Cool, awesome. I'm brewing pauper, which I know is a terrible idea. But it's my favourite deck style in every format it's viable in.

No innovation.

This standard, while solid, is not as fun as pre-DTK.

I'm not disagreeing, but it's a third set. I can't think of a third set that's ever done something actually cool to the meta, especially not at the PT so soon after launch. Game Day hasn't even happened yet.

I am honestly so keen for people to stop playing abzan, because it hasn't funnelled down to local meta yet.

So I think I'm cashing out my MTGO account (except Modern Affinity) and buying a set of Mox Opals and a PS4. It scares me slightly that I own that much money in digital Magic cards.

I'm also looking to get back in; if you've got some stuff for a good deal, I might be interetsed as well.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I'll put the whole file up and let you pick through. Highlights include most of Modern Burn, all of Standard Atarka Sligh, all of Standard WU Heroic, and Modern Living End (wihtout Fulminators)

[SNIPPED] is the whole thing. I'll cut any of you guys a good deal. This is mostly just me seeing a giant pile of cards I don't play with and wanting to use them for something useful.

EDIT: That link didn't work. Looking for other stuff.

I'm very interested in Standard UW Heroic and Modern Living End right now(depending a little bit on what you're asking for). Both of those are probably the decks I'd put together if I wanted to start putting together an MTGO collection. The lack of Fulminators doesn't bother me at all for Living End, that'll happen over time.

I am terrible at Magic other then Limited events in which case I can usually finish 2-1 or 3-1, don't win them too often but I get lucky sometimes. I pulled an Ugin and Deathmist Raptor yesterday but honestly... I think I should just trade them.

I am terrible at trades though and don't know how to go about doing things with it. Mostly I am just lazy and don't care about my cards so they are all stored in box containers. Whats the best way to get value out of value pulls? Should I just trade them away while Standard makes them worth something and try to snag up as many lands as I can? Fetches don't go down in value right?
Looking for love in Alderaan places.

I'm interested in playing a variant of GW devotion, however I am worried that it will be too easily beaten by fast decks, and I'm wondering if there is any tasty tech that can be helpful when playing against stuff like RDW?


EDIT: So just after I posted this, the people on the area page who actually know what they're talking about have started talking about if there is any deck that can consistently beat RDW at the moment, none of them particularly want to play it but a couple of them have already booked flights to play at Shanghai and have been trying to find justification for playing something else. It seems like it's really difficult to have game against it.

Maybe a Google doc link?

Have you looked at modern living twin?
You're not going to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. S*Gaiden will not make long cases, write stunning insights, or sugar coat his words. He is not the man for multi-paragraph eloquence. He is, however, being honest to a fault, and it comes across in his writing.

Yes, it's a hilarious deck, and if Splinter Twin + Kiki-Jiki weren't incredibly expensive, it's probably what I'd go for. It's at least good timing for MM15, because it'll probably have some cards that will help.

I have about half the cards I need for the RUG Delver brew list I have. Which means I have bit of Nivix Fiend already, so I would probs be happy to take some of that off you, and MBC is something I am keen on anyway, but I didn't want it to be my first deck kind of thing.

I have non-Coumbajj-Witch MBC if needed. It's from pre-theros so I guess I don't have Garys too.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing is the Google Doc of the entire collection. It's kind of hard to maneuver without downloading it and loading it into MTGO. I might have time to go through today and mark off the full decks I have available with prices.

4-1 at a Standard PPTQ, top seed in the cut to top 4. I was on Abzan Control/Midrange, the other three who made the cut were all on Esper Dragon Control, sufficed to say I did not make the finals.
