Be careful mate...I've wrote this down in 6-31 different ways/views/angles...each leading to clarity as the post you just made...soon the dogs will come out to defend SCG's process (I used the correct term manipulation of the market as THEY SET THE TRENDS, but the dogs will give you another perspective I'm sure soon enough).
But I concur with this, the only way its beneficial to anyone person in general...is if you're the mage who has it all...and its for sale instantly at $29.99 (Chords, really).
Sometimes it pays to walk the straight line (or plank) and try to ignore the facts and stay quite, but in this case they toss it right in front of you...the only question "they" truly ask in the end is...will your payment be Paypal-Credit-or Debit (and someone is paying the price).
S.M.
Yea, the "dogs" bite, in this case being a mod. "accusations without proof" is now considered trolling, so is breathing to hard.
But i digress.
IMO, scg manipulates the market and it generates a LARGLY negative effect on the consumer. IMO IMO IMO.
And yes, given the trends over the last few years, IMO scg does manipulate the market, i even questioned mr ben bleiwess himself over a slogan they had on thier buylist, to which it was along the lines of:
"We agressivly and consistanly buy out stores and collections" yadda yadda.
In which, he said he could see how people could misinterpret that message... right.
Yeah, it was in M13. It was just printed in a block set as well. Multiple times.
edit: Oh, it has the crappy core set art. They give it good art in Shards, then they go back to the crappy art in M10. They give it good art in Zendikar, then they go back to the crappy art in M11. They give it good art in Innistrad, then they go back to the crappy art in M13. And now they give it good art in RTR, then they go back to the crappy art in M14.
It really pains me to see the stupid orange sphere come back when they already have so many better options.
Again with this? It's not about whether or not it's "worth the risk", it's about whether or not you consider defrauding your LGS and stealing from someone who paid for the game to be right or wrong.
My friends can't redeem their own codes so they were planning on giving me theirs. If they do so, do stores check everything associated with the code such as account/account name/date of birth, ETC. or what?
Not buying that for a second lol, but i've heard diffirent stories, personally, they just looked at it and threw it out, but apprently some stores check the database wizards gives them to see if the codes are legit.
So if its worth the risk, try it, but if they scan and they come back fake, you'll ruin your rep at that store for sure.
To casuals they are worth a bit, less than half the normals cards value most of the time.
Me and a friend picked up a ton of championship fetch lands for 2 bucks each, turns out they go from 10 to 20 on ebay, so getting the right ones cheap can yield good profit.
Gaeas cradle for sure.
How do you make an alternate profile?
you mean a new playstation user? i tried that, besides finding out that i can get legal unlimited promos and semi unlimited sealed, i cant use that user on my game.
No, like she cant use the decks at all.
i have the OPTION of using ajanis deck, because i just unlocked it.
But even if i go with, lets say the sliver deck, she cant choose ajanis still, it shows that little lock on it, like it was never unlocked in the first place.
How does she "sign up" i mean, i bought the game, its there. But theres no option to create another profile, or account or anything. Conversly, if we when, we unlock a card for the deck i used, not the deck second player used.
So me and my girlfriend were playing some two headed giant, and i just unlocked ajanis deck, she wanted to play it.
I could select it just fine, but she couldnt, it was locked to her, why?
Other planeswalkers decks (chandra, garruks) are avaliable to her, but not those ones, even though they are unlocked.
Also, as a side question, how can i let het have her own name/profile.
Its just the same pic as mine, with a shorter version of my screen name.
Personally i likes onslaughts the best.
And when it comes down to funtionality, 7th editions disenchant is awesome.

This is trolling. Infraction issued. -Galspanic
Scg pulls all thier Chord of calling lists it as "out of stock"
and ups the price to $30
buys up all the stores online at a profitable price, $20 or less.
All that remains are 25 - 30 dollar versions.
This time next week, scg will be back with full stock and its new amazing price of $29.99.
<Scg is bad for magic, and bad for anyone who gives them money.>
Accusations without proof are trolling, and the bracketed comments are flaming. Troll/Flame Infraction issued - Skies.
Wut?
Ok.

Its just a big mess of unexplained stuff.

Any info is greatly appreciated.
