Well in print booster box is never below $150. MM box was $280. Ftv20 is $290 cheapest $300 mostly. Pds fire and ice was $45. Ultra pro 'leather' binder is $45. Heroes v monsters is $35.
I am not complaining about all shipping. Quite a few US ebay "stores" charge insurance or premium post which is $20~ for singles. Of course ppl like kidicarus post for $3-4 , but I cant get ebay booster boxes with worth while shipping cost. I would love to hear if anyone knows cheap parcel prices.

yes, but my understanding everything is higher priced in Australia because the AU Dollar was ~.65 to $1 USD forever and prices haven't changed once they equalized. Rates of pay in AU were similarly based on that value of the AU Dollar so if you order internationally you should be able to get quite a bit more outa your money.

Just my loose understanding based on what I've picked up from a buddy that moved to AU

I have no basis for any of the decks other than the BWU deck. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the deck was put together after opening it. There was not a lot I wanted to replace.

Not sure which deck is the best but the Marath deck is probably the worst. The only time it had a real impact was with Warstorm Surge in play. Marath itself is a sweet design and I think I might build a deck around it.

Ok, I am buying one of these, probably tomorrow. I want to crack and play it. Mind Seize will probably be all gone, bc of TNN.

That being said, I am torn between Evasive Maneuvers and Eternal Bargain. Both decks have cards I want to use in other decks, so either really works for me.

If you had to choose one of these, which would you choose?

So I went to Wal Mart and found 12 commander decks. 3 were Mind Seize. All decks were 29.99.

I picked up the Eternal Bargain (because I wanted to play this) and reluctantly left the 3 Mind Seizes. If anyone wants me to pick it up for them, $30.00, plus a finder's fee (cash or cards) and shipping, PM me. We'll see if we can work something out.

Had a similar situation but with 7 Mind Seize decks at the Target. I may have to go and sweep up 4 but it seems like an alarming number to have in stock.

That's like finding $60 on the ground and not picking it up.

Ditto. I should write an angry letter to Walmart demanding that they stock MSRP-priced EDH decks.

Hmmm that is odd..... maybe WOTC realized how popular the first set of Commander Decks were and upped the print run on these a TON. That's good because it will lessen the value on TNN if you need them for Legacy.

Or perhaps you both just got lucky and walking in at the right time.

I've yet to see a Mind Seize deck in stores, but I've seen all the rest at Wal-Mart and Barnes and Noble.

Mind seize is the only deck I'd probably buy bc I could sell the TNN and keep the rest of it as an EDH deck only needing to replace one card.

Went back to Wal-Mart and picked up a Mind Seize as well. Bumped into a buddy who is a big EDH player, and he picked up all 5.

So I sleeved up Eternal Bargain and Mind Seize, as is, and will be playing EDH tomorrow night. Will report how it goes. EDH has been so excellent, I haven't played a 60 card deck in a couple months, lol!

I have all ten commander decks in their original forms sleeved up. I like to think they're balanced.

TBH, I realy, REALLY like Sydri, Galvanic Genius and am going to build an EDH deck for her. I was thinking of cards today, then checked some lists on line, and I seem to be spot on with some.

I've been working on a WUB-control style deck with Oloro. Not really keeping it too crazy with life gain, outside of a few cards and trying to avoid some of the more pillow fort style decklists I keep seeing. Should still be a solid deck though.
