Alright before I actually sign up for MTGO, you can only redeem to get real life cards if you have the complete set collected online? So if I'm a couple of cards short, I won't be able to redeem them?
Correct. But you make it sound like a huge deal. I tend to be missing things like Salvage Titan and Scourglass-- things I don't play in draft, chase in draft, or play constructed. When I want to redeem I will trade or spend 50 cents and pick them up.
But to be on topic, yes. you need to complete a Full set (1 of every Card, including Basic Lands) to redeem a set. then you also pay a shipping cost. ect..
i'm missing the majority of the Mythics and a single Rare from Shards of Alara redemption, but it's not that big of a deal, it'll cost me something like $50 to get em if i was going to redeem say, tommorrow, however you have nearly infinite time to collect the sets for redemption, WotC has a policy on redemption something like a full 2 years after ti's gone online to redeem.
here's the link to the Timeouts for set redemptions:
edit: for Example, Alara Reborn goes on sale this Monday (5/18/09) And redemption is immediately available as of that date, Last redemption available is December 5th 2011, That's a Pretty huge Chunk of Time.

Alright, thanks a lot guys. I didn't mean to make it sound like it was a big deal, I was just curious. I'm fairly new and am just looking to play on Mtgo until I can get comfortable enough to play at my local shop.
I can play at ANY time.
Tournaments or Casual as I please.
Draft, Sealed, or Constructed....whichever I want.
I don't have to deal with smart arse people face to face, and the best part...
