Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
So, like others, I've taken a hit in cards being sent to me on Puca since the Future Site upgrade. Right now, I'm after four Part the Waterveils and four Goblin Guides as my priority, but like others, I'm considering trying to get out. However, with no way to pull out my 50k+ points, I'm kind of stuck... If there's anyone out there that is planning on sticking around Puca and wants to take a look at my wants, my user name there is the same as here. Any help to take my points would be appreciated!

He accidently committed to send me a germ token (15 pts). I offered to let him cancel it, but he sent it anyway.

Question for people here: Does PT back bounties at all? I recently ran into a situation where a user I sent a trade to currently has none points in order to fulfill their promised bounty. That ever happen to anyone?
As a receiver, someone once committed to a huge package (9k points) and I didn't have enough points left to honor the 15% bounty. However, I did have a few cards in transit at the time. PM'ed the guy and explained him the situation. He ended up waiting a few days after I received before I could give him his due. Gave him an extra 500pp for his patience.
As a sender, I am also waiting for a 30% bounty which will probably never come. The guy received on November 4th and hasn't replied to my PM reminder since. Blocked him last week.

Ouch. Well mine is a decent sized bounty. The trade just closed this week so I'm not antsy yet or upset. I'll probably just be nervous until it either goes through or I get the impression I've been ripped off. With so many people jumping ship I could very easily see someone offering a "too good to be true" bounty (as this one was) just in order to liquidate your points.
Did anyone happen to see the sweepstakes that ended today? I took a picture of my computer screen that shows that there was 4 minutes and 30 seconds left to enter the sweepstakes, but a winner had already been chosen. A minute later, that was taken down, then once the sweepstakes ACTUALLY ended, it was the same person.
Am I the only one that thinks this is a bit hinky?

I never actually check what is going on with these sweepstakes, as I cannot enter them. However, if that really happened, there is definitely something fishy going on...

I emailed Eric freytag and he replied within a couple of hours:
Hi Ron!
Thanks so much for reaching out.
Yes, we accidentally generated the winner 4 minutes before the sweepstakes had officially ended. We noticed this immediately and withdrew the results from the drawing, and waited for the timer to fully end. When we ran the query the second time, a caching error with our database indicated that no new entries had been included since the time of the drawing 4 minutes prior, which caused the last 5 tickets to be omitted from the sweepstakes. At that time, 5 entries were omitted from the final results.
We’ve issued refunds for each of the 5 tickets, and contacted everyone affected accordingly.
Thanks again for contacting us about this. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns you may have.
Haven't sent out for a while due to an absolutely epic one that is currently going around the houses:
1) Send knackered Su-Chi from Australia to the US for a guy's beaten 93/94 cube on October 11th.
2) Nothing but crickets for five weeks for both of us.
3) It then proceeds to turn back up in my letterbox on November 14th, marked "Not deliverable to this address - return to sender" by the USPS.
4) Check whether I've screwed up the address with the receiver... nope, it's perfectly correct. USPS have simply rejected the letter for zero good reasons.
So we think it's down to the fact that I hand-wrote the address, and the USPS address scanner was having a particularly bad day. I've repackaged it, printed the label out this time, and it's going back on its way again. It's going to be the most well-travelled Su-Chi in history. And, to their credit, Australia Post look like they're offering me a free book of stamps to make up for the failure in delivery (go Australia Post! Who'd have thunk it?!), so it's not been a total loss. Just really, really epic.
To fill in the final chapter on this one, Su-Chi finally made it to his new home today on the second attempt. 56 days from initial commit to final destination! I'm surprised Puca didn't ask "this one's been out in the wild for a while... is everything OK?"
It made it to its new owner before Australia Post's supposed "replacement book of stamps" turned up here, too.
So this pushes me back over the 6K mark in points... let's see if my theory still holds...

The theory still holds. Threw a pile of stuff back onto my want list. Got hit up within 24hrs.
So it's still apparently:
1) Get over ~6K in points
2) Have a fat want list
3) Send the odd one to remain listed as an active trader
...
42) Profit?

I'm trying an approach close to that. I keep adding smalls & mediums to my list. I just accepted two trades, a ~$5.00 package and a ~$8.00 package. BUT, since I did that yesterday, not hits over night. It's been less than 24 hours, so we'll see how things progress over the next 1 or 2 days.
I have other cards I can send (I refuse to send out less that 400 points worth) that can keep me afloat in the lists. Plus having a gold membership, I should hover around the top (supposedly). If others are taking the same approach (slow-rolling the trades to stay afloat in the lists) then that can explain the slow returns.

I know I'm definitely slow rolling. I'm only sending out stuff that I want to get rid of right now (i.e. I don't expect it to hold value). There's way too much uncertainty in Puca right now for me to commit too many cards to send out.

I know exactly what you mean. I don't usually even bother trying to send trades anymore, except for reciprocals on discord. It feels really bad when you can't even get standard cards with a bonus.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm offering a 25% bounty on all cards and can't even get standard rares. I can't even get Theros temples that have VERY little demand any more.

There have been so many changes and confidence has plummeted. I've been a common member for a couple of years and traded around 900 cards without issue. And now I think my last few receives have been tokens or junk Rares. Meanwhile, people such as yourself can't even compete with those offering 100% bounties.

I think that the outrageous bounties like the 100% bonus ones will be short lived. There are A LOT of people just trying to cash out and get anything for their points right now.
The big question is, what will be left of puca once that's done?
Seriously, I don't know if I'm just lucky or you're just in some weird alternate dimensions, but I still receive stuff. Currently waitig for a Smuggler's Copter, a Grim Flayer and Liliana the Last Hope among some other notables. Silver member with 10/15 bounty. I do however ship a lot, even made my way to the top 100 in the last year, despite being a member only since last october.

Yep. I'm sitting here with about $30 in wants. Not even a bite for months.
And I'd love to spend my points on some foils, but they hate people.
Sitting on 53k worth of points but my want list is fairly short. I only play prereleases and edh with the occasional limited GPs, so I fairly limited with newer cards entering my collection. Pucatrade has been really good for as I normally put the handful of cards I want from each new set. Never offered a bounty and I think I have only ever received 1-2. However, the last several months have really slowed right down, I've only gotten 1 package from overseas and the rest where from a real life trade with a mate of mine.
I think he got...carried away.
