86 Rares/Mythics I'm a newbie, BEWARE!
The Trading Post forum
Posted on Jan. 2, 2013, 9:19 p.m. by veladem
I have no intention of robbing someone for any card/s that they have. And I hope, as it would seem since I read that no one has been blocked from this site, that no one on here wants that same.
TAKE THAT STATEMENT IN NO WAY THAT I TRUST YOU! YOU ALSO SHOULDN'T TRUST ME!
However, as much as I contradict myself in this post, I will state again that I have no intent to scam anyone.
Therefore, I will not "ship", "mail", or in anyway "send" any cards to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Not even three blocks away.
Finally, If you wish to trade with me we can converse through this site, (Though I don't have really anything good . . .) And we can then meet if you are willing. We all bring are biggest baddest friends so we feel good and safe, we make sure each others cards a legitimate. Than, we're done, and we're both happy with the trade.
I live in the greater Sacramento Area of California USA.
Thanks, Paul A.K.A. veladem (On all sites I use the same nick/handle)

Also, if you're unwilling to ship cards out to anyone, you're going to have one hell of a time getting anything accomplished. This community stretches across the world, and it's going to be very difficult for you to find a trader if you're only willing to trade in person.
January 2, 2013 9:31 p.m.
:/
True. But really, I wont jack anyone, I'm just trying to jump into the newer cards. Built a modern deck and all. And as I said, I'll sit and play some games with people.
There isn't anyway to prove that I'm trust worthy until someone tries to trust me. And, if I did scam someone, than I wouldn't be trusted here anymore huh?
Anyway, my user name is always veladem check it anywhere, PSN, XBOX Live, Steam, XDA Forums, XDA iPhone, and many others.
And hey, if anyone here has Cockatrice, lets play a few games that way, I'm down. Try to only use cards you have though, makes it more fun.
January 2, 2013 10:08 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #5
The thing is, it doesn't matter if you can prove yourself trustworthy if you aren't going to trade with anyone online. Are you insisting that you only trade in person, or will you do mail trades?
Your reputation on PSN, XBL, Steam, etc. has nothing to do with your trade reputation on a Magic website.
January 2, 2013 10:14 p.m.
Eh . . . I might do Mail trades just to get some new cards without spending cash on cards. Just bought a deck for like $70 and it's a modern deck just to play with friends. But sure, I could do trades via mail.

I wrote a basic article about online trading. You should read it and see if it's something you want to get into. It's very rewarding purely because it gives you access to an astounding array of cards that you'd be unable to trade for locally. I can offer help along the way if it's something you think you'd like to pursue.
January 2, 2013 10:38 p.m.
My binder is fairly setup, minus the description, as I said, I have only like 86 rares/mythics. However I have friends that may want me to help them out as well. But, alas, no one can see my binder cause of the 60 day rule . . . All good, I can wait. I'll just buy cards for now.
January 2, 2013 11:05 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #9
You could try to get an early authorization for your binder if you're interested in trading now.
Also, if you want to buy cards, I sell singles and product from my binder. Contact me if you see anything you want; it would be a way to get your foot in the door of the trading community here.
January 2, 2013 11:38 p.m.
I like your card list, but, the rares that I want aren't in there . . . However, maybe you have some of the common/uncommon cards I had listed, I'll list them again. I looked through my cards and found a couple.
Cards you may have laying collecting dust . . .
1 Rakdos Shred-Freak 3 Brimstone Volley 2 Searing Spear 2 Pillar of Flame 4 Traitorous Blood 2 Rewind 1 Izzet Charm
$8.35
Cards I didn't see . . .
2 Counterflux 3 Snapcaster Mage 4 Vexing Devil 3 Skaab Ruinator 4 Misthollow Griffin 4 Steam Vents 4 Sulfur Falls
$184.90 + 5.86 = $190.76
If you don't have some of the rares, than I can grab something else out of your collection of haves tip tip the scale your way as to make it worth your while.
January 3, 2013 1:05 a.m.
