MTG Salvation

Couple of clicks away? (Unless you too insist it is French foil, Donald got the last one.)

Anyways, I played last night Cube and EDH till ~5AM. Cube was more fun than I expected, Moat, Sorin 2.0 and Elspeth 1.0 won me games.

Na, I cant afford that stuff right now lol. Pimping my rebel deck is sapping most of my spare cash right now. Adding $1,000 to a mono colored manabase is sort of rough lol.

I can think of so many better ways to spend $1,000 on Magic cards than some acrylic paint on a basic Plains.

Spending $1,000 on some acrylic paint on basic Islands.

.... Sure.

OFF-TOPIC THOUGHT EXERCISE!!!!!!!

If ISB gave you $1,000 with the stipulation that you had to spend it on Magic cards (not necessarily to purchase cards, but all the money has to fuel your Magic addiciton), what would you do? Remember, this money came from ISB and we all know he watches us when we're sleeping, so spend it wisely.

For me, I'd first buy like enough supplies to double sleeve 2,000 cards then spend the rest on building my cube. Ideally I want to be able to trade off all my extras and just build decks from the cube. I would like to think that between the the generosity of ISB and trading off most of my duplicates I could get most of the staples and a solid mana base (since I'm currently short 7 ABUR duals and 5 fetches).



(Edit: JWK I got the cards. Thanks!)

Buy Duals, buy fetches, buy Mishra's Workshop.

Is purchasing/aggressively trading for Library of Alexandria a stoopid thing to do since it will never be unbanned?

Yes

That's what I thought. So you're saying I should do it then, right?

Duals and fetches for my Ghave deck, at the very least. Now I'm curious, so it's 80 for a Savannah, 70 for a Scrubland, 150 for a Bayou, 40 for verdant catacombs, and 50 for Windswept Heath. So that's 390 out of the thousand gone (prices are SCG, because I'm lazy). Then the Kresh deck could use some duals/fetches, so that's 150 for Bayou again, 80 for Badlands, 70 for Taiga, 40 for Verdant Catacombs, 40 for Bloodstained Mire, and 50 for Wooded Foothills. So that's 430 more, dropping me to 180 left. After that, it's a lot of twenty to thirty dollar cards I don't feel like doing the math for, like the swords and such not. Now to just start saving!

Edit: Turns out I am just bored enough to do that math, so here goes. Sword of Light and Shadow for 20, Sword of Fire and Ice for 40, Sword of Feast and Famine for 15, Yavimaya Hollow for 10, Treachery for 10, Vindicate for 20, Stoneforge Mystic for 25, and Bitterblossom for 35, leaving me with five bucks to pay shipping. Ended up with more ten dollar cards than I expected, but tis how it goes.

I think it's time to start bugging ISB for money.

Get a playset of Force, LED, Cryptic Command, Liliana of the Veil, Stuff for legacy Death and Taxes. And maybe fetches. Mostly I need fetches...

What if I dress up like him?

Quote from Bur »

$1000 from ISB? Judge Elesh Norn, fetches and foil snow-covered basics. And maybe some sleeves and a nice custom playmat.

Or I could have gals customize all of my lands. I think altering a whole landbase is a lot cooler than judge Elesh (she is really cool though).

I dunno, Judge Elesh is pretty dang awesome. It depends on the quality of the land alters, I suppose, as to which is better.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable Elesh Norn deck that has all the cards in it altered to have the same text and such. That will be hella cool.

Buy the lands I need and/or the lands I'm missing, spend the rest on getting better cards for the decks, if there's any left spend it on "pimping" (getting certain basics for decks, certain sleeves, maybe foils of certain cards).

cryogen I have an important question to ask you that I feel is more appropriate to ask here than in your helpdesk.

Which pony is best pony?

WEll... I'm glad you asked.

*cracks knuckles*

There are many different factors to consider here. What is 'best'? How can one quantify something which is defined by opinions? What characteristics can we use to determine who is the best? Are we looking at defining qualities portrayed throughout the show? Individual acts by each character? Fan popularity? Color schemes and style?

Ah... who am I kidding here. It's Fluttershy.
