Ive been watching the mtgo free traders thing like a hawk and its been bust for 3 days now jesus peple give it a rest .....
Yeah I like literally find my self looking only at the "Busy" thing for like 30+ minutes till I'm able to get in. The thing I notice is it takes the bot some time before it will say "open" after its finished a trade and by then someone has already started a trade so often times it doesn't change at all. I would love it if they made a 2nd free bot to help relieve the stress of the first one.

Yeah we have no shortage of cards to give away but the problem is the freebot has 1.5 million cards and that puts a lot of stress on our computers. Computers are expensive and also expensive to run which is why we don't have more freebots up. I have been looking into a way to run a "pauper bot" which would be like a 1/300 type bot but with a lot better selection than the other bots.

Please do this. It would be so great and I bet, despite the fact that we're already dealing with dirt cheap cards, would help stimulate the pauper community. 300 for 1 is fantastically cheap.

Are you not able to run say two clients/bots per PC? I don't know how much stress the bots take but, you should be able to do multiple MTGO on a PC if thats the only thing its doing. Also please make it ASAP please. I would love that.

Cheap??? Theres a ton of 200/1 bots but, like most bots they only take things they don't have a surplus of; which is usually junk cause all the good cards got cleaned out or they sell on there other bots. If they accepted any and all cards then it would be amazing even if it had like 50 copies of a card which could be a great to help fund the free bot.

That's the problem. Most of what they have isn't worth buying. I read your post to imply that your 300/1 bot would have the stuff worth buying is why I asked.
I would imagine most people don't get ride of anything worth some sort of value to the 300/1 bots even if its only a few cents more.
Yes that can be normal. Some times the bots are slow or something so they won't trade for some reason when there actually open and the other reason is cause like MTGOTradersFreeBot there jammed packed with people wanting to trade every two seconds. Also never open your planeswalker deck or your going to regret it if you haven't already.
Correct...there is literally no way at all to get the DPA cards removed from your account.
There isn't even a box you can check anywhere that will just make them invisible. You must see them in your collection and all up in your decks at all times.
A good one, if you're looking for an obscure card on the cheap (Read: Golgari Grave-troll) is TezzertSaleBot(might not be "sale", will edit when I can check ingame). Literally, it took me an hour to realise that MTGOLibrary was lieing to me about who has what card for what price etc. But then I poked in to this bot and found pretty much all the cards I was looking to mod my edh deck, all in one place, and all adding up to 0.993 tickets. I hate credits because I really won't be buying a ton of cards from the same bots, but I guess it is a good incentive. I pretty much just nabbed up what I could from different places to get round numbers.
What's the best place to get good cheap commons? Stuff like Preordain, Lightning Bolt and the such? Cheapestmegabot is .20 tickets for a Preordain
I type "free" into the search bar and go to the bots with "______________0" or "________________1" etc. I think their prices are pretty good.
EDIT: You can go to these bots and pick up a playset of Lightning Bolts for about a quarter-ticket. Preordains and Mana Leaks will be more expensive no matter where you go.

Gotta say, I love this thread. Building a half-decent (maybe 35% win-rate in casual rooms) pauper decks for $2, both of which came with the game- was rather satisfying.
Kudos to you information hoarders, sharing the wealth.
Agreed, it's been helpful. I picked up a pauper deck from MTGOTraders for about $2.50 and it's a lot of fun to play. And thinking of getting another one for right around $3.
Soon as I'm comfortable with the UI, I'll move out of the New Players room.
Would like to give a shout out to MTGOTrader for making my first not trade easy and enjoyable. I probably would have been lost for awhile had he not been on while I was.

I built a budget cawblade deck ($20 total, half that was for the dual lands) that's destroying the casual room. So much so I want to test it out in a tourney to see if I can at least finish high enough to get two packs out of it. The main blade bits are almost just as expensive in MTGO as the paper versions.

I don't fear the man who has played 10,000 decks once. I fear the man who played one deck 10,000 times.

Could you PM me your list or post it into the budget forums please? I'm sure some budget players would love a budget version of a tier 1 deck...I'd certainly be interested how it could work at $20 since that implies no manlands or swords.

Thanks. We are always happy to help new players find their way around even if they are not a customer. As long as we aren't backed up with orders we will do anything we can to help.

If most cards end up cheaper on MTGO how is it not profitable to trade in for sets?
They don't send you cash. After you pay shipping and find a real life buyer of the set to resell it to, I doubt you'd be very far ahead. It would probably just be easier to have a real job and make more money that way anyway, not to mention buying up every card to resell is an investment which could get nasty, leaving you stuck with items that you can't sell for the same amount of money spent to acquire them.

What if your goal was to buy 4x of a set, going through MTGO isn't a good idea, even then?