If you do want to do mail trade, I'd be able to trade you whatever and however many Korean lands from RtR that you want. I would be able to trade you most recent (from Innistrad forward) commons and uncommons, and some rares, in Korean, too.
January 3, 2013 1:30 a.m.
KevinLS can you link to which ones, link to any of the know good or alright sites, Troll and Toad, ABUGames, Channel Fireball, Amazon, Etc. I prefer no E-Bay links. Thanks.
January 3, 2013 1:36 a.m.
Oh and Epochalyptik I'm about to buy a bunch of the lower end cards on Troll and Toad.
All needed Brimstone Volley All needed Counterflux All needed Izzet Charm All needed Pillar of Flame All needed Rakdos Shred-Freak All needed Rewind All needed Searing Spear All needed Traitorous Blood and 2x Misthollow Griffin
January 3, 2013 1:50 a.m.
Sorry, veladem, I don't understand what you're saying. You can see my trade binder for a mostly accurate list of rares. I've been slacking recently a bit. If it's a land, common, or uncommon from RtR, I have it. If it's from a Standard set, I probably have it. I'm offering to trade you, particularly if you want Korean cards. I have 3x Vexing Devil s (English), btw. If you're really inclined, I have Korean foil Rewind (m13).
January 3, 2013 2:10 a.m.
Okay, well sounds like we just need to set up what and how many and such. What of my cards would you like?
AND YES, VEXING'S, as stupid as that sounds I really need those . . .
January 3, 2013 2:23 a.m.
I have a good idea of what I want and can never have, you open with wants though. Just looked at most of the binder.
January 3, 2013 2:41 a.m.
Overgrown Tomb and Baneslayer Angel would be my top wants from your cards. I'd also be interested in Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas , Avacyn, Angel of Hope , Darksteel Juggernaut , Drowned Catacomb , Magosi, the Waterveil , Nim Deathmantle , and Phyrexian Ingester .
January 3, 2013 2:56 a.m.
What set is the Steam Vents ? And is the overall condition of the cards at least M-NM like mine? Funny story, I just cracked Overgrown Tomb Today XD
January 3, 2013 3:12 a.m.
Epochalyptik says... #20
I have a Steam Vents (RTR, SP), and another user is currently making an offer for my 2x Snapcaster Mage .
January 3, 2013 3:17 a.m.
I know, and I really need 4 Steam Vents and 3 Snapcaster Mage s. But, his is a foreign and I'm weak to that and foils . . . :/ If you had more cards that I needed I would be opening a trade with you. But, don't get me wrong, I will still want to buy some of yours if you still have some I need. I placed a order at Troll and Toad for most of the smaller cards I needed. I'm making a second deck currently.
Trying to make this so I can get into standard. At this rate I hope I'll have it soon.
Deck: deck:crash-burn
4 Rakdos Shred-Freak 3 Brimstone Volley 2 Thunderous Wrath 3 Searing Spear 7 Mountain 2 Pillar of Flame 7 Island 4 Traitorous Blood 4 Steam Vents 4 Sulfur Falls 3 Skaab Ruinator 4 Misthollow Griffin 2 Rewind 2 Izzet Charm 2 Counterflux 3 Snapcaster Mage 4 Vexing Devil
It playtests well, but I need to tweak it a bit, even drop some cards like Misthollow Griffin Maybe get a Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius in there . . . I don't know.
January 3, 2013 3:28 a.m.
@KevinLS A list of cards that I want, not necessarily the cards that will be traded, but, what I would like to get somehow that you have or most likely have.
Trade list:
3X Vexing Devil 1X Korean Steam Vents 1X Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius 1X Korean Vesuva 1X Korean Foil Rewind
Want list:
2X Korean Rakdos Shred-Freak 2X Korean Misthollow Griffin 1X Korean Brimstone Volley 1X Korean Counterflux 1X Korean Izzet Charm 1X Korean Rewind 1X Korean Thunderous Wrath 1X Korean Pillar of Flame 2X Korean Traitorous Blood
Let me know on the want list. I'm going to bed lol, it's 1:53am . . .
January 3, 2013 4:54 a.m.
