You can lie by omission if you choose. That doesn't mean that's what it should cost to ship.

I usually ask something for some conversation.

Or to find out if he plays basic lands so my Ghost Quarter will work meaning my Archive Trap can be activated

I've also lied through my teeth. If he was playing any destruction and I said very few black sources, sometimes I could get him to prioritize nuking my lands while I just win the game. Nothing that requires an honest answer to those questions.

I lie. A lot. It's somewhat ignorant for them to believe I'm going to help them. Even at a FNM.

At FNM, it bothers me when it's someone I don't like, or I'm just in a bad mood. Anywhere else, yes all the time.

I'm not very cuttthroat at FNM. Could be just me, but if I have to rules lawyer somebody in a close game and win the match and potentially have the MTG community lose a player, I'll take the loss every single time. If it's a high profile tournament I could care less what happens after. No reason to be mean at FNM.

It's not about being cutthroat. It's just plain dumb to ask me something along the lines of, "Hey. Do you play counterspells in that deck? I'm wondering if I should cast X." Yes, someone has asked me that before. I obviously lied. If it were about rules or some such, I have no problems answering questions and letting them do things the way they wanted something to work out (if it's possible), but that's what not exhibit A above is doing.

Exactly. This sort of stuff doesn't bother me. I don't even mind helping them figure it out for our FNM rules lawyers.

Gotta bluff. I think the best is when I count storm and get somebody to bite on some spell and counter it when it's obvious I'm not playing storm.

If you are feeling sneaky I recommend picking up some tokens that are popular in the format you are playing and having them handy by your deck.

Picking up some Mox Diamonds. Should i go with the original printing or from the vaults? I can't decided. Which one do you think will have the best long term value.

always originals. and ftv have a terrible foiling process, enjoy your marked cards penalties.
