deck (not necessarily would, mind you), but living the dream was more important.

Let me start by saying I'm only a L1, if someone higher up wants to weigh in on drawing, sounds good.

I think the reason that sometimes it's ok to split/draw and other times it's not is that sometimes it is bribery and other times it's not. I'll give an example or two from real life, in round 2 of a 7 round event player A says ''hey, if you concede to me I'll give you half my prizes'' in a joking voice. Player B calls the judge, player A is disqualified without prize. He offered a bribe.

Two players in the last round of a 7 round Swiss tournament are tied at 18 points, next highest player has 15 points. They decide to draw the game so that they can't fall to a lower place in the standings rather than risk coming in third if they lost. Afterwards they decide to split the prizes. All is well.

Now, say if the last two players had sat down for their match and one says ''I'll draw if we split'' that's illegal, and I would give them a DQ. Say they sit down and say, ''do you want to split prizes?'' that's fine. Then, *after* they have already agreed to split prizes, so there is no bribe in the prizes they can agree to draw, or they can play it out.

Basically it's up to the judge to determine if one player was bribing the other. If they were bribing the other, then they get a big fat DQ, same with anyone accepting a bribe. Otherwise it's fine.

I personally have some misgivings about drawing into first, because it seems alot like collusion, and I have a hard time seeing how it isn't collusion, and as a judge it's my job to make sure everything is done *fairly*, and according to the rules. There seems to be an exception for IDs though, since all of the judges above accept them as allowed.

Not sure where to post this, but I was just wondering if anyone could PM me directing me to members on here that are interested in buying bulk rares?

Sorry if that was all spammy... just curious.

If there is anything offered to get a match result it is generally bribery. It's very judge dependent and wording dependent, which is kind of sad.

Scenario A, which is legal:
Last round of a PTQ. Sam asks Bob if he has any interest in the Pro Tour invite. Bob says yes it is his life long dream. Sam offers the following prize split: the winner of the match gets the Pro Tour Invite, and the loser gets all of the other prize support, for both first and second place. Bob says sure, that sounds fine. Then Sam concedes. This is all legal.

Scenario B, which is illegal:
Last round of a PTQ. Sam asks Bob if he has any interest in the Pro Tour invite. Bob says yes it is his life long dream. Sam offers to concede if he gets the prize support for both first and second place, but not the invite. This is bribery.

Yes, both would mean the EXACT SAME result. However, the method used to reach the result is the difference between bribery and an agreed-upon prize split. We recently had this very issue come up at our LGS, so I enlisted the help of Ben McDole (L3) out of Tampa and he confirmed the above, but did mention to be very careful because in the end it IS the judge's discretion to decide if foul play was involved.
