In all honesty, Im unsure actually of how the whole crystal commerce/ TCGplayer system works, so I'll give a nice response to you in a bit, when I understand better.
However, I will take this moment to share an important thing I want people to understand when I add places to the list: I have to do so independent of my emotions and will do so based on whats presented. As close to the actual source as I can get means that I am more willing to say, "Yea, this sounds cut and dry. Card spiked, they didnt honor it, dragged their feet refunding." Saying that, emotions will still cloud my mind a bit sometimes. In all honesty, and in addition to the quoted part on the first page, I like to look at things one more way: How did the store resolve it. Twice, I have had SCG make a mistake in orders I have done. One time was the wrong card completely and one time it was the wrong language. Both times, they apologized, told me to keep the card and then sent the right card, eating all of the costs. By them taking the onus, and fixing it, I cant fault them.
If a store has to cancel an order, but tries to fix it fairly, then thats good. Its moreso when a store takes advantage of people, that is the line crossing. As stated in the opening post, and this is something bluntly true: ALL STORES ARE DISPOSABLE. If you screw over a customer, you just gave them one less place to spend money. Saving money on a cancelled preorder means you have lost future sales potentially.
Now, back to you enzie, one thing in your post I saw:
Since when did everyone start feeling so entitled to a deal if they discover a pricing error? He wasn't inconvenienced in any way and the funds were refunded within 10 minutes. It was obvious the price was a mistake. If I was a buyer in this situation, I'd hope a vendor honored the price (so I snagged a deal) but I certainly wouldn't expect it or be mad if they cancelled it.
Im going to answer this from my personal experience. I once saw a card marked for $5 lower than most places (It was around $80). Now, at this time, I was visiting someone in california. So I go to buy it and the guy basically said "I'll sell it to you, but you have to pay $5 more as I just looked it up." Unlike a lot of places, California has it worded in a way that they have to honor the stickered price. I reported the store for it. Come to find out so had a lot of people and it eventually was force to close.
My point is this: If you post a price, I feel like it should be honored. In my personal feelings, and its just my thoughts before I learn more about the TCGplayer/CC system works, as long as you put in the right price to the best of your abilities and you fixed the mistake as quickly as possible/ensured it didnt happen again, then I personally (cant stress that part enough) feel as though you are fine. Where you arent fine is if it becomes a recurring thing. R_e for example wouldnt of been on here if it was once thing. But stories kept popping up here and in other places, so he got added. Some stores did something so beyond asinine that they got quickly added (Like cancelling a large order and telling the guy to screw off or something like that). But again, this part is my personal thoughts and not my "threadkeeper" thoughts.
Im between Wort Storm or Karador/Prossh. The last two would be tuned to punishing gaps in my playgroups decks (0 gravehate for Karador and for Prossh, its taking advantage of an open turn. Only 1 player seems to play counterspells/ways to stop combos.)
It does sound kind of reasonable. While they shouldnt happen, I think benefit of a doubt should be applied here as it also looks like they completely removed cunning wish foils listing (Not even an out of stock).
I will keep it in my personal notes though if this does pop up again.
In all honesty, it was a safe pick for a very good defense. The guy he is likely replacing is 34 years old and has shown that he has lost a touch of speed. All those combine for a very nice pick.
I dont want to spend $25-$30 on it, otherwise I would. Heck, even though I love 7ED force spike, I picked up a Legends one because it was original printing.
My issue with Revised isnt the art (Its actually the reason why I included it as its an Iconic part of mtg in my mind), but that its WB. FtV has really nice art compared to AN in my mind, but the foiling is what holds it back.
I saw the movie again today. Did not get anything more to the experience, but it did let me focus more on the story.
More Ultron time would have been good. Ultron was a filler villain that allowed for a good pivot to Marvel Civil War, Infinity War, and the movies. And for being a building future movies, it was really good.
I agree with what you said here. Knowing we were going to get at least 2 more keystone movies in the frnachise (Infinity Wars pt. 1 and 2) really capped my thoughts on this movie topping Avengers 1. I feel like we needed more Ultron development, the fact that the movie was lesser than Avengers 1 means that it wont be that much harder for the series to continue. By that, if this movie was better than 1, The expectations for IW 1 & 2 would be through the roof. If it means that overall the series is better, I'll take a slightly weaker middle of said series.
then how is that different from the delve example above? Why would delving seven cards for a treasure cruise not be considered an alternate cost in the same way?
Because it is not an alternate cost. Delve helps you pay the cost of the spell.
Most important thing: Put list on cubetutor and draft. Go to cube forum and go to draft others cubes thread and draft their cube, and they'll return the favor. You see how there cubes work and yours gets drafted.
I honestly dont mind Dual Commander, but thats because everyone who plays in my area has no qualms about the casual/competitive split. Its all cutthroat. I dont play, but if people want to play it, I dont mind them doing so.
I dont see anything wrong with your idea. And don't all abilities break a rule of magic (Haste breaks the "summoning sickness" rules.), so whats wrong with created abilities breaking the rules if they seem intuitive or the like?

Do note, I am a Ravens fan.

Nightveil Spectre: Buy a Box or Pack Foil?
Real talk here man: Think the Wizards can win the series without Wall?
What about Voidmage Prodigy. It technically has alt. art on it.
Because it is not an alternate cost. Delve helps you pay the cost of the spell.
Anyways, what kind of cube and of what size?
