Vault, library and balance are less abusive. It's really the moxen, crypt and sol ring that are oppressive.

Some of the sales list I've seen on here would take days to price. Is it best to break the list up into sections by value? Say $25.00, $15.00, $5.00, $2.00, $1.00 as an example then just round a card's price up or down to fit in?

---

Yea, breaking into brackets helps, both buyer and seller, there are also a few sites that avg prices from a variety of sources...just matter of finding one you like.

Who do you guys recommend I should trade with, thats from Japan and would have easy access to such things

On a similar note, what's a fair buy price on bulk foil promos? I'm talking NM but not playable outside of very casual stuff?

CFB is selling Garruk Wildspeaker, Koth of the Hammer, and Ajani Vengeant for $3.99 each and Chandra Nalaar for $3.49; I believe multiple printings of all of these have kept their prices really low.

No restriction, really. I've been running mini-master tournaments for the magic club at my wife's school. Pretty much 4th-8th graders. One of the parents does the prize support (packs), but the kids go nuts whenever one of them cracks a Planeswalker and I thought that would be a cool alternate prize. I just wanted to see if there were any I could pick up super cheap that would still be playable in their 80-card un-sleeved decks.

So, it looks like OG Garruk and Chandra are my best bet.

Anyone have advice on cheap promo prices? I mean, if I posted a buy thread offering like $0.25 for random NM foil promos, would I get any bites?

T1 Sol-Ring is always the most broken thing you can do in cube. I know some semi pro players that want it removed from every cube because its too broken.

for some yes, I got some Garruk's Horde Promo's like 2-3 sealed packs, also other lower end promo's would also gte hits at 0.25/ea

Actually probably T1 crypt is worse. I recall a T1 crypt swamp bitterblossom, T2 swamp braids play. Gee Gee.

so if Wild Nacatl is to strong for Modern and t3 kills are too fast for modern, shouldn't the same logic apply to standard?
Champion of the Parish is better than Nacatl in standard right now and the Naya Humans deck can kill on t3(though rare).
Wild Nacatl is partially band becasue of how easy it is to be 3/3 on t2, yet champion can do that as well, and then on t3 get even bigger etc, etc... so is it possible that WOTC should consider banning Champion in standard? I'm not saying they should or shouldn't but based on Nacatl being banned in modern and champion (though restricted by only humans making him bigger) can actually be much better in a human deck, and generally WOTC doesn't like standard decks that kill that fast.

I duck the entire issue with my most recent cube since it's tribal pauper. It's like playing a high power Onslaught draft without the rares.

Crypt is better the turn you play it. Every turn afterwards, it's much worse than Sol Ring.

I'll give you that perfect/dream opening that you mention. Curving out perfectly with Crypt is devastating, but most "god" openers are devastating.

I suppose Sol Ring also powers out its fair share of turn 4 Titans. Except you never, never take damage from Sol Ring.

If damage isn't relevant, then why is Inferno Titan relevant?

Even in powered cubes, damage is relevant and aggro is very good. Unless you win turn one, I suppose your opponent drafted a deck and came to play as well.

Using your very good turn 1 mana crypt opener-curve out as a reference, turn 1 Bitterblossom isn't game. And turn 2 Braids has many 1cc/2cc answers.
