I just listed the available options from MKM.I used to play from Urza's Block until Kamigawa, which made me quit, when I was 16-17 years old IIRC. The bulk of my cards are from Onslaught until Kamigawa. So, for the time being I am between KTK and RTR. Since I didn't play when RTR was out I'm thinking to crack one box. I might get some duals for my edh decks, who knows.
Seems reasonable. RTR was a great set, has a ton of useful cards for both Modern and EDH, and was a real blast to play. Can't really go wrong with it (since you have experienced Scourge once, no need to reiterate).
Thanks for your input,I really appreciate it I'll post my result the following weeks
And we'd love to hear how it goes. Not just what you open, but also how cool it feels.
Does anyone know why Beta Volcanic Island lacks the two white points on the lower corner of the card frame, while Beta Taiga and Underground Sea have them?

These days, some wizards are finding they have a little too much deck left at the end of their $$$.

It may be because it was specially added to the sheet? It was one of the cards that was inadvertently left out of Alpha.

After almost a month of wait my free RTR booster box arrived. It was fun to crack cards, like the old times, and play a little with friends. I must admit I am a little disappointed that I didn't get not even one land or Abrupt Decay. At least I got two Chromatic Lanterns (one of them foil) for my EDH decks. I also don't need to buy Niv Mizzet for an Izzet EDH deck that I'm planning to build

Glad that you had fun. Foil Chromatic Lantern is a good card to have.

Agreed, that thing is only going to go up and up and up.
If it's not reprinted at any point, it could easily be a $100 card in a few years (the foil, that is, not the ordinary one.... still...)

Even if it does get a reprint, that's the first foil printing. That foil will always be highly desired (until it's a judge promo, but even then it'll still rock).

Just popping in to mention that I played at GPDC, 0-3 drop...lol. Won some games, never could close a match. We had a bit of a rough pool, basically 0 bombs and not really any good removal. I played BW Allies which felt great, the creatures were excellent but lack of great removal made things challenging. Our second deck was RB Eldrazi Aggro and the third was RGc Beatz and was probably the weakest deck. Unfortunately I think we wasted all of our luck on our practice pool Friday night. In that pool we had a mono white allies deck with tons of removal including 3x Isolation Zone and a Quarantine Field from what I remember, and a super solid UB Eldrazi Aggro build. Oh well, had fun either way, got to get some more Terese Nielsen signatures among others, and bought some prints from her. Traded some cards in with SCG and I am only 5 cards from having Modern Merfolk finished. All and all it was great, loved playing with my team even if things didn't go according to plan...lol

I wish I could've stayed for Saturday. I swung in on Friday to meet the artists and make some trades, but then family events happened and I couldn't come back - I only made three trades the entire day (although the third one was pretty epic). Would've liked to have come back for a draft or a sealed, and maybe some more trading.

I came across a FtV:20 in a LGS which is kinda obsolete and does not bring lots of new stuff. He sells it for 80 euros (apprx 90 USD). I checked it on MCM and its prices start from the same range, but I'll have to pay shipping fees as well. From what I know the real money card is the broken Jace. I can sure use most of the cards in it but does it worth the money in the long term? Of course I don't plan to keep it sealed Any thoughts?
Edit: I also have FtV:Annihilation and Angels (I was on a break when the older ones were out) and I kinda enjoyed the product. Especially since I always get them in MSRP

So, you should probably be asking these questions in the buy/sell thread. This thread is more for "Hey, what's up in real life with folks?" and stuff like that.
That said, 80 Euro for FTV20 is a good deal. Next to Jace the Wallet Sculptor the rest of the set looks like chaff, but there are actually really good cards in there (like STP, Hymn, some EDH mana rocks, Venser, etc). I'd definitely buy that.

Yes indeed, wrong thread to ask, sorry!
Thanks for the suggestion, although I hear my wallet wail in sorrow, with SOI and Eternal masters approaching.
How on earth has this thread dropped so far. Hopefully I can breath a dash of life into this again. I just finalized yeasterday a pretty epic trade including 5 Unlimited P9 pieces and one beta P9. Almost felt like it was back to 2004, when I used to do this bit more often.
As some background I was asked to help a local player to sell his Unlimited set so I had lot of nice cards, but lot of them are really hard to move, unless they are in great condition. Another friend, who runs a gaming store has quetly been collecting 2x Unlimited set, he wants to have for his retirement to play with his brother (yep, so as long as condition is similar betwen the two copies he's happy... Store owners can be awesome), so knowing he needed some help to finalize his sets I traded him 19 Unlimited rares, including Timber Wolves, Web, Blaze of Glory and some actually chase cards like Time Walk, Mox Jet and Pearl, Fork, Disk, Armageddon, Lich etc. along with random Unl rares to the few extra pieces of power he has been saving since the last millenium for just these purposes.
So I walked away with an extra Mox Saphire, Mox Emerald and a very nice beta Twister and managed to move about 10 rares that I propably would have had to wait for ages to find a buyer for. My trading partner got to just five cards away from his target and I got some cards I can sell much faster, so the owner of the set should be pretty happy too. While the trade was pretty even, I gained about 200 worth of actually saleable product and have to do less work to reach the owners target in value of sales.
The best part was, while we didn't have Magic players around, there was an older lady buying some board games, who listened about our trade talks. When we started talking about actual prices, her expression was priceless. We actually ended up joking that she might end up jumping us and grapping the collections, as there was more money on the table than her pension is in a year (With almost three full Unlimited sets).
Opinion time... foiling out Death and Taxes. Judge SoFaI or Darksteel? I'm leaning towards darksteel since it'll match frames with the other equips.
If you are someone that particularly prefers to have everything match, and whom it annoys when things don't, then I would go with the darksteel version for sure. If you are someone who has been playing for ages and enjoys the old school goodness of the old old border version that if I recall correctly the judge version has, then I would go for that version. Its all a matter of your preference.
Personally I'm a fan of the old old school border and would jump all over the judge version if given a choice, but that's just me :).

I currently have a judge version in the deck... but it's the one that normally stays in my cube and my girlfriend needs to get her own.

I think the original art in the old frame looks great, so I would go judge foil. Calling it on what rest of the deck looks like isn't too bad either. I think I would rather have MM than Darksteel in that case.

MM not an option this time around. Thanks for the opinions! I'm running some probably not correct "pimp" options like GP Stoneforges and WMCQ Thalia's, but that's what the girlfriend likes, haha. She does however, get to borrow my foil ports and MPR Wastes.
Yeah, totally!
RTR was a really fun environment, and there are quite a lot of cards in there that are great EDH fodder (Cyclonic Rift, Chromatic Lantern, Worldspine Wurm, Pack Rat, Corpsejack Menace, Growing Ranks etc. etc.)... I think you'll have fun!

And Modern Masters isn't an option? That'd be my pick.
Second choice is Darksteel - that's the one that I actually have in my decks (because I'm not made of money).
