MTG Salvation

Does the Guul Draz Assassin come out onto the battlefield as a level one or zero? Meaning when I level him up the first time will he then be a level 2 or Level one?

Deck tags??????? I have no idea what you are talking about. Help????

Hey everyone! Well recently I built a pretty nasty first strike/deathtouch deck and it plays really well except that my only downfall is I don't have any flying except 4 Vampire Nighthawks. My deck is green and black. Some suggestions would be appreciated.

So how about I add a few Glissa Sunseeker, Glissa, the Traitor, and also Acitic Slime. I can also add 2x Black knight. Then I can remove Death Baron, Skeletal Vampire and Plague Stinger. I like to try and keep my decks between 60-70 cards. I think that this combo would be pretty impressive. You? I have only been playing magic for about 7 months and this is the first deck I have tried to build completely by myself without my husbands help. Any advise is golden.

Hi Everyone. I want to make a deck based on these 4 cards. 2x Wurmcoil Engine, 4x Basilisk Collar, 2x Quitus Spike, 2x Gorgon Flail. I have done a lot of research on this and I was initially going to go with green and black however now I think I may just stick to black. What are you opinions? Here is a list of other cards I have and would like to put into my deck. 4x Escaped null, 4 Vampire nighthawk, 4x Howling banshee, 3x Death Baron, 3x Plague stinger, 2x wurmcoil engine, 2 skeletal vampire, 3x go for the throat, 4 doom blade.
I am going for alot of deathtouch, Lifelink, flyers, and a little infect aswell.
Thanx

You bring up excellent points that I will most definately consider. Since this is something that I am really interested in doing I will do more research and write up a great business plan for the bank. Thanks for the input.

I appreciate everyones input on this discussion. However you really don't understand that where I live in Northern "end of the world" Maine the town I want to do business in would practically PAY ME to open up a shop. THe town is in need of small business. There really are not many rules and guidelines and or lisences you have to deal with in order to open up a business here. The location I am interested in renting for only $600/month that includes heat and electricity allready has display cases a 20ft long peg board wall with hooks and everything. My wife and I allready have a large collection of MTG cards. We plan on purchasing about 8-10 tables from Sam's Club, advertising in our local papers and radio. We know that with Magic people for some reason just seem to crawl out of the wood work and that it is definately going to be popular. We have considered other games aswell and we want to have video game systems available for play ie xbox, wii. What I am having trouble with is finding out where to buy the card and supplies at WHOLESALE prices. We need cases of booster boxes, intro packs, Ultra pro supplies ect.

Well we have spoke to 1 individual business owner in the area that sells boxes and or booster packs. He is about 10 miles away from where we want to open a shop. He does not host events or sell singles at all. He just has a small selection af cards in his coin shop. I was told that he was a wholesaler but I have checked his prices and he is very expensive at $105-$115 a booster box. His wholesale prices are around $90. Is that a good price? I have been doing research for this for a few weeks. However I honestly haven't got a clue what I am doing except that I really would like to have a cool game shop. In the area we live in I need to be able to have affordable prices.
Rent $600 Lease 1year

Well we found a nice location in a high traffic commercial area. The rent is very resonable. We have around $7000 that we are comfortable with investing at first. Like I said there are not any gaming stores in the area for atleast 60 miles. You can buy packs and stuff like that at WalMart in town but that's it. You cannot buy single anywhere around and I am positive that would be popular in this area. I know quite a few people who play magic but nobody has the $ or guts to try anything new. I am fairly positive the arear we are interested in will support a gaming store. Nothing in my yellow pages for "gaming and Hobby wholesaler" We live in Northeren Maine if that explains anything.

Hi my name is Andrew. My wife and I have been thinking about opening a game shop in our area specifically for MTG. We really enjoy playing the game however there is not anywhere around us that we can go that has events like tournaments, leagues or even drafts. I have been doing some research and I was wondering where is the best place to buy supplies like deck boxes, sleeves and collector books aswell as buy cases of booster boxes and intro packs ect. I really am interested in having a store that will host events but I also want to have a good variety of affordable cards and supplies for my customers. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Yes so if I play 3 mana while that card is out in the battlefield then I loose 3 life.

Thank you I did know that about announcing your attacks to give opponants a chance to tap a card but I have just been playing with some jerkish people whom think that they can ALWAYS say "wait a minute back up a sec" and it drives me CRAZY! I am just glad to have all this info in writing so that the next time I play with this person I can tell them to knock it off. Just because I am a beginner doesn't mean i can't tell when I am being played. Thanks for all your help.
