I was going to make the trek to 40 duals, and I'll make my way to the full fetches when they reprint the fetches. I gave up on 40 duals, because I'm cheap and can't justify $100 on paper I rarely use, if at all. I'll just conclude my set of 36, or 32 if I just decide to for go the Plateaus.
Also, the new Ajani has one of the dumbest ultimates I have seen on a planeswalker.
What connotation of "dumb" I mean, I leave to the reader of this post to determine.

I wish the new Ajani was one mana cheaper. Might be great in Maverick.
I'm not sure he would be better than Garruk Relentless, since Maverick plays a fair number of 1-ofs and would rather tutor than Impulse, but I do see where you are coming from.

New Ajani digs for Felidar Sovereign, pumps it for more lifelink, and gets you to winning amounts of life if you can't get there by attacking.
It's cat-tastic!
It'll go in my silly cat deck, but I can't take him seriously. However, I'm fine with planeswalkers that are not great, and therefore actually acquirable.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
Where does someone get the gall to ask a trader for a 10% premium on trading Standard for Standard? Standard Rares from the same block and price range.
I feel ya, but honestly nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to trading. Somebody asked me if I was interested in 'trading up' for a standard chase mythic with reserved-list cards. And 'trading up' to a Liliana with taiga's. Um
On a side note, finally got my whiskey orders in the mail! Time to get my drink on

His response surprised me. "Okay, I'm not interested in paying money to swap cardboard with you if it isn't completing a deck or something. Cheers."
The cards I wanted were Temple of Malice, Courser of Kruphix, and two Chandras and he wanted a bunch of Standard like Temples. I guess telling him I was not interested in him profiting off me warranted that response?
Welp, closing up my trade list for awhile. Trying to cut my household budget down as much as possible (may be moving soon, etc etc) so I figured I don't need much of anything at the moment and it was a good time for a break. The new system also makes it remarkably easy to close and reopen which is very nice.
I have to admit that the new Ajani made me do a double take, and then I chuckled a bit. It is pretty bombastic to have anything gain a player 100 life, though it will in all likelihood never work. I like the blue Mystic, I think there is something there but I would have to play with it to really see.

On the bright side you can still return it or any repairs is still covered with warranty. My laptop broke down 1 month before warranty expired and after getting it fixed, never had a problem with it for 5 years. Lots of gaming on that machine (D2 if you're wondering)... good times.
I don't know how I'd feel about having a postman who plays mtg...esp if I'm doing a lotta sending and receiving. Just saying!
@krimsonviper: Just wait a few years (if not already) and inevitably somebody who has played will become a politician...
But I am getting pretty close to 40 duals / 40 fetches.
Just need 8 fetches and 10 duals, I believe.

Have played duals? I have PucaPoints for them!
