    I spoke to my LGS and from the sounds of things they will be getting no where near enough to satisfy demand.

    Quite disappointed, especially given there is no real reason behind this not being printed to demand. I know my store was happy to sell as many as they could keeping customers happy and profiting from the experience.

    One gentleman at the prerelease pulled four fetches in his sealed pool. Good times! I look forward to $10 fetches!

  • posted a message on Justification for buying a Khans Box?
    I buy a box and a fat pack on release.

    I play some sealed games with my kids and have a ball while boosting the rates folder.

    Is it a sound financial decision? No, but nothing in this game is in the truest sense!

    Having said that, I just opened my fat pack and got a Sarkhan, Sorin, Polluted Delta and Bloodstained Mire. Thanks for ruining my luck for the rest of the block, fat pack!!

  • posted a message on Uncommons and Trade Binders?
    Hey guys, organising my cards to only keep playsets and I'm faced with some surplus uncommons. At what dollar value do you consider them worthy of going in the trade binder or is there some other metric to go by?

  • posted a message on Collection Manager?
    Hi guys, I am hoping someone can recommend software along the lines of Deck box and Decked. I am happy to pay for the software provided it does what I need.

    I am hoping to catalogue my collection including specific art and foils. Of course the biggest need is ease of adding new cards and if possible adding by event deck, duel deck etc.

    Does a collection manager like that exist? Ie: I tell it I have a particular event deck and it will add all cards at once including an alternate arts? I have been unable to find word of this feature on their websites.

    Thanks in advance gents.

  • posted a message on What's a good, cheap(ish) deck to run at FNM?
    I really enjoyed playing RG Blitz style decks. I had my best results with it at my FNM also.

    From memory it was quite cheap to build up. Plenty of variants out there too.

    This is definitely going on my want list.

    I love playing duel decks with my kids and if this makes earlier ones available at a fair price it is a great move.

    Quite excited to be honest.

    The convenience makes it for me, although I do appreciate what you are saying. Plus I'm supporting my LGS and not the secondary market which does appeal. I'm not going to lie. I have spent far more building standard decks.

    I have pre ordered.

    I am fairly new to Magic. I played as a kid as the shoebox of old cards testifies. I got out for a while, married, had kids. I got into MTGO but got bored of it. I relocated and came across an amazing LGS so got back in with M14.

    I don't have a massive card pool and outside of the current standard my knowledge is sketchy at best. I see other guys playing modern, I read some modern articles and I've toyed with the idea of putting together a cheap burn deck or RDW. The price my LG offered and the convenience makes this deck an attractive option. Is it optimal, is it competitive is it many things those well entrenched in modern want? I'd suggest not. I get the feeling I am the target market ahead of those others.

    If nothing else I will actually get enjoyment out of matching it against my standard decks and also the recent event decks for a laugh. I'm sure my son will also have fun with it.

    Isn't that the point? Am I missing something?

    I'll keep my games, games and my speculation to the stock market (well my wife will, she makes money doing it, I don't!).

    For the Australians, I preordered from Games Empire today for $84. Seems like a decent buy to me!

  • posted a message on Rules Advisor Exam
    Just timed out, removed all my responses and did not show a result. It should have auto submitted, says so near the timer.

    All sorted. I'll have another whirl later.

  • posted a message on Rules Advisor Exam
    So it doesn't auto submit on time out? I'm happy to wear it as my own fault if that is the case. I was sure I read somewhere that it did, but given the amount of exam and rules reading I've done it is entirely possible I'm confused! It is a little cut throat if overtime results in auto zero though.

    Hey guys. I took this exam today, was pretty happy with my responses, saw I had time spare so decided to use it to review them and make sure I made no silly errors.

    Drama is, time got away and instead of auto submitting like I thought, I was instead told the exam expired.

    Is this typical for these exams? If it's an error, is there any point in submitting feedback to ask for another go? It didn't submit, but it did give a fail...

    So disappointed. I should have just hit submit and been done with it.
