I don't even think Batterskull's interaction with SFM is all that broken.

It's broken when the competing creatures are 1-2 power and you can back it up with instants.

Modern isn't really either of those.

It's pretty broken. Besides no one uses it now so getting rid of it and unbanning SFM would be fine.

There's no reason to ban batterskull in Modern even if you unban stoneforge

The deck it hurts most is Twin and probably Burn, Jund laughs at it, Tron goes bigger, Affinity has Ravager to play around it, and Infect just kind of chuckles.

Kolaghan's Command wrecks Batterskull and kills the SFM too. It's not as big of a dealbreaker in Legacy due to Force/Daze and BR just not being that hot there.

If anything Stoneforge would do more for creature decks (which are kind of in a bad place right now unless they're Jund).

Chording for one at EoT sounds like a fun time.

Kolaghan's command is a major problem because most of the decks that Batterskull is meant to be good against have it.

I've decided with the new year that my MTGO days are done. I converted all my cards to tickets, but now I don't know what to do. Does anyone have experience selling tickets?

I have no idea what buyers are safe for this, but right now I leaning toward selling everything to GoatBots, since they feel fairly legit.

MTGO Traders will give you 95 cents per ticket (which doesn't count paypal fees). You send a message to a guy named "MTGO TRADERS" and he'll explain what to do and do the whole transaction. They basically just verify your paypal account (if you've ever bought stuff from them you don't need to do this) and then send the money. I've done it a few times, so I can convert tickets to cash in less than 10 minutes. I've done it 3 or 4 times (which should explain a lot about my willpower to stay away from MTGO, but I keep making big profits off of crazy spikes like K-Comm or Jace, so I have yet to lose money on MTGO).

GoatBots doesn't buy tickets in lots of less than 1000 unless they've changed their stance recently and they only send money by international bank transfers. They're also only selling at .90 per ticket right now.

If you're a new customer I think you have to buy the item on their website so that it sets up an account (it gets completely refunded, its just for verifying paypal info). If you're a repeat customer or whatever, they don't make you do this and you just directly PM the guy - I never had to do that because I had bought stuff from their site before (they sell singles at a slight discount and that guy was the person who delivered it).
