What is the best way to buy singles without paying shipping 4 times? I need 4 pack rats, but no one has more than 1 or 2 on tcgplayer. I don't really want to be pinged for shipping two to four times.

I don't really have enough trade stuff to try trading on deckbox yet.

I PMd you.

I wouldn't call a $25 Judge foil "pretty cheap".

I would. $25 is nothing for how old the card is and how desirable it is for EDH.

If you're playing Magic and you feel like $25 is a significant amount to spend on a card you're only going to need one of, you may have chosen the wrong hobby.

But those are really for people who want to spend bank right? I'm talking for a player thats not going to bankroll a deck just to stomp plebs at FNM.

When discussing a card's merit, dollar value is not usually a consideration. We're talking overall card quality, not budget quality. Specter isn't even a true budget card anymore.

Googling a tiny bit, the name is "Conspiracy", and it uses the same cipher code that Cogwork Librarian did. So, this should be trivial to decode.

Unfortunately this isn't a simple exchange cipher. This is something more complicated than the first one was.

This was always counter intuitive to me... Lets say my opponent plays a Gary and I Hero's downfall it, shouldn't it's ETB ability take place as it has to be on the battlefield in order to be a valid target for the downfall?

Like everything else, that ability uses the stack, and responding to it means your ability or spell resolves first. The drain life ability will still trigger, but if there's nothing on the battlefield, you have no devotion to black to speak of.

Have they printed any new cards that aren't legal in legacy/vintage? Even cards that would do nothing (commander/planechase cards) are legal, because people just wouldn't use them.

Right, they would have to indicate on the card somehow that they aren't legal.

We might get thirteen silver bordered cards.

Right, but unless they're going to simply add 13 card names to the banned list for Legacy and Vintage, they're going to make those cards distinct in some way.

Maybe they're just going to add 13 card names to the banned lists.

Yeah, I think they'll just add them to the banned lists for Legacy and Vintage, because they didn't mention Commander at all; that means to me that they will be legal for EDH, so they can't have different borders.

Lame. I wanted this set to be like 1/5th Un-cards.

I know there are few people on here who are into miscut cards. Someone at my local game store bought a Born of the Gods intro deck and got an entire deck of miscuts. Some weren't super interesting, but these were among the better ones. It looks like they are from the very bottom of the sheet.



I love cards that are on the bottom of the sheet like that. Would you sell or trade them? Did you pick these up from him, or are they still his? I'd be interested in the entire deck, really, but mostly these two.

They aren't quite the best miscuts I've ever seen, but I think I may actually prefer them to the below miscut because they have the random data there instead of another card.

Is anyone here in the western PA area? Specifically, near Midland? I'm here for a week for training and I have absolutely nothing to do. If you're around here and want to meet up for whatever format (except vintage because I'm not THAT rich,) or food or whatever, I have nothing but free time after 3 PM. I don't mind a little drive, like half an hour or so, but I'm not super interested in driving halfway back to Pittsburgh. Email (my name @ Gmail) is probably the best way to get a hold of me but I can check the forums and PMs when I get back to my hotel room.

And if it wasn't obvious from the above, I live not too far from Pittsburgh (around 40 minutes northish) so if anyone is in that area, I'm always looking for people to play with on my occasional day off from life. I usually play at the Mills mall but sometimes I'm at Nice Guys.

I live in Baltimore. Come on down for a visit!

Yo judges, let me ask you a hypothetical question.

A card has the following text:

X cannot be countered.

If X would enter the battlefield and (insert some other condition here), instead X doesn't.

Would the game end at that point, since there's no way to clear the stack?

It would probably become exiled.

It's not just "some" retailers though. It's literally any retailer who does a lot of business in singles. Screwing over the people who sell your product to other people is a real bad way for WotC to stay in business.

This is a hugely faulty argument. SCG is probably the largest retailer and most likely to take a massive hit from high profile reprints; they support abolishing the reserve list.

Obviously, SCG has a lot of room to fall and still survive, but a Mom and Pop place won't have enough single stock to make this an issue. If they do, and they aren't selling them as quickly as they buy them, they're doing it wrong. A store should be cycling through their stock, not holding onto it.

I once saw a playset of identically-miscut Accumulated Knowledge for sale in a dealer's case for $600. Over 20% of the card was Seal of Fire. It was exactly the sort of thing that made me really glad I didn't have $600 to spend on wizard poker.

That's terribly overpriced for a card that doesn't see any play anymore, and when it was the nuts miscuts were still considered errors nobody wanted.

But yeah. Miscuts can get dumb. I have a $300-$500 Revised Plains and several $50 basics, nevermind the really crazy poo poo.
