Deck Challenges 05/17/2013 by zandl
...recently saw Soul's Fire dropped in a match, and was jealous that I didn't have one; along the same mentality, i am liking Grab the Reins . I like the suggestions, but most of them - namely Urabrask the Hidden - go against a personal code of mine, where if I hate a card since it's used on me, I tend to boycott its use... Genesis is definitely a solid idea, I've got it in another deck and I never even considered it for this one...
Thanks!
@ApocryphalSaint: They were worth about $8 at the time and I wasn't using them in Extended. :(
Not as bad as when I sold my Polluted Delta s and original shock lands from Ravnica: City of Guilds.
I noticed you only have 2 spells, 1 Putrefy , and 1 Merciless Eviction that can get rid of Pithing Needle on your Maze's End . You may want to consider more Putrefy 's, Abrupt Decay , Sundering Growth or Ancient Grudge
I sent 4 snapcasters to someone on this site for trade. It has been over two weeks. I have not received my cards from him. He has not responded to my email. He has not responded to my message on this website. He is listed as having not logged in in two weeks. He seemed legit..
Is there anything I can do?
Those are all good suggestions but I guess if I put in One Thousand Lashes or Pacifism , I would need to take out Sinister Possession since they would be detained.
I'm having a hard time thinking what to cut. Also, all these enchantments are pretty costly and I have no sort of mana pump.
I was actually just talking about this with my playgroup. I have 6 paper EDH decks, and I own at least one copy of every card in all of those decks. Because I like to lend out decks to newer players to get them interested in the format I recently decided to print good quality proxies so I can play three different decks and not have to worry that I have only one mana crypt. I also like doing it this way because now my collection is complete enough that building a new deck is a $40 investment and I don't have to worry about spending $100+ just to fix my mana.
Because you're raging about a completely free service like it took away something you're entitled to. I can definitely understand the frustration - not from Cockatrice personally, but from Duels of the Planeswalkers on my iPad crashing often - but complaining about it like they robbed you of something does make you look, well, silly.
I totally get where you're coming from on the MTGO thing - it's a little weird to me as well. But I basically see it as paying for an entirely different thing that just happens to look the same. Since there's basically no crossover between the two, other than that "collect one of the entire set and you can cash them in for us sending you a box of the real cards" thing, it's pretty easy to divest the two from each other. Instead of paying for cards, just process it as paying small fees for server upkeep and such and it doesn't feel bad. Plus, bringing it full circle, at that point your money is going towards preventing exactly the sort of thing you made this post to complain about.
As far as losing data to a server f-up, they're actually pretty good about replacing lost cards or transactions in the event of a glitch. You have to hop through a couple hoops to report it, but they're low hoops, and it's just to make sure the reports are legitimate.
