SDCC PWs FTV:20 Commander's Arsenal 4 LED 2 Gaea's Cradle Elves Vs. Goblins Even assuming they are all equally wanted now, I think the SDCC PWs will be the most desired of the group in less than a few months. If you get that money sooner rather than later I'd make that a first priority bc they are going to skyrocket in value, especially come Christmas time. My list is prioritized in order of what you buy today will be cheaper than tomorrow. [Edited 2 times, lastly by daner on July 26, 2013]

I'm not a collector, so I rank everything else based on playability of the singles. I think the planeswalkers look incredibly ugly, so they're last on my list. Obviously, some people may disagree, so I'm sharing my thought process so you can adjust according to your own preferences.
Devonin Member	posted July 26, 2013 06:23 AM FTV:20 is probably going to retail at over 400 dollars. That moves it pretty far down the list for me.

Goblins, but for the rest: SDCC PWs Cmdr's Arsenal / FTV:20 Cradles / LED I put them in the order of how hard it will be to find these things down the road. For example, I put the playables last because I think you're always going to be able to find them--the only question is at what price. If one of those were a foil Cradle that might be a different question, but just regular ones, meh. I personally think the SDCC planeswalkers are only going to get harder to find. Yeah, some people don't like them, but the supply of them is way less than the # of people that do like them and want a set of them. If they don't get reprinted, I expect them to eventually (someday) go the way of some of those really rare collection cards that you have to literally hunt people down for. Maybe I'm just biased. (I just dropped $390 on a set... which is still $150 more than I wanted to, but it couldn't be helped. They're not going to drop, IMO.) [Edited 1 times, lastly by Bagbokk on July 27, 2013]

I ended up in second, swapped my M14 prize packs for RTR and ended up w/ a foil Jace. Not too bad. I'm mostly addicted to draft tho, so I'll likely go this wed :/ Stupid M14
spike777 Member	posted July 29, 2013 06:42 AM Do you guys like EDH? I've always been more into legacy, but a friend of mine is trying to get me to build an EDH deck. Is it worth dissolving a legacy deck (forces, duals) to build one, or should I just proxy the whole thing? I don't really have much money to put into a new deck, so if I didn't dissolve at least part of a legacy deck, I'd only be able to put in maybe $50 max a month. I'm kind of torn and would appreciate any advice.

I'm kind of torn and would appreciate any advice. If you have a legacy deck built don't dissolve it, just use it as part of your EDH deck. Start with a 2 color general, you probably already have the Dual land, Wasteland, possibly Port and a few other of the higher end cards that would be in your deck. $50 a month while already having the 2-3 most expensive cards in your deck is a good starting point and will easily get your deck built in a timely fashion. I was gonna say I had a mono Green Asuza deck built a few months ago that had just about every expensive green card allowed and it was only worth about $300(before Cradle skyrocketed). It still wouldn't be that expensive. [Edited 1 times, lastly by daner on July 29, 2013]

I would seriously try to gauge the power level of the decks you will be playing against before putting a deck together. If you don't have to be cutthroat, you can shave off some of the bigger investments. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air! I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

It's by far the most pricey of mono decks and you'll have a giant target on your back even if your deck sucks, because u decks can do a LOT of unfair things, but mostly counter stuff....which will make other players turn on you fast.

iccarus Member	posted July 29, 2013 05:10 PM Yeah, I guess I should have mentioned that mono-blue is a hate magnet, even if you try to be "fair" with your build. Green and Black tend to be the better mono-colored decks. They have enough powerful cards to hold their own. Red and White can be good if built right, but that can be difficult to do because of the lack of tutors and card draw in those colors. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!

oneofchaos Member	posted July 29, 2013 08:56 PM After being out of the game for the most part, what's the easiest way to organize my stuff practically? I don't know what formats I want to get into, but it sucks finding a city of traitors unsleeved with basic lands so it's clearly time to start sorting.
Devonin Member	posted July 29, 2013 09:23 PM I'd probably just start with sorting by rarity. If you're not sure what format you want to get into, assemble all your rares, and see what's in there. Once you decide on a format, you can look at trading/selling off the high value stuff in formats you aren't going to play in, to finance getting the must-haves where you want to play.
