you list is more aggro than mine -- you might want to try out putrid leech
looks good, but i think you need more instant removal -- i was packing 7 instant removal spells backed by tidehollow scullers and inquisition of kozilek for more distruption, and it still wasn't enough to ensure that I could stop their combo.
mana leak is another possibility
both in really bad 75 card decks that were only running 20 lands
The only other occurrence that comes to mind was the first time I drafted at this shop I beat a regular customer who apparently really wanted to win, because after the 3rd round of our match he picked his deck up and threw it across the room. It's like "it's ok man, even the best of us sometimes lose our drafts!" Having to console someone in their mid-twenties when they are throwing a tantrum in public is just a bit awkward.
Unless you have a website or a store front I think this is all you can do, and frankly I find its more labor intensive than the little profit you can make. There is actually a guy on ebay who stuffs 1000 cards into a flat rate envelope! I tried it with them stacked and it doesn't work so they have to be interleaved and mashed inn basically unsorted. I can't imagine a scenario where some cards won't get damanged in the process this way.
What's worked for me is just flipping the entire thing. Buy 50,000 cards peel off what you can that you can actually get $2+ bucks for per playset and flip the rest of it with a small margin. Since you are selling so many cards at once the small margin actually ends up making it worth your time. And you actually get a little exercise in the process picking up huge boxes. The alternative is mind numbing (literally piecing out the bulk playset, piecing out everything and listing it all on ebay, and while you can make money on it. If you choose to that, it's a numbers game. If you have thousands of listings and offer very low shipping each with multiple quantities so you aren't relisting stuff over and over, and combined shipping you will start to make money off it. You'll start getting people who buy 10-14 different playsets of commons from you in one checkout. To reduce listing fees I was using listings with variations and listing everything from one color of each expansion together into one listing. But again, it's mind numbing. Without a prescription for aderall I wouldn't be able to do it lol. Just an amusing example from my mind. One of the cards I was selling the most of ended up being Walking Atlas, a card as a more serious player I never saw any use for which I would consider pure bulk.
It does add up, but 2.50 for the materials and shipping cost of 000 kraft mailers adds up faster, not to mention drives customers away espectially if you are in a market like ebay. Whenever I dropped shipping down from bubble mailers to the envelopes sales would go up.
I had the 65 cent stamps back when I was selling a lot of bulk. They did not have non machinable surcharge printed on them like that. I just started moving some cards again, so I will have to look into those. Right now I just write it in bold red sharpie at the bottom of the envelope.
Also of interest to people shipping this way: it's 22 cents for each additional ounce beyond the first. Presumably they have 22 cent stamps. Anyhow, i think you can fit about 3 playsets, a toploader, and a few penny sleeves in an envelope and keep it under and ounce.
Another method I've seen but have not tried is cassette mailers.
I really don't think bubble mailers add much more protection than a plain white envelope. They can be bent or shredded just the same. Cassette mailer would probably be the next safest bet.
My friend, who owns an LGS, actually sends all his cards this way. He uses team bags when sending more than one card. Personally, rather than put tape around the top loader I wrap the cards in a piece of paper and tape that. Never had an issue this way.
i dont really know photoshop, so the edges of where i overlayed the photo onto the scan of the card look too sharp and obviously shopped in!
i think it would be maybe more appropriate on an artifact creature given the mechanical quality of it, or maybe thoughtseize or mind twist with the way the wiring is feeding into the head. not sure how i'd go about getting photo portion of it to look foiled to match the rest of the card.
As a long time fan of dark bant zoo, I threw this together.
It's reasonable. Using refecting pool, the mana base is particularly vulnerable to tectonic edge / ghost quarter but with birds and noble you have a little padding. I'd love to use Ziggeraut but then you couldn't reliably cast CoCo.
