Choco man, you posted on my list asking about that offer and I explained it to you where I got my prices from. For you to bring it up AGAIN with no other context at all is nothing but an attack on me. I am extremely offended by this.

They won't not until it costs them 100's, then there might be a small chance.

Everything I use, regardless of the value are the Bubble Mailers, with the plastic type inner coating under the bubble portion, them seem fairly strong, usually need a knife to open them easily.

Unless I'm sending large amounts, then its usually Bubble Mailers inside Flat Rate Boxes..

Hell you opened what

45+5+7+13+10+13+30+5+10+6+7= ~151.00 give or take....and that's not even a god box, probably average box.

SO hope gatecrash continues the trend!!!

Alright, I feel like I have to defend myself here. To the best of my memory, that offer was made during prerelease weekend or shortly after (aka TWO WEEKS AGO), while EBAY prices for Abrupt Decay was around $17 and Troll was around $9. Taiga was around $45-47 and Intuition was around $25-27. So the offer was certainly reasonable because those were really hot cards at the time. Granted, in hindsight, the offer I made is now terrible, but IF Abrupt Decay ruled Legacy and Troll ruled T2 last weekend, those prices will certainly increased instead of going down as much as they did, especially for Abrupt Decay.

Choco man, you posted on my list asking about that offer and I explained it to you where I got my prices from. For you to bring it up AGAIN with no other context at all is nothing but an attack on me. I am extremely offended by this.

So again, I feel like choco man is attacking me.

When a MOTL'er posts about how a lopsided offer offended them, the reply is to ignore the offer, move on, and to not take a bad offer as an insult. But some offers are just bad. Bad offers leave a sour aftertaste. That offer was bad enough to offend the person who made the offer.

As for context, it's like you said. Abrupt Decay has only been out 2 weeks. I didn't go into a way-back machine to pull that quote. I don't believe any guide puts that trade at reasonable, that's why I asked you how you reached that offer.

You don't have to justify wanting to make trades really in your favor.

Looking at the cards you have posted on your h/w list, I'll assume that you make really good trades. And that with +600 refs on MOTL (=~+700 trades), that the offer isn't the first lopsided offer you've made. And that it won't be the last one you get accepted/confirmed/shipped.

I asked for the guide you used, because again, I don't think that offer was anywhere near reasonable. If it was reasonable, I would check that guide out and trade with you using it. I have some old cards that I want to trade so I can play standard. And we've traded before.

Cracked these:

1x Jace
1x Steam Vents
1x Overgrown Tomb
1x Blood Crypt
2x Lotleth Troll
2x Jarad
1x Rakdos
1x Cyclonic Rift
1x Foil Cyclonic Rift
1x Detention Sphere
1x Supreme Verdict
1x Mizzium Mortars
1x Desecration Demon
1x Loxodon SMiter
1x Chromatic Lantern

Don't want to play UWr.

Probably Rakdos aggro or UW aggro.

I'm using the most blingin' lands ever. Gold bordered .

Him: I’m sorry, I’m too lazy to scan them. Have a great day.

Wow, just wow.
1. You scan them once and save them, so you only need to scan them once for everybody.
2. Leading from #1, scans on duals are what makes them sellable to the majority of people looking for them...

Unreal.

Helm + Rest in Peace (with Energy Field as back up) is starting to do "good."

Seems easier to protect than BW Leyline + Helm plus you get that blue planeswalker guy to come in as an alternative.

We were discussing land choices on our ride to states. The most uncool cool lands (aka hipster lands) that i was able to come up with were zendikar lands that are not full art from the precon decks.

If you want to stick w/ obscure and black bordered then you can get simplified Chinese portal 2 lands as long as it isn't swamps.
