Does anyone know where I could get older boosters for a decent price so I don't pay a gazillion? There's too many sites too look and there's bound to be someone on here that knows about this.I'm mostly looking for: Mirrodin Block Tempest Block Onslaught Block Mirage Block And I preferrable want 8 of each set in a block so we can have a real draft. But I can take any other older block, too, including standard sets like 4th or 5th edition. A friend of mine his house caught fire, and due to fire and water (fire-department) damage those boosters could be thrown away. Fortunately we already did Odyssey, Saga and Invasion drafts but those others are lost. His birthday is coming up in a few months and me and some guys would like to surprise him with some re-stocking. I'm open for trade/buy if someone has any left, too! __________________ Lord Flasheart: Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why. Lieutenant George: Why do you have no underwear, Lord Flash?

The LGS I play at has Mirrodin boosters for $8. Not sure if that's reasonable or not though.

Thanks. Does it have Darksteel and Fifth Dawn as well? As I just found a place over here where they have Mirrodin ones for a fair price, but lack Darksteel and 5th Dawn. __________________ Lord Flasheart: Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why.

All they have from that block is Mirrodin

What would this cost if it was the mythic land coming in Dragon's Maze?Niv Mizzet's Labyrinth {T}, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice Niv Mizzet's Labyrinth: Search your library for a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain or Forest card and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.

It's not and I don't think this will ever see print without doing something to make it not just better than every fetch ever printed.

Honestly though, would you rather a mythic rare land be a constructed-playable card? __________________ It is a known fact that more Americans watch the television than any other appliance.

Yes, why not. The power level of that card JensK mentioned would be a tad too high. I wouldn't have minded if Cavern of Souls was a mythic. (No, I'm not worried about how much $ the card would cost.) // I'm wondering whether it's worth it to go grade all of my bulk beta U/Cs and list them individually for sale, or if I should just sell them off as a lot. There's like 300-400+ of them. I feel like it's a waste of time to individually grade a bunch of $2 crap, but everyone always asks for EX+ or better or something because they want them for sets.

problem is if they are graded it wil cost you money and no one will want to pay a premium for Beta bulk stuff like people do for the real goods. So it will be very difficult for you to recoup the cost unless you just want to eat it or hope to get lucky to find that unusual individual that would give a bit extra for that.

Oops, sorry - for clarification, not graded as in PSA/BGS graded, but graded as in I take the time to look at every card and say if they're EX or VG or whatever.It's a lot of $2 cards to look at. As most people that have bought stuff from me know I don't have tons of free time these days.

I voted land, because that way no matter what color you're playing you could stick this card into your deck. I guess it's still a matter of whether or not the theme is there, but at least you can play with it regardless. I hope it's a man land. those are always nice

I second all of this.. I want Manland Utility Lands!!! Land T: Add X to your mana pool. Y: Do some random on color ability. Z: ~ becomes a a creature with various power and toughness and some on color keyword that fits both X and Z and Y Something like that would be neat, taps for one color, has a ability that costs a second color, and the manland activation costs a 3rd color. Maybe have it enter the battlefield tapped or maybe have the mana activation case pain or something, cause WoTC likes drawbacks on manlands. __________________ I shall have the souls of all who defy me.

Voted enchantment. Too easy for a land to be boring. Enchantments are as open ended as artifacts, if not more so.

Well, I think I've played my last game of Magic for a while. I don't feel comfortable playing locally anymore since one of the guys is still steamed that he had a better games-won percentage than the guy the came in 2nd, but he still came in 3rd. Not a big deal, but it's also the same kid who was bragging about having a few friends in gangs who he asked to, his words "kill that kid" to earn their stripes because he thought the guy stole something, but later found out it was a different person altogether, which he didn't really care about. The general atmosphere at our events is a lot different now, ultra-competitive, weekly rage-quits, arguments over stupid stuff, and just a general un-fun place. It just seems like a good time to switch back to just collecting.__________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please!

Why not find an accommodating pub and play there with just a small group of friends? That's how my EDH group plays. Every Tuesday we meet at this pub that is happy to host us and play, drink, play.

Drawbacks on free uncounterable creatures that are only vulnerable to instant-speed removal and can tap for mana? Gee, you don't say?