I keep my cards well, all of these are NM. I'll let you know if a card isn't, but I think essentially everything I have in the standard format is NM.
Steam Vents is just kinda too cheap for me to be trading away at the moment, sorry.
Going by mid-prices, Vexing Devil s are about 7 (x3), Baneslayer Angel 9, and Overgrown Tomb 10. That's a couple bucks off. Darksteel Juggernaut , Drowned Catacomb , Magosi, the Waterveil , Nim Deathmantle , and Phyrexian Ingester combined are less than 5, I think. So to make up the 2.5-3ish, on my end, how about as many RtR Mountain s and Island s as you need for that deck?
If you're looking for more pimping for your deck, I have English foil Pillar of Flame and Korean foil Rewind . I should have the Izzet Charm s in Korean, too. And I think the Thunderous Wrath s. I'll need to check.
January 3, 2013 6:23 a.m.
@ KevinLS So you can't trade away the Korean Steam Vents ? If not that's fine. And I only really need 7X Korean Island and 7X Korean Mountain . And yes I'm trying to make my deck look cool and also to mess with my friends heads, (It's nice when your friends look at a card you play and they know what it does, but, they can't read it XD) And as much as I'd like to have the Foreign Foils, it isn't a need, just a Foreign Non-foil would be fine.
Also remember you're getting the 1X Avacyn, Angel of Hope and 1X Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
Let me know how many I can get to finish this deck.
Also how much is Korean Izzet Charm vs Foreign English Izzet Charm in Korea?
January 3, 2013 4:47 p.m.
@ KevinLS I'm leaving either today or tomorrow to go over to my friends, Friday I'm hitting FNM with him, than on the 7th I'm going to work on a Safeway with his dad and him. So, we might need to jump back into this trade when I get back :/ I however have your cards set aside in my binder (In real life) so I wont end up trading them at FNM or to my friends. I'm going to be on my PC most of today, but, if I go dark and you don't here from me you know why.
Though, I may be able to get on here from my smart dumb phone? It's a really old phone . . .
January 3, 2013 5:12 p.m.
ah, I didn't see this went to two pages, so I missed your message at the top of the page. Just to clear something up, not every card I have is Korean. I've tried to point out some of the notables in my binder page description, but I generally have to look in my physical binder to know. When possible, I play limited events in English, just for the convenience of being able to quickly read the cards. But most new packs I open are Korean.
So for example, as far as I know, Vesuva was never printed in Korean. I use my Vesuva s for EDH, so I'm not intending to trade them. I hope you don't think I'm teasing by keeping cards in my binder that I don't actually wanna trade. But a few times I've had cards there I'm not thinking of trading, but someone offers a card:Gaea's Cradle or something too awesome to pass up, and suddenly they're available.
so from the want list a few messages up, I'm pretty sure I have -- 2X Korean Rakdos Shred-Freak 1X Korean Counterflux 1X Korean Izzet Charm 1X Korean Rewind 1X Korean Thunderous Wrath
1X Korean Brimstone Volley and 1X Korean Pillar of Flame , I helped a friend switch his Rakdos Aggro/Burn to Korean recently, so I'm not sure that I still have. Probably not the Volley, maybe the Pillar.
2X Korean Traitorous Blood , probably have, but need to check that I have two in Korean.
I have mercifully never opened Misthollow Griffin , so don't have any.
After digging out the cards, I'll let you know definitely.
Avacyn, Angel of Hope is 10 and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas is 8. I didn't realize Tezzy was that much, and I don't immediately have a deck for him, so if we don't get up to that much, that's fine.
January 3, 2013 7:19 p.m.
Okay, so the want list on my side is (Revised list)
3X English Vexing Devil
1X Korean Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius
1X Korean Foil Rewind
2X Korean Rakdos Shred-Freak
1X Korean Counterflux
1X Korean Izzet Charm
Not really needed if I can just get the foil. --> 1X Korean Rewind
1X Korean Thunderous Wrath
7X Korean Don't really mind what art, as long as it is multiple of the same Island
7X Korean Don't really mind what art, as long as it is multiple of the same Mountain
I would prefer RtR lands, but it doesn't matter, just as long as I get 4 and 3 of 7 the same
Example:
3X Korean Island 333
4X Korean Island 331
Or
7X Korean Island 332
As I said though, I don't mind the artwork, as long as there are duplicates
Ones you need to check for . . .
