So for christmas im likeley asking for a playset of a certain card..ive considered Force of Will but im not a blue player at heart. i want Dark Confidant cuz i love bob, but i understand hes just not the best right now. what do you guys think? still worth asking for as my big gift?
It really depends on what you like to play, and what deck/archetype/format you're trying to build for.

IzexD the gate is a mono black strategy that uses lots of discard and big beaters like Abyssal Persecutor and Phyrexian Obliterator along with Gatekeeper of Malakir

Crazybop09 then if you are playing either a deck with Dark Confidant or a deck with Dark Confidant then why not get a playset of good old Bob?

Well if you're for sure planning on playing Black, then either Bob or Lili are good bets.

Thanks, and i think after the modern meta settles down with delver which it will when people realize how to approach it etc, good ole bob will be back as the the best creature printed.

Just get something on the reserved list, and trade it away when you figure out what you really want. I've heard that dual lands are pretty good.

I'd agree with TheHroth. But that's because of the art. If you want utility, I can't see turning down a playset of Lili or Bob. Just great additions to any collection.

That is quite a gift. Are you going for long term value, or something to play with now?

Crazybop09 says... #17
Probably long term value. and also something i could play with

If someone could find you every FTV set in an unopened box...that would be great value.
Unplayable if you want the value to stay, but it sounded like a good idea.
I think you'd be best off with some Modern/Legacy staples. Goyf, Lili, Jace, etc...

What is the budget you think that is attached to this gift?
December 11, 2014 12:47 p.m.
Scratch Goyf and Jace then. I dont think you can get a set of Jace that cheap, and Goyf maybe 2? Lol

actually TheHroth you can get a playset of jace on TCgplayer for $68 bucks each so thats roughly 230ish
December 11, 2014 1:04 p.m.
A set of heavily played ones, maybe. But those don't look nice.

What is your favorite format, or one that you are trying to get in?

I already play both legacy and modern, i favor legacy more, im tempted to build Miracles and ask for Force of Will and sub 4 Tundra for 4 Hallowed Fountain until i can get them.. not sure if thats the best idea O_O?

Although id prefer getting a modern staple that could be possibliy used for both formats.

Do the right thing, get 1 of each ktk fetch in foil and wait.

I decided on getting 4x Promo Foil Cryptic Command and 4x Bitterblossom
December 12, 2014 1:36 a.m.
Good choices. Can never go wrong with Cryptic Command. Just don't forget what all the modes are xD (#fullartpromoproblems)
