A lot of decks seem underdrafted on MODO MM. (I only play phantom, though, and I've basically 'gone infinite' on phantom single-elim.)

I ended up in RW giants at FNM last week and it was shockingly better than I expected.

I only start talking when I'm dead drawing against an insane limited deck. Its hard not to laugh when my opponent is curving bombs and I'm stuck on 3 lands

I played a guy on Momir once who's drops all countered mine somehow. Like 3x in a row at crucial cmc's against my bombs. Like, I tried to end the game with Flameblast Dragon, but his follow up was Purity. Miss a drop to kill purity, his followup shuts me down, too. I nab a Scourge, his follwup is Sweepers.

edit: who sells beat/damaged/waterlogged cards?

I'm accustomed to running one event with a bunch of people rather than multiple ones. If this is your first time working a prerelease, don't play. Will you be doing announcements at the beginning? Email me and we can continue our conversation.

Other question, what is a relatively competitive deck that's still cheap?
For t2 specifically.

edit 1: Thinking some kind of mono green beater

edit 2: or mono red

I was on the play with a Whispering Specter, and on the third strike, made him discard his remaining two cards, nailing him down at 5 drops.
My other creatures were negligible blockers, except for a 4/3 doublestrike, but that had to take out greater reaper.
This is why you focus on dropping mountains until you NEED other colors for activated abilities.

edit: Cytoplast Shambler into Godsire. yay

Picked a few hp and 'damaged' cards on the cheap and as a cheap ass i'm pretty excited about it.

There are a lot of buyers out there for shocks right now and as a Canadian buyer I find you have to be a bit more aggressive. I saw plenty of responses on buy lists offering less than I iwas for shocks simply based on the US to US relationship.

Also bear in mind playlets of individual shocks are ending slightly higher now than they were two or three weeks ago. Stomping grounds that were ending in the mid to high thirties are now ending in the low forties.

Another factor could be a lot of people are holding now that we have seen the bottom of the market. They do not want to sell until they see a rise in value.

I upped my prices already too, i was hoping to get even a "I can sell for $x" but nothing.

as a frequent seller, i sometimes pass up lists when i notice the prices are too low for my liking. I suppose inviting offers from potential sellers would help things, but you'd most likely have to sift through a lot more bad offers. It depends on how much time you have available.

I am currently holding extra shocks for possible increases in price, even though I have 2 playsets of each for my team, if that gives you any idea of the mindset of some traders.

Ya I hope i get some but if not oh well.

M2014 looks really bad.
