pretty sure the biggest *******s in cockatrice, are JtMS players. Not the way they play. They play it right. Not the deck they play him in. They are solid as ****. But the most ******* commenbts I Get are people with an active Jace in play. Then they all act like 12 years olds with the handin the cookie jar.

For me, I have a much bigger problem with Burn players, all formats. They are sloppy with mechanics, sloppier with rule knowledge, and almost always quit after the first game, win or lose.

Random schmucks can't compete in the main event since it is invitation only.

http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/events.aspx?x=mtg/event/worldchamp/2013/info

The world cup is also being held at the same time in the same location, it's also invitation only.

Thought so, that's what I was looking for, thanks.

eh, I still have 384

That is a fairly big drop though. Pretty sure my MOTL Refs were at 500+.

lol, I PandaBurst-ed some dude last night to make myself "feel better."

Oh, My wife and I are coming to your neck of the woods in a few months. *leaving this as a reminder to email you with some questions

I sent this to a guy:
My Armageddon (PT2)
your
Oracle of Mul Daya
Sporeback Troll (Common)
Vigean Hydropon (C)
Bioshift (C)
Cultivate (C)
Muddle the Mixture (C)
Shielding Plax (C)
Skyshroud Claim (C)

lmk

His response:
From my system, an Oracle is about the same value as the Armageddon so, I wouldn't do this trade. I tried to find a counter from your list but I think because we use different systems, it would be difficult to find a middle ground. Thanks for the offer though.

It's 7 random ****ing commons. 7 random commons makes the trade in my favor to the point of not doing the trade (and yes, I understand both the Cultivate and Skyshroud Claim are EDH favorites but still)? Are you ****ing kidding me? This has to be the worst thing I've seen in a long time.

NOT TO MENTION, PT2 Armageddon trumps the value of an Oracle of Mul Daya by like 1-2 dollars.

Unreal.

See what Zeckk said below you.
It just defies logic. He's essentially saying he won't do the deal because adding in the Commons would make it in my favor.

And he'd probably do the same in person, there are a ton of people who have to get even value no matter what.

I was trading down 2 duals for other smaller legacy cards and i was up by 3 dollars and they just kept looking for more cards.

I had a real stingy guy like that.
He was so certain my Geists should be his and i guess no one else had 4x or were using them, so he said he didn't care to offer me over their total value because he needed them.
Now keep in mind we both had at least $1500 dollars worth of stuff in our binders, and his included 4x of most standard staples, a bunch of alters (a couple even worth looking at), foreign, and some good modern and legacy.
So we look up the values on SCG (at the time i had no idea what TCG/Ebay/MOTL values were) and they were $30ea.
I asked about huntmasters and a hellkite and they both were $25 ea. So i'm 5 dollars up and he got really uneasy and said i was ahead. Asked him if we going to use those cards, nope, asked him i thought you didn't mind trading in my favor, said he didn't mean THAT much and asked if he could pick out a junk rare. Asked about a couple rares over $5, said nope nope how about something smaller like a junk rare, asked if he could a russian blood artist, said nope. Got REALLY frustrated and asked if he could at least have a counterflux. In my mind i said he said was a stingy prick but said sure, and never talked to him again.

1. Playing the "what do you value it at?" game with every card in my binder.

2. "The price guide is my bible." Searching and then adding SCG/TCG player prices for every card. Made worse when I'm only looking for junk for my TYPE4 or EDH. Not matching pennies for your junk rares/foils.

3. Trading partner initial wants a $5 card for their $5 card in a perfect/easy/fast trade, but then his eyes get too big when he sees a $50 card he wants instead. Calls you out for being "hard to trade with!" when you don't bend to his will.

4. Incessant chatter from the "got trades?!?" guy. He's already asked to trade with you twice, but has forgotten what you and your binder look like.
