Same old River Rock. Honestly, I'm not convinced there's any point to sticking to Natural Order --> Progenitus any more, not when I could TNN myself. =/

Except its 20+ people hoping there is one dumb person. But in all honesty standard is all over the place in values and stability. And modern is almost a year away in season so its hard for dealers to pay too much. I mean a lot of cards have dropped DRS Shock lands Master of waves Heros downfall Nykthos Kalonian hydra Jace AOT Chandra... Some spiked and fell in less than a week or two. Others like garruk, verdict... have stabilized.

This place? If so, it didn't seem all that sketchy to me. I wonder why people keep saying that about that store. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid.

I suspect it is the sign in the window saying they buy gold. But for those that know the pricing it could be that too. Anyway, I don't think it looks that shady.

Standard is not an excuse, you have people buying NM Liliana for $20 shipped, even below SCG's buy price.

Almost, just almost felt bad for the guy. Cmon R2! http://www.flickr.com/photos/45329373@N03/11029217795/ Scrubbed out R2 Never drew Liliana, land flooded, opponent had a sick g/w human deck. Oh well, was fun well it lasted

I live in NW Indiana and while I never been there (Roselle is a bit far just to check out a shop) they advertise alot on CL, and since it's more Pawn Shop than your traditional games store maybe people get a negative vibe from that.

5 instants for delvers..? You need 10+ for them to work well.

I'm feeling the same about Urza's Saga promo Islands. I know you people have them! Sell or trade them to me!!! __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid.

I recently made a foray into EDH/Commander, to see what all the fuss was about. It's pretty fun. My deckbuilding skills clearly need some work, but I'm generally quite happy to stomp around with my mono-green Vorinclex deck. Reminds me of the good old days when we sucked as much as ours cards did.Perhaps I'll give mono-B zombies a spin next. Just for the hell of it. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S. EliotRIP Ari Legacy UGB River Rock primer.

I agree with this sentiment. Almost all of my early magic playing was 4+ player free-for-all anyway.

East/West Paladins died at some point and are zombies now btw. It's funny because they are so bad, yet people consistently play into them. B/U zombies can be fun with all of the new stuff from Innistrad (5U, "all zombies are free" is quite nice). Also B/G golgari stuff, etc.

Yeah fair point. I've done about 10 INS drafts now and I'm slowly getting better, but still end up with terrible decks half the time. Fun format though. I've opened insane stuff though, 2 Lilianas, 2 Geists, 1 Olivia, 1 Foil Snapcaster Mage all in the 10 drafts. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45329373@N03/11083284744/ edit: My second Lili deck: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45329373@N03/11083483936/ We will see how she does this time. edit2: Pulled out R1 against some W/U spirit deck, but never drew her and had to mulligan twice. edit3: Made the finals, with opponent whining about how great his deck is and how I'm just lucky hehe edit4: Victory! http://www.flickr.com/photos/45329373@N03/11084649766/
