1. I will not ship outside North America unless it is worth while.
If you only trade in the US you might as well end it right here it will save time for both of us

It's a subtle way of saying he prefers larger deals, and for all intents and purposes, the smaller deals already have shipping factored into the prices offered. There's nothing wrong with that, especially considering the number of people who offer roughly competitive prices on their buylists and say that shipping is already included.

It also gives you as a seller a choice.

I'd probably sell a fair number of cards to him if he wasn't basically only looking for Mythics.

Why is that, other than the fact that you're outside the US? I mean, I don't see why Canada<->US is significantly better than any other international trade, but there are pretty damn good reasons for doing US<->US only. The cost of tracking is absurd and I bet you that the # of "lost mail" BTAs for international trades is much higher than that for domestic, and on top of that, there's probably more domestic trading going on here than there is international (even though we do have a large # of international people here).

Anyway!

How do they work this out? If you win FNM and get some random number of packs they buy them back at $X per pack? If so, what rate do they buy them back at?

I thought about that, but the idea is to encourage bigger sales. So if you sell me $200, you get $10 and flat rate box is only $5, so you essentially make $3-4 on shipping.

That's pretty much what I figured. I don't mind paying shipping when I'm buying cards, but I want it to be worth my time. I don't want to pay $2 to ship some $5 card. It negates the benefit of buying online to save a little.

That said, a pretty extensive buy list is needed to make a percentage approach viable.

Don't lump me in

Overseas shipping can be expensive, people would rather limit themselves then know when to be cautious.

izzet charm looks like it might be my new favorite card.

Think Charm and Mangler are the stand outs though for new cards.

So I was in the finals of a draft the other night and the player I was up against offered a split if I concede to him. I say sure, I'm not after QP since I don't play enough to get qualified for anything important. So I concede and open a trade window but he refuses to give me the split as offered. Then I go to message him and it says I'm blocked. People are so lovely aren't they?

Even still I wouldn't mention it on here because it really is only a couple of bucks but the user was named Krondo9 and now I log on here to see a BTA against a person with the same name. So, whatever.

How do you play against it?
Is the only way to beat Sneak & Tell using counter/hand disruption?

What deck are you playing? Most of the Show and Tell/Sneak Attack targets are usually legendary so you could play Karakas, or Knight of the Reliquary to find Karakas. If you're not G/W then Ensnaring Bridge is pretty good as is Maze of Ith (though it won't stop the Annihilator trigger). Spell Pierce and other counterspells obviously if you're in blue. Targeted discard (Thoughtseize, Cabal Therapy) if you're in black and you could even try Edict effects like Diabolic Edict or Innocent Blood.

Its the version with Omniscience...it is just so frustrating. Once that thing hits the table its been game over...i guess getting rid of it first is the move...havent had a lot of luck.
