If I'm looking to sell my modern cards, which event will probably have higher paying vendors? PTQ Philly at 6/7/2014 or GP Boston at 7/27/2014?

Gp will most likely have SCG and coolstuffinc and other heavy hitters. The ptq might be too early as there will not be results for people to jump on. But if you wait too long the prices will decline. I will be trying to dump stuff at ptq philly as well but from what I have seen, most prices are pretty stable of not already coming down.

LGS has the Modern Event Deck at $55. Worth it if the only thing I have from the deck is Lingering Souls?

Worth it. If you don't like the deck, keep the paths and inquisitions, sell the rest under TCGlow and you still profit.

$55 is a decent price for it.

no idea what he is saying, but pretty sure he is just pointing out the proxies all have the 1994-2013 dating, even the Sneak Attack and Misdirection had them

They are so shiny. In person i think they would be kind of obvious compared to a real card.It's Portugese, i am pretty sure he said the cards are from Brazil. I think he may be the creator and is selling them.

They look too obvious. Shiny as hell and look punched around the edges. The FOW were the easiest to tell.

Rift bolt seems to be in all the lists. More serious answer: I think Pulse of the Forge better for burn than any of the cards you suggested.

This. There are many more 1 and 2 drops to suffice. And 18 lands.

Is anyone playing deathrite shaman in their edh?Is a fetch heavy meta necessary for it to be worthy of including? It seems really weak for just grave hate.

DRS is not that hot in EDH. I'd go for something without a tap in the activation cost; scavenging ooze.

Meta decision. If you need 1 drop mana guy and fetches are relevant, then maybe.You also have Scavenging Ooze, Withered Wretch, Necrogensis

As acceleration, I agree that it would be far too unreliable. As graveyard hate, there are so many better options that will net more damage and can hit multiple things in a turn. I've never felt like he was needed in any of my decks. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

I was never a "shark", but I'd honestly prefer the days where people weren't so worried about losing value on a trade that they didn't waste everyones time and just traded. I feel like the days of trading for fun got replaced when the wall street mentality towards trading came in.

This. For a while I tried giving away value (my $1.10 for your $1), and people were still obsessed with matching the numbers up exactly. Buying and selling is so much less of a pain in the butt.

I used to do that, but I got tired of receiving played cards that people called NM. I'm not sure if there is an actual gold standard for conditions. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid. We don't like games. We don't know games. We can't read minds.

Forget about trading for fun. People don't even trade for cards that they need anymore. When a player needs a few cards to finish a deck...doesn't matter since there's a Tarmogoyf in the binder.quote: Originally posted by Sovarius: Meta decision.

That kinda how I'm feeling now. DRS is probably the best mana-dork but he's G/B and the decks that I want mana-dorks in aren't playing black. I've been wanting to use him in my 5-color lands deck, but I never tutor for him and haven't naturally drawn him in the games that I've played since his inclusion.
