Feb 4, 2014pandafarmer posted a message on Launch Giveaway!Gifts Ungiven. You can build so many interesting decks with it, and we've seen several that were tournament viable. Watching pros play that deck during CHK Standard taught me more about how to play Magic than anything else.Posted in: Announcements

Personally I like having a space where I can say "here is my play area." In tight spaces it's actually pretty nice to have that dividing line.
I absolutely don't condone what your example of an owner did, but most shops that know a thing or two about Magic will check prices before selling unless Magic is not the only thing they sell. The game is such a horribly swingy market, that they are helping both parties by keeping up to date. Sure you save a couple of bucks here and there... but keeping the prices "real time" also means people aren't paying too much for things that dropped. Not every LGS owner is a dink and some generally will give people deals and make sure they can move cards that might otherwise sit collecting dust in the case because they are marked too high thanks to last month's big tournament.
People play magic because they love the game, not because it's convenient.
Sometimes you see decklists up by Day 2, but I don't think I've ever seen Day 1.
However I would warn against anyone buying a box "just because" they want to pull a profit.

At the Beginning of your upkeep, you gain 2 life.
Whenever you gain life, you pay pay 1.
If you do, draw a card and each opponent loses 1 life.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Oloro is in the command zone, you gain 2 life.
4/5
EDIT - forgot to include the box picture.
I would never bring it out at a shop where there would be strangers around. I always make a little caveat that "there are expensive cards in here, please treat them as you would expect."
This is the best advice I think. If someone needs and WANTS advice, they'll almost always ask, esp if you're friendly to one another during the match. If you're stone faced, rude, wearing a hoodie with sunglasses and your Ipod... well I'm guessing they won't bother asking you for help at the end.
