Very nice. That is one of those cards that I have always wanted. You got a place for it already?

Yeah Didgeridooda, I can sleeve it up in half finished Prossh for now, but I'm aiming to finish Nath Stax all swagged up on the first shot, so I have some foils coming in and am looking to buy foils on the first go. Even the cradle I bought was German.

trollslayer, I play Pathfinder, if that's close enough. O-O
I have also played D&D, but mostly PF. The easiest way to sum up how often and how much I have played is: extensively.

So, just traded in a ton of stuff I wasn't using. It amounts to about 600$.
What do I get? Cradle and some goyfs? Ports for legacy D&T?
August 25, 2016 7:35 a.m.
EpicFreddi says... #10
cradle and ports would be the best investment. gyofs will most likely be in MM17 and drop down again.
August 25, 2016 7:42 a.m.
Ohthenoises says... #11
Well the legacy metagame is literally dead here so I think I'll start with a cradle for commander and then move on from there. Hell, maybe I'll get a candelabra haha

Coinman1863 says... #12
Get all the reserved list things you can, Cradle is a good start, and candle is only for storm decks, so you don't see both of those cards in the same deck normally. What kind of EDH deck are you looking for? I can help make card purchase suggestions from there.
August 25, 2016 7:52 a.m.
Ohthenoises says... #13
I'd need candle for Azami. It has a high tide package.
Cradle is for my yisan.
I know what they are for just not if I for sure want to get stuff lol.
August 25, 2016 8:25 a.m.
EpicFreddi says... #14
Cradle was the best investment I had in a long time. I bought it for 90Euro 4 months ago. Now it's on ~150 Euro.
August 25, 2016 9:40 a.m.
I would get Cradle and Ports cards that are very likely to remain stable in price
August 25, 2016 12:18 p.m.
@Coinman1863 - candle's actually used quite a bit at high-level EDH.
August 25, 2016 12:35 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #17
TheDevicer Have you looked at half of my EDH decks on file lately? Almost all of them are competitive decks. But That's why I said storm for candle, since High Tide Usually falls under storm/is is storm decks (Mucktide has been gaining some gas recently, can't wait to see where it goes).
August 25, 2016 2:36 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #18
Azami isn't a storm deck it just runs high tide and lens as a way to push out the pieces faster.

Not to sound like a dick or anything, but I barely recognized your username (not being upgraded doesn't help). I have no idea what you play or what level of expertise you have concerning various formats. I just directed that at you without knowing anything about you. I don't spend nearly as much time on TO now that I used to and I've never been big on visiting people's decks or profiles.
August 25, 2016 3:05 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #20
TheDevicer I understand, I barely look at deck profiles either, nor do I know how much people play. I'm sorry if I sounded offputtish, but on the Discord Chat and in other places it's what I'm known for in EDH, so I was kinda confused when someone didn't know that about me.
August 25, 2016 3:48 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #21
So I think I know what I want to get with my money.
Null Rod
Mox Diamond
Sphere of Resistance
Thorn of Amethyst
Trinisphere
Ancient Tomb
Gaea's Cradle
MAYBE a new art top.
Thoughts? This is mostly to flush out a Yisan deck that is in the "competicasual" stage currently.
August 25, 2016 5:27 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #25
Anyways, ignoring the top, thoughts on the rest? Obviously going for more of a stax-y Yisan.
Similar to ShaperSavant's list

New top > old top. New mystic and enlightened tutor > old. I'll fite all of you.
And Ohthenoises, you can get a mod play Timetwister for $600 at an scg open or Grand Prix. That's what I did two months ago.
Got a LP twister for $600 (guy gave me a good deal since it was mismarked and he honored it cuz he's good friends with a friend of mine who was there with me), a candle for $300, and an abyss for $200 for some edh decks. Traded in a bunch of cards and only had to pay $50 cash for the lot of em. Love trading in random $5-30 dollar cards for stuff at SCG opens.
August 25, 2016 6:38 p.m. Edited.
I mean, those are good cards. I don't know what else to say. You're not going to be terribly off getting them, esp since you'll be using them.
August 25, 2016 8:02 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #28
Difference of opinion. I like the old top art much better. Sadly I don't own any because I can never find one for trade.
August 25, 2016 8:06 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #29
As much as I'd love a twister there's no way I'm gonna pay 6 bills for a single card.
Also, this is all store credit for my LGS. I know for a fact they have most of what I'm looking for. (Specifically cradle and diamond)
August 25, 2016 8:11 p.m.
I like old top because that's how top looks like to me. I adore the carvings on the base of the top and the symmetry in the background. The old version also looks more like a top to me.
The old one is just iconic. Especially if you like altering cards, since pretty much every good artist has done top at some point. I'm also not a huge fan of the more wooshie wooshie digital artwork that WoTC has been putting out recently.

For all artifacts, I either go Mono-Brown or the oldest version. I personally don't like the new border and the foil stamp is so... ew.

Good morning from germany. Raise your hands if it's already 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) in your country.
August 27, 2016 5:48 a.m.
I live an hour north of Miami in Florida. It's still morning and we're near a tropical disturbance, so we're getting lots of rain and clouds atm. It's still something like 85 degrees.

It's almost 40C here in the south of France... I'm dying .-.

I'm currently working and we have a huge parking lot infront of the store. On there it's 47 degrees. By the gods, that's how you feel when you play against monored.

I guess it's a perfect time not to go out and try to ctach up on what happened with the Sombra ARG, that's some pretty dense shit. x)

@TheFoilAjani shit man, I feel sorry for your summers. I'm sitting here in sunnyvale CA where its managing to be cloudy even while at 10 am :)

So hot here too. I took the kids to the splash pad early, but still suffered.

A garbage truck caught on fire in my town apparently. Looks like the heat wave is hitting hard.

Something just occurred to me, could all of Innistrad lore right now basically boil down to Girls Gone Wild?

Hahaha what? The only females not insane in the the whole plane are Arlin kord, tamiyo, and sigarda
