What were the really nice perfect fits that people used?

I apparently have two different kinds (I don't have either packaging). They are somewhat different sizes so I probably don't care/can't tell at a local tourney, but something big I should be concerned?

Also there was some nice "matte" sleeve people paired with it?

The value comes in the rares sure but look at the uncommons

4x Souls
4x Processions
2x Inquisition

It's not disappointing. I don't know if $75 is a steal if you're looking for value, but it's playable.

Conspiracy is getting some fun cards.

I like that Parley is a keyword.

PIRATE CARDS!

KMC most likely. I just bought a carton of KMC Hyper Mat sleeves and KMC Perfect Fit sleeves at the suggestion of a number of users here.

As a side note, what's the cheapest people get these for? I ordered a carton of each (30 packs each) from Saito Card Shop (1JPY@102.24USD at the time)

$3.91 KMC Hyper Mat Black (12,000 JPY / 30 Packs -> USD)
+ $1.45 Allocated Shipping (8,900 JPY / 60 Packs -> USD)
=$5.36 each pack estimated

$1.57 KMC Perfect Fit (4,800 JPY / 30 Packs -> USD)
+ 1.45 Allocated Shipping (8,900 JPY / 60 Packs -> USD)
=$3.02 each pack estimated

I couldn't find these cheaper but now I have to wait for them to arrive from Japan.

Edit: Arrived from Japan in only 3 days. Props to Saito Card Shop.

Dang. I was trying to find a place like that but eventually gave up and ordered from Japan. Thank goodness I love waiting weeks for international packages

Edit: Arrived from Japan in only 3 days. Props to Saito Card Shop.

3 Path to Exile ~$15-20.
3 Honor of the Pure ~$6
3 Kataki ~6-9

Value wise I think it's very good at the $75 MSRP.


Plus 2 Inquisition of Kozilek

I like that one as well as the new UBR one spoiled tonight. Encourages taking on king of the hill and not low hanging fruit.

I wanted to let anyone that read my original statements know that Saito Card Shop got my order to me in 3 business days from Tokyo. I'm going to be editing my post since I don't want anyone to lose business for possible shipping delays if they're running so efficiently.

Guys, I'm planning on going to this year's PTQ in Philly. Can somebody tell me if there are many table vendors there as well, like the GP, or is it different?

I find it funny that the block PT is this weekend and I have yet to see a Theros block god hit play in the constructed portion. I guess the fixing in block is good enough that nobody wanted to run devotion builds.

Should have 4 or more. But no the top dogs from far away won't show. SCG and cool stuff come to mind.

Deicide is a highly splashable card that can hose god-based strategies, and the best devotion enablers are from RtR block.

That's kind of what I figured. I still think it's strange though to have one of the main mechanics of the block barely make a splash at the PT. Especially in a format so light on mass removal.
