I don't play standard constructed, so I do ok trading the cards I draft for things I need. I think I'll get the fetches pretty cheap trading rares I will never play for them. That's my super cheap magic strategy.

Hey goons, I want to get myself a decent folder that will last me a long time and presents my cards well and I just heard of the FOUR folder so you can show off playsets of cards in one page. Does anyone have one of these and know if they are any good or not? http://www.shop-021.de/GamesIsland-p2447h20s214-FOUR-Das-Playset-Alb.html this is the folder in question, it looks pretty good but expensive for what it is supposed to be, so I am a bit apprehensive.

Does anyone have one of these and know if they are any good or not? Are you needing to have a huge amount of cards to be in one binder? If not, this is actually more my cup of tea. http://sales.starcitygames.com/carddisplay.php?product=426147 These work well as a trade binder if you are the type that isn't throwing every bulk rare into your trade binder.

They're good quality (better than similar sized ultra pro folders I think) but I agree that they are a little expensive - they are functional if you want that kind of thing though.

Hi buying boxes is only worth it if you like, have a lot of sealed/draft to practice because you're a pro or want to be one.

If I'm buying a fat pack now, I will crack the packs. But buying a box, I'll just keep it until I'm drafting with friends. I can usually get enough of a pack high from FNMs because my LGS only does draft there.

They cost half as much as a whole box and you get a quarter of a box lol

I liked the lich a lot less until I realized you can Delve away your lovely creatures in the yard and leave him just serious business to work with.

The lich is pretty slow for what that deck wants to do (in my experience). It's also a delicate balance because he slowly kills your nighthowlers. But it seems like a sort of whip effect that would work in a more control-based and longer-game version of the BUG graveyard deck.

I'm specifically remembering keeping a whipped Obzedat around forever. Also, we're totally seeing that artifact morph creature a few more times before we leave Tarkir, etched oracle/champion/monstrosity style.

One can nicely fit two deck boxes, dice and counters, tokens and lands for drafts. Also more like third the price here for that quarter. Should really get around buying one, my Rise of the Eldrazi fat pack is starting to get pretty worn down.

Mardu and abzan both have a decent amount of constructed playable creatures for an aggro or midrange style deck. The other clans have neat stuff but not as much of it seems realistically playable in constructed.

At this point I've given up hope on the Temur khan. When they slow-roll the last card in a cycle like this, it's usually because it's tremendously disappointing. Interestingly, the website had the September 12th article by Sam Stoddard up there for a minute, but clicking on it led to a "You don't have permission to view this article" page.

Oh cool that's fine, my job is done."
