Not that I'm aware of, you can post as much as you want. Though for trading arguments, I would try and keep it as comprimised as possible. This will encourage people to actually look at your list instead of glancing it and turning away as there is too much stuff.

I'm playing Visions of Beyond maindeck to have a possible quadruple Ancestral Recall in Legacy to refill my hand with mill cards. In the event that I should side in Leyline of the Void I'd have to take out the Visions, but what 1cc blue spell would you add in to make up for the card draw loss: Ponder or Preordain? (Note I'm already playing Brainstorm of course)

I like the Scry ability of Preordain but if you scry 2 away, you don't know what you're gonna get. With Ponder you dig 1 deeper but you keep the other 2 cards even if you don't want them (excess lands). That can be fixed with Fetches but still, that has to be available right then and there.

Your choice?

Guys, some advice. I'm playing a Legacy mill deck on Sunday evening (upcoming tourney report next week!) and I know it's futile but I've gotta do it once.

It doesn't violate any rules, but it's not the best idea. With long trade lists, virtually any offers are going to come from the trade matcher. All of the extra cards posted as an add-on won't be matched, so they're missing the target by quite a bit.

if im interested, i just go to ebay. about $35-40 shipped for a common/uncommon 4x set, which is pretty good if the set has 2-3 decent uncommons.

this is for in print/recent sets though. if you want old stuff, no idea.

I'm not sure that this is a better idea, but modern lists (who don't have ponder/preordain access, to be clear) run thought scour as the other cantrip.

The question has come up many many many many times, and the answer is always Ponder with enough fetches. The trick is figuring out enough fetches. Preordain shines with less than 5 tho.

I'm playing only 4 fetches. I'm still not set which ones I'll play, but neighing towards Ponder.

It's cool. I do hope that people learn a lesson after seeing John Thompson, Raymond Reimer, and jessiemtg though. It is never a good idea to send money first to a person with low refs like that, especially when they are clearly selling them below market values.

I don't feel that way about anyone. I don't trust anyone until they provide a reason for me to. European, Canadian, Americans alike would get the same treatment in these situations.

Wait, they're not??

Welcome to the club of Non-USA residents. Us Europeans and other continent-inhabitants know what they're going through.
