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?

2x City of Brass's is more like 9 or 10. 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. __________________ Want Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief, and other vampire females oddities (foreign, foil, crimp, miscut, misprint, sign, test print, alters, artist proofs, etc)Seeking jap/rus/kor/ger nonfoils for Ghave EDH

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.

This is where I got mine. Just a few pennies cheaper it looks like. Free shipping also.

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.

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.__________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

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. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.
