So anybody within a few hours of the Dayton/Cincinnati, OH area...
As much as I hate to say it, I've got to look at selling off my collection. I'd prefer to have sell it all in one go if possible. After going through my binders and decks to gauge what kind of value I should put on it, they came out to just over 1800. I'm going to ask for probably 75% of that (or best offer), so somewhere in the region of 1350-1400. I'd include my bulk commons and uncommons that I haven't gone through, as well as all the accessories I've built up through the years (sleeves, deck boxes, dice, playmats, etc.).
If anybody is at all interested, or knows someone who might be, please shoot me a PM.
Thanks,
Allohak

Just in case, I would contact them as well to see what is going on. I personally have never had that problem, but I'm proactive about things as well, especially to make sure that all packages arrive to their destinations.
Alright, I'll give the USPS a call tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.
Contact USPS and see what the holdup is. Sometimes it happens. You also made sure he had the right address right?
Yeah, and he says this has happened before with that processing center.
He's going to the post office tomorrow to see if he can light a fire under somebody's bum.
I've got a trade in progress with BaconBehemoth.
He gave me a DC #, and I have checked on it several times.
It was first processed on March 6th, in Salt Lake City, UT.
On March 12th, it was processed again, still in Salt Lake City, UT.
There have been no further updates on when the package may have left the processing center there.
So what do I do about this? The guy obviously put the stuff in the mail, but the USPS is falling all over themselves.
Wow, what is wrong with people? :mad::o:mad:
My car got broken into back in December and somebody stole all of my stuff, but it wasn't nearly like the 10k you're out
I know I don't have a whole lot to begin with, but anything I can get ahold of I'll send to you to help.
I play Affinity, and I always find it okay to mull in order to find a Leyline against any of those decks, even on the draw. I bring 3 in and take out Spring-Leaf Drums. Void is also awesome if you're worried at all about Loam-Pox popping up.
Hey guys,
I've been doing a lot of trading on here for the past few months, but been reading on here for quite some time. I'm looking to do a little more than just trade with people with limited contact, so I figured I'd check this thing out. Actually getting to know/talk to people a little will be much more fun than just seeking trades from random screen names.
I'm Jeff. I'm a college student in Ohio. There's not much more to it, really. I'm looking forward to getting a bit more involved on here.
Arc Trail would only be targeting one golem.. and the Player being the other target for the spell...
"Targets only" not "only targets"
To cast Arc Trail, you have to name 2 targets, so it does not follow through to the other golems, unless you choose the same golem as both targets.
Got the new deckbuilder's toolkit tonight as a present from my girlfriend. I was excited when the first pack I opened was Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas! Also got a foil Prototype Portal, Liege of the Tangle, Drowned Catacomb, and Protean Hydra.
Seems like you have a good way to keep things interesting in your playgroup.
Some ideas:
1. Winning % x Number of times attended - This will eliminate the problem you had with P1 being ranked ahead of P2 because P2 played more games than P1. P1's winning percentage was .78, while P2's was .79. Not much to put a gap between them. But if you want to put an emphasis on rewarding attendance, P1's score becomes 2.33 (.78 x 3) and P2's is 3.14 (.79 x 4). It also keeps scores from being inflated by players winning a lot, but only playing from time to time. If P3 attends twice, plays 5 games, and wins 4, their score would be 1.60 (.8 x 2). In contrast, P4 attends 5 times, playing 11 matches. P4 wins 4 of those matches. Even though P4 didn't win as much as P3, their score is 1.82 (.36 x 5) due to the reward for attendance.
2. Number of Wins / Number of times attended - using the same statistics as above, P1's score becomes 2.33 (7 / 3) [complete coincidence that it's the same score as idea 1]. P2 has a 2.75 (11 / 4), P3 a 2.00 (4 / 2), and P4 gets a 0.80 (4 / 5). Even though P3 has the best winning percentage, they score lower than P1 and P2 because they do not play as often, meaning less total wins. The drawback to this is that players who play often, but do not win a lot will have fairly low scores.
3. (Number of wins x 2) + (Number of times attended x 3) + (Total games played) - This is a bit more complicated, but puts a bigger emphasis on attending. Winning obviously helps your score, whether you play a lot or not, but the largest emphasis is on attendance. The players get 32, 48, 19, and 34, respectively. Here, P4 gets the advantage over P1 because of the attendance bonus, even though P1 wins more games than P4. P2 gets their advantage from both winning more games and attending often.
Good luck finding a system that works for you and your playgroup!
I've been playing around with this, but could use some help tying it together. The general idea is W/U semi-control with G ramp until I can get a finisher (Titan/Angel) out. Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

But on the other hand, they really do need to go back to a brown color for artifacts.
