    Anyone trying to unload fat packs right now is an idiot. the full art lands are gonna hit a dollar a pop in 18 to 24 months. just pop the packs or sell them on ebay and sit on the land packs for a couple years its not that hard.

    Ok lets actually think here, 10 of them are going to be checklands, the checklands are played in modern while the filters are played less. I suspect the other 10 will be man lands, 5 new enemy ones printed in the winter set, and the 5 from worldwake. They rarely print a full cycle of lands in a block unless they are reprints ( ravnica and shock lands, ktk for fetches). I mean lets be honest we are still waiting on enemy manlands, the other half of the scars set. it took them almost 3 years to prints the enemy checklands. and 10 ish for enemy fetches. They also don't like having much more than a full set of duels and a couple half cycles in standard.

    Which I again, argue is unsportsmanlike, off the basis that it shows a clear lack of respect for your opponent.


    It's a card game bluffing is part of card games, Throwing the bolt to the face and give that I win smile. It's just a form of bluffing. If they remember the trigger smile shake hands tell them you were hoping they would forget. If they do forget shake hands say good game tell them it was a lucky top deck and report the results. telling them they missed the trigger will just make them feel worse.

    Same question as I asked above. 4/4 Baloth instead of 2/2 bear. Do you still fire the bolt or do you scoop it up? You're still following the rules in playing the bolt, but it's pretty unsportsmanlike to bank on your opponent missing their trigger and win off a rules technicality, at least, in my opinion. Which is really what all this comes down to in the end. Opinions.

    This is an easy one at this point you bolt The face and hope the other guy forgets his trigger. you have nothing to lose by doing this and everything to gain. There is nothing wrong with hoping you opponent pulls defeat from the jaws of victory .

    I have a 2 row card box for each color that is not standard (type 2)

    Each color is alphabetized , abcd....., In each letter section the cards are Alphabetized, all of this is labeled with a note cards, each card name gets its own note card. this makes it very easy to find stuff and only took me about 6 weeks to set up at first keep it up is easy as any new cards are just added when they show up.

    My standard stuff is in 5 single row boxes with note cards seperating colors, rares uncommons and commons. trade stuff is in the trade binder, all of witch is type two.

    I really don't like foils,... they warp and curl, they have marking issues, they sometimes make the card hard to read. but anyway

    I really , really don't like pulling foils of expensive cards.
    The problem is foils are worth about double what ever the normal card is worth, and in the case of fetchlands about three times. this makes them very hard to trade away. most sane people won't give you 2 baneslayers for a foil one, same with jace.

    I have had a foil scalding tarn sitting in my trade binder since late oct early nov and still have not been able to move it, any one who looks at it i have told i would take cash for it, 3 m10 duels, or any two fetches, a jace or baneslayer ( with me throwing in a little filler) , or a nocturnus and a little filler. they just don't move.

    My suggestion is unload it quickly, e bay it for cash to buy 2 of her, but you have to remember she will be leaving standard pretty soon ( 6 months) and most likely will have a price drop , i would actually look for some m10 stuff that will see reprint ( duels, baneslayer and nocturnus ( hopefully)) or zendikar block stuff that will retain its value ( fetches, jace, maybe manlands, stoneforge mystic (( this card is going up in value)))
