Normally you need a creature to give your Time Walks buyback which is why nobody has ever done it before.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.

I've been experimenting with two different builds, with and without a street wraith / reanimate package. Here are where they both are presently:




This may just be a worse BUG delver, tarmogoyf overall is likely more reliable than death's shadow, but the games where you get to go to 1 and swing with a 24/12 trampler backed by force/flusterstorm are pretty exciting.

Maindeck reanimate is also funny against RBx reanimator decks that aren't expecting it and pass turn with a fatty in the yard.

Or do you just use a proxy and pull the real one out to verify you own it or what

You put it in a deck with 59 other cards, double or triple sleeved, and shuffle them together.

pretty much, but at that point you might as well buy an sp (or even mp) one and save some cash.

though you probably shouldn't buy one of those online, you'd want to see in person what exactly someone means by "slightly played"

They can be. I think I've paid my dues and I'm now at a studio that takes care of its devs, thank god.

This baby'll be double sleeved at all times, but it's definitely getting played. I shuffle very gently as it is, but i'll be extra careful now. :suicide:

Being at 1 with force backup does not seem terribly exciting unless you have 3UU up.

Organize by set, use the visualizer on dawnglare (http://mtg.dawnglare.com) and go through the sets to see if you have anything of value. Pull the valuable ones, anything over $1 note their condition and try to sell them here or online. All the other stuff just bunch together in a lot and sell for a flat rate which will be much less than what you paid for and you'll probably feel bad.
