I certainly do regret making the JC thread sometimes fluffybunnypants.

Randomly dropped into this thread like... right after I was mentioned without being tagged.
Is this fate or do I have some undiscovered power?
But yea I'm currently number 8 and dropping. Was number 5 not long ago. 4 quite long ago. My activity has waned a little bit, plus the next generation of top users is upcoming. I'll likely be out of top 10 within a few weeks.

so guys, I just got a thing in the mail.
I had ordered 2 re-packs that each contain 5-6 cards each, 3 of which are foils, and 2-3 are mythics or just rares.
the reason I'm so excited is b/c is almost ALL from alara to zendikar era.

Basically, the user wants me to write his/her trade story so it can be submitted effectively anonymously.

I'm super stoked because I just got a trade for a Marsh Flats and it's the last proxy I have in my Kaalia deck :)
Now on to the ABUR duals....pretty sure I'm gonna have to buy those though, nobody really likes to trade those down.

I'd love to read that epoch.
Tibs: luckily 2 out of 3 of our duals can be found for about 50$ bucks apiece. Its the rw one that'll get you.

You know, the thought crossed my mind when I was going to attempt to do an article when I did P2P to have you or another admin post my updates so that I would have stayed anonymous. In the end, I figured that the use of certain language would give it away, but I never really considered asking you to write it from notes I could have provided. Pretty smart. Very intriguing.

....
not too happy...
I got the cards, but here's what I got
Ash Zealot, Charnelhoard Wurm, Supreme Verdict, Silence, Fiendslayer Paladin, Mercurial Chemister, and the foils were Blood Reckoning, Bloodfray Giant, Reach of Branches, Instill Infection, Loxodon Wayfarer, and Neurok Invisimancer
not great for edh...

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #15
yeah, but I only have 1 deck it can go in, and that deck already has one

I normally wouldn't invest too much time in something like this, but the idea was interesting and it's a side that doesn't really get told in the community. I'm expecting... mixed responses.

Vamp: fuckin Boros, Sacred Foundry is expensive af (in context of the other shocks). All the Boros cards are the most expensive parts of my deck lol

Epochalyptik says... #20
Whenever it's ready. I imagine this one will be fairly long so it can tell the whole story, and I need to work with the other individual to get the message right.
May 6, 2015 7:25 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #24
Blame blue. If it wasn't blue splashing red white all the time it's be affordable though foundry is heavily used in naya and burn soooo there's that. I traded off all my blue shocks for mardu shocks and happily now sit on a set of each. Now if only i could grab the fetches...Damn binder killing my mires :c

fluffybunnypants says... #25
I'm assuming the calculation is actually incorrect and you probably have a metric fuckton of foils.

Wow sorry for being a poor high schooler lol we can't all be rich
May 6, 2015 7:30 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #27
I have a foil garden though. Still open to trade it down for a set of normal ones. <3
May 6, 2015 7:31 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #28
fuckin blue
All my friends are telling me dude you should play blue and I'm thinking it's hard enough playing the least expensive colors, I'd rather not drop $500 on the lands, thanks.

GoldGhost012 says... #29
I should spend some of me money instead of letting it just... sit. Literally sit in a little pouch that used to contain my flash drive and I was carrying around with me the whole year in my backpack.

Didgeridooda says... #30
That does seem interesting Epoch.
On the subject of rank, I think I am down to 16 now. Was 13 for a bit. That is all I remember. You get over taken fast when you are busy for reals.
May 6, 2015 7:34 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #31
I've been sitting at 35 for the last couple months. Don't really give enough deck help to boost my rank lol.
May 6, 2015 7:35 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #32
I just realized that I went up like 8 ranks in two days...
May 6, 2015 7:37 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #33
@fluffybunnypants: The actual deck sits somewhere around $4,600 or so +/- $50. There are a ton of foils, alters, and foreigns in the deck.
May 6, 2015 7:38 p.m.
fluffybunnypants says... #34
Well, Imperial Seal still nearly accounts for 1/6th of its total cost, so, yeah.
May 6, 2015 7:40 p.m.
Isn't the red white dual land like, the least expensive by far? It's like 50. Everything else is 80-350
May 6, 2015 7:44 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #39
kyuuri117 no, red black and black white are cheaper. Plateau is like $70ish, last time I checked. Scrubland is about $65 and Badlands $55ish, I think.
May 6, 2015 7:46 p.m.
Badlands are 75, scrubland is 75, and plateau is 60. That's tcg mid.
May 6, 2015 7:49 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #42
I forget about that.
Yah know, the good thing about playing Duel Commander is that all the super expensive tutors and mana ramp is banned, so I don't have to worry about buying it.
Also since when was Plateau $55???
May 6, 2015 7:49 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #43
my whole life is a lie
why is it so much cheaper tho

Literally nothing in legacy/vintage use them sans goblins if they splash for Thalia.
May 6, 2015 7:55 p.m.
Because Red/White is the most useless color combination in legacy. If you are playing Jeskai Delver (which would be odd) or Jeskai Stoneblade, you only have 1 out of like, 7-8 duals. Red/Blue and White/Blue take preference. They might not even bother to run any. Very few other decks run red/white as a main color.

Couple badlands were going for around 35 on ebay the other day. My brother needs one, so we was looking. I wish I had more then one dual.
May 6, 2015 7:58 p.m.
I've been sitting at ~75 for a few weeks now. Probably should stop hanging here and go back to helping people. I used to get in like 20 good card recommendations a day.
Epochalyptik says... #1
So I've been approached with an interesting article idea. Let's see how this pans out.
