    Its already 15+ on ebay and the combo has proven to be competitive. I wouldnt expect the price to lower anytime soon as the more a deck is tested and played the better it will get, thus raising it further.

    I live 20 minutes from both cardkingdom and magicarsenal so I buy most of my cards there. Currently arsenal has pithing needles at 4 ea Smile

    What you do is man up and not whine about it in an entire thread. You're calling him a scumbag, which makes you the same for going back on trades. I know that if I made a trade in my favor, and that person comes back next week begging for compensation because HE doesn't know prices, ill have zero respect for him.

    Edit: You also say that its not about the money but the chance to get more cards. Uh... Those are the same thing. The chance to get more cards is based on how much money you can spend.

    Once or twice a day, one is guaranteed after I get home from sports after school, and usually one in the morning before classes unless I'm in a rush to get out the door.

    Yeah, basically whenever anyone says something like this:
    then you know for certain that they are homophobic.

    Another big hint is when they make posts on forums complaining about what gay people were doing at a show - for all the "I'd have a problem with women doing this too" and "No seriously, I'm not a homophobe", it doesn't change the fact that this poster is obviously a homophobe.

    However, he might not actually realise it - attribution bias is a powerful force, and so he might be able to delude himself into thinking he treats gays and straights the same way. That's what I think is going on here.

    All the people defending him have basically the same problem; they all think that they aren't homophobic because they do the exact same thing this guy has done - say "I'm not homophobic" a lot. Doesn't change the fact that they actually are. So yeah. I'd rather not deal with this level of repessed hatred; it is probably time to leave this thread. Adios.


    You talk about being a homophobe like a bad thing, yet you are biased towards homophobes yourself. What level of repessed hatred are you talking about??? If somebody insists that they don't hate a group, firmly believe they don't, and so far 70% of the people think he isn't homophobic, then why are you so special? If your views óf gays are higher then others, if you're views of homophobics is that they have to be treated better than normal people, doesn't mean that you are right. If your views don't agree with others, take it as a HINT that your definition isn't all high and mighty like you make it seem (thinking your right even when outnumbered 5 to 1). I'm sorry, but if a shirtless women in only her bra was rubbing up against me when I said NO, I'd definetly remove myself from the situation.

    I agree.
    I guess what mulldrifter so good was evoke, but mulldrifter was hardcast quite often. For 2 more mana you get an extra card and +1/+3.
    Seems good to me


    A sorcery that cost 2 mana and let u draw a card+give a creature +1/+3 would not be played, and evoke was definetly a key part of mulldrifter

    You should tell them the name of the store where you played, as there were probably tons of FNMs happening on that day.

    I may not be an expert on elementals, but you should definetly be running fetches and duals, and maybe singleton basics against land destruction.

  • posted a message on Why are moderators so aggresive on MTGSalvation?
    They are a bit strict, but keeps the forums in line and magic-related content easy to find. The only rule I don't really get thàt stands out to me right now is why we aren't allowed to make posts such as "this" or "qft". I don't have a high post count, as I'm not the person who posts stuff that everyone else in the thread has already mentioned.

    For example I see threads such as "which card is better?", and then the following posts:

    Card A is better.
    Yeah card A for reason 1.
    Yeah card A for reason 2.
    Yeah card A for reason 1 and 2.
    Idk its pretty close but card A.
    Card A its pretty obvious.

    If somebody is posting what everyone else has already said but in different words, I don't see how it gives more info then just saying "this".

    I actually agree with you here.. Cool

    I'll be running those in my QC Green deck fo sho. Hope these don't get too expensive to purchase on Ebay. $1 ea would probably be my limit.


    How would they be a dollar each if you get 40 in a fat pack?

  • posted a message on Isochron Scepter in Mono-Red Burn Deck???
    Quote from MajoraX
    So you either spend 3 mana and lose a card in your hand; or you spend three mana and you... don't lose a card in your hand? I'm not sure I understand the problem.


    Now I'm no burn expert, but he probably meant the fact that you would be able to deal more damage faster if isochron scepter was just another burn spell. Say you have 3 mana (a lot for the deck as is), and you have a lightning bolt and isochron scepter in hand. You would have to cast the scepter (turn 1), activate it (turn 2), and activate it one more time after that (turn 3) to get 6 damage using 2 cards. If scepter was a lightning bolt instead you could cast both of them and deal 6 damage in 1 turn, also losing 2 cards. Now obviously if you had gotten up to 4 mana then you could speed up the isochron scepter activation by a turn and make it 6 damage in two instead of three turns. Either way, I'd rather have 2 lightning bolts in my hand.