1X Korean Brimstone Volley
1X Korean Pillar of Flame
2X Korean Traitorous Blood
And the thus far elusive 2X Korean Misthollow Griffin
Let me know on the cards you can or can't find.
And PS: I have no idea the worth of most of the cards you have, sites are up and down on the various prices. So really, I don't even care about pricing, as much as I care about what we both think is fair trade. I just want to finish a deck for Standard Format with foreign cards heavily mixed in. Lol.
January 3, 2013 8:07 p.m.
Oh and these are the cards when I looked them up
1X Mirrodin Besieged Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas $8.99
1X Magic 2011 Baneslayer Angel $11.99
1X Avacyn Restored Avacyn, Angel of Hope $11.99
1X Scars of Mirrodin Darksteel Juggernaut $0.49
1X New Phyrexia Phyrexian Ingester $0.49
1X Scars of Mirrodin Nim Deathmantle $0.49
1X RtR Overgrown Tomb $11.99
1X Magic 2013 Drowned Catacomb $4.39
1X Zendikar Magosi, the Waterveil $0.49
Total = $51.31
And those prices are from multiple sites, ABUGames, ChannelFireball, Troll and Toad, StarCityGames, and Amazon.
Should be about the same price on both ends? Check but I think it is.
If not I'll throw a couple bucks in on my side, if it's your side, than don't worry about it if it isn't over like $5
Or you could throw in a few more lands if it is on your side to even it.

About to update my wants on this page as well, please, I'd like to get some cards so I can get my standard deck running.

Bumping doesn't really do anything on this site.
I still have 2x Snapcaster Mage , 1x Steam Vents , and all of the ZEN lands you're looking for.
January 5, 2013 9:09 p.m.
@ Epochalyptik 0.o I would love those cards! But I'm broke trying just to pay for college and rent right now . . . However, I have all that stuffs to trade. I'm in the progress of negotiating with KevinLS and just sent cards to Fleetfiend Cause I have a low rating I sent first :/ Oh well, gotta start somewhere . . . Plus I really really badly want to finish these decks.
January 5, 2013 9:14 p.m.
I have some of the red cards you want, Pillar of Flame , Searing Spear , Brimstone Volley , I also have Sleep and Downpour . I'm afraid they're all UK cards though and I think you're looking for foreign ones?
January 5, 2013 9:18 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #39
You don't seem to have anything I want. If your position changes and you're able to buy something, notify me by tagging me in a post or posting directly on my wall (I prefer the latter).
January 5, 2013 9:24 p.m.
English cards are okay as well, and on page two is the updated cards I want. I've been able to hit my locale A-1 and get a few from trades so I'm always updating the cards I want. I also bought a few off various sites.
Let me know if you want any of the cards on the updated list, and if you have any on the updated wanted list.
Thanks!
January 5, 2013 9:25 p.m.
@ Epochalyptik I'll let you know cause I plan to pre-order a gatecrash box and to trade most of it away.
January 5, 2013 9:27 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #42
In that case, I'm looking for foils of GTC Breeding Pool and GTC Watery Grave .
January 5, 2013 9:30 p.m.
Oh sorry, i didn't realise you had updated, I just read the main post at the top. In that case I don't have anything you want :(
January 5, 2013 9:30 p.m.
@ ChiefBell No problem, thanks for looking though :D
@ Epochalyptik I would like to weigh the packs to get foils but that's cheating :P But yes, I'll let you know what I get, I just wish my trade binder was opened up :/
Epochalyptik says... #2
Your focus on claiming you aren't here to scam anyone actually makes you more suspect, but that's beside the point.
Usually, users don't get into our trade community until they've been here a few months. Exceptions have been made, but you'll need to prove yourself reputable.
