Volcanon is referring to a series of threads authored by marlo regarding shady activity at an LGS. It is unfortunate that you missed that. ...where he supports the figurative raping of rubes ignorant of the value of their own cards in card trades but abhors the vigilante justice delivered by other magic players who come to the rescue of the ignorant rube.
This plot would make a terrible tv series but I suspect most of you would watch it!

I was really hoping for something like:"Post for Magic Stuff #78, where everyone gets a soda".

I'd love a soda right now. If only I could let someone get ripped off so I could have a free one. __________________ |My Angels~My P9 l""|"\__, |~~My #1 Angel~~l'_|'_|_|) |(@)(@)""***|(@)(@)**|(@)

Devour Flesh is also a possibility, but personally because reckoner is such a pain that or Abrupt decay or Dreadbore since the latter 2 give you more flexibility on what they can target if need be.

A guy at my LGS used to rip the newbs hard at every opportunity. Any time anyone would point out that he lied about priced he would threaten to beat them stupid for poaching his trades....dudes like 6'4" and 300 lbs. fat as hell but the store owner would quickly dismantle the situation if someone syood up to him. A friend of mines son got into mtg and started to be more competitive and like a moth to a flame this clown in people skin started to work him over bad.... No spit nothing. Tried to tell him it was a bad idea. Kids dad, my buddy, is the meanest mofo ive ever seen. He just threatened me for pointing out he was ripping the kid off so i texted my buddy and told him the scenario. Clown walked out the soor of the shop and got the worst beating ive ever seen in person. My buddy beat him like he rented him and payed the insurance Havent seen him since. Karma. What goes around comes around

Dave I'm not sure I agree with your post in the BTA about Rav's terms being "exploited"; it's not really an exploit when you send without awknowledgement of your preconditions is it.

you are entitled to your opinion. The buyer requested a PWE, Rav stated that he would not be responsible, the buyer paid. I would've refunded or requested firm understanding and acceptance prior to sending, and I have on several occasions but I still think the buyer knew the terms. and I am entitled to mine. but this is not the forum to discuss it. PM me if you wish to continue or start a thread in the appropriate forum.

It really depends on the matchup and your own meta. I'm a big fan of Abrupt Decay since it kills Deathrite Shaman, Champion of the Parish, Boros Reckoner, Flinthoof Boar. It can even kill Ravager of the Fells (transformed Huntmaster of the Fells). Mizzium Mortars is another card you should consider since it kills Restoration Angel and Loxodon Smiter and overloading it does happen in Jund, clearing their side of the board. Murder has been gaining some ground lately because it kills a creature no questions asked, but you need to adjust accordingly, since it requires double black. It kills Hellrider and Thundermaw Hellkite and untransformed Huntmaster of the Fells, something which Abrupt Decay does not. I don't like Victim of Night and Searing Spear is actually a possible liability now since Boros Reckoner can bounce the damage to your guys or to your head. Ultimate Price complements Abrupt Decay, but its inability to handle Boros Reckoner and other multi-colored creatures usually means a pass for a deck that can play so many options. Dreadbore is good in the mirror for the ability to take down Huntmaster and Garruk, but the sorcery speed means that against all the hasty creatures in the format (Lightning Mauler, Hellrider, Thundermaw Hellkite, Flinthoof Boar), it's a rather poor choice. I'd consider it in the sideboard, but against anything that's not running 4+ planeswalkers, it's just worse than the other options for Jund, IMO.

Here's another MTG story:During Time Spiral limited, I pulled a foil Teferi. Some big fat guy tried to offer cards for it that were worth about 50 cents less than what I thought Teferi was worth. What would you do in this situation? Spoilers! Full of righteous anger, I waited for him to leave, shoved a handful of chlorofoam in his face, then hustled him down to my basement, where I proceeded to torture him in unspeakable ways for daring to try to "rip me off." When he finally died after two months of torture, I drove over to his house, locked his now-orphaned children inside and burned the house to the ground. Oh, and I helped myself to his cards. But his collection sucked. Best card he had was this ugly blue hurricane and boxes and boxes of Stronghold with no rares.

I keep trying to think of more ways to make fun of marlo, but they all devolve into eating the still-beating hearts of some guy who may or may not have done something incredibly minor or something of that nature.

Feel free to restart this PFMS, but this one is not working out. I don't want to hear about your violent fantasies.
