I feel like online trading is dead. Not just MOTL.

Not that I was largely active but life has been more important then cardboard the last few months.

Sold a house
bought 14 acres to start a Christmas tree farm

getting read to quit my real job to launch my own woodworking business.

I have some time now back in April I had about 50k cards listed on tcgplayer mostly uncommon/commons but a lot of $1-$5 cards and now I'm trying to figure out the best way to check all the prices as I had to put it on vacation mode for 3-4 months.

Is it best to just turn it back on and run with the old prices updating them when I notice a difference or just empty the whole list and start over?

Also does anyone know if Kuleron is still active? I bought a bunch of cards from them, and they shipped me some extra stuff they needed me to store for them till they came back the to US. I've messaged them here and email but have gotten no response. I've had the cards for 2-3 months now.

---

i just got paid last night for some cards bought by Kuleron. still active but not as frequent. PM worked for me.

By the way, how many bulk rares do you have now? I would love to trade for your power but I don't have enough bulk rares :P.

---

Actually I've been moving a lot of them, down to about 25K from a peak of about 60K!

I don't know why I even bother. Grow up, MTG community. Seriously. Grow the eff up.

I wasn't able to finish a single first game tonight, and spent an hour and a half on those getting into those games. Ugh.

you're playing on a free, unlicensed, unregulated, unsupported piece of software. play on mtgo and you will eliminate a lot of your issues.

MTGO will introduce a lot of new issues like:
1. Things cost too much.
2. Conversely, your cards are never worth anything.
3. The trading is absolutely terrible.
4. Fun casual things like cube are only available sometimes and costs $14 to play once. And the MTGO cube sucks.
5. The new client is even worse than the old one.

Plus there are bungholes there, too. Although granted, fewer.

So selling to SCG at one of their events. I got a bunch of bulk. Can I just show up with it, or do I need to email a buylist to them? I'm assuming I should probably let them know I wanna show up with like giant pile of cards, but wanted to make sure. If I can just be like yo I got this crap, here ya go! That'd be ok too.

Well, I've played against both. The silent types and the talking ones. I prefer the talking ones (positive talking that is). But I agree, most of them are silent ones.

Had one crybaby who played his vintage deck vs my noob Door to Nothingness deck, lost, and went all out before signing off. Double victory.

All in all, not an upgrade. Just different.

Thanks for the input!

I emailed the buyer guy Kyle, and he said they can accommodate the amount that I have. I think the "on hold" thing on the buylist was for bulk uncommons/commons through mail.

Either way, more Gen Con money = good.

I want to pick white for WoG and StP. I need help because I'm completely blanking out on 6th ed - 9th ed

Does white border include your General?
That's probably going to limit you to color combinations from chronicles and maybe P3K.

Going with the white border theme...you'll need a Ravages of War in there somewhere, so already this deck isn't cheap.

Your general is gonna have to come from P3K or Chronicles as well, most are pretty cheap($10-25ish range and less than a $1 for most Chronicles).

Here are some white boarded white cards off the top of my head....

6th Ed - Armageddon, Crusade, Enlightened Tutor, Exile, Order of the Sacred Torch,

7th Ed - Glorious Anthem, Intrepid Hero, Southern Paladin

8th Ed - Story Circle, Worship

9th - Blinding Angel, Gift of Estates, Marble Titan, Weathered Wayfarer

Battle Royal - Catastrophe, Land Tax

some are a bit situational, and do nothing otherwise...but some are really good

Enlightened Tutor, Armageddon, Ravages of War, Land Tax and Catastrophe are all a must if wanted a white plan so you could play STP and WOG.

Something important to keep in mind: If something is missing from one of these, there's a good reason. It's not that we just completely miss obvious things, but that we have the entire picture of Magic's future to work with and know where something is going to fit better. If you really want something to appear again, stay patient. If it's something that's realistically reprintable, there's a good chance you can expect to see it eventually. Even horsemanship got its day in From the Vault: Legends and Commander (2013 Edition).

Is that a roundabout way of explaining why FtV: Annhilation doesn't have Damnation?
...
Not that it has much of anything, really.

Has there ever been a reprint that expensive in commander? It doesn't seem likely to me unless they can find at least one $25+ card to stuff in every deck.

...I don't like that the decks offer such different value propositions when there's an imbalance like there is here. We'll be doing our best to maximize equality in fixed products going forward!
