That underground sea is only in 'pretty good' condition and its over $4k

It's always been the most pricey dual land... I only have the "fake beta" Underground Sea : I've got four "Foreign Black Borders" Underground Sea. They're worth today 100x what I paid them for nearly twenty years ago 

(I've got about 30 dual-lands, all FBBs)

Prices for these never ever seems to go down.  It's insane. I probably already said it but my MTG cards are in a safe at the bank. I've got several K's of dual lands and a few other niceties (Bazaar of Baghdad, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, Force of Will, etc.). I probably also have a few things worth some money to collectors, like the first japanese Serra Angel, but totally miscut. I've got binders full of cards in a garage: one day I should try to find someone in my city who knows all the cards and have him have a look at my cards to see which one are worth keeping... A big problem I've got is that I've a ****load of cards in japanese, thousands of them, and I don't speak japanese and can't tell from the drawing which card it is 

I still recognized a few things like Lion Eye's Diamond, Natural Order, etc.  So I know I've got a few niceties but I just can't sort all that mess: there are just too many cards 

Where are you located, I want to gawk at your nice things

Hehe had 8 Force of will, 4 of each blue dual land (unlimited), 4 mana drain, 4 (BB) Ball lightning, a beta Demonic tutor and a overall killer Oath deck. Sold it to get money for a mortgage loan

Did sting at the time but didnt really enjoy playing the lame Oath style even if I almost never lost. Still got my Tinker deck even if its rekt by restrictions and the movement in the extended format. Still cant believe it was ever legal

Sometimes I wanna kick myself for not getting into MTG in the '90s but, hey, at least I'm into it now (REALLY into it  ). I've been playing for only 3 months and I've constructed 5 good playable decks and craploads of standard lands that it seems I've been subconsciously collecting (for the artwork, mostly).

I find myself being drawn more to the old-style cards with their traditionally-illustrated art and simplified abilities. I've gotten to the point in which I can look at an illustration and name the artist about 20% of the time. John Avon: my personal fave! I have a lot of cards that I don't even use in decks that I keep just for the artwork. Someday I'd like to matte a bunch of them in a frame.

I kinda like having a ****ton of money (compare to back then) and spending like $200ish on a deck every other "block" (not sure what its called now). Did build a sligh/curse of the stalked prey deck when Innistrad came out. Paid like $15 each for my Stromkirk Noble, should have never looked em up because now they are down to $2

Magic isn't what it used to be. either Im getting old or all these kids with their skateboards should get off my front yard

[cmadrid]

get their skateboards off my lawn, and their hands off my keyboard!

Question for you guys:

Spellshift
"Counter target instant or sorcery spell. Its controller reveals cards from the top of his or her library until he or she reveals an instant or sorcery card. That player may play that card without paying its mana cost. Then he or she shuffles his or her library."

I'd like to cast Spellshift on my own spell in hopes of searching my library for a specific sorcery spell. The phrase "...until he or she reveals an instant or sorcery card" eludes to having to stop revealing cards once the first instant or sorcery card is revealed. Am I correct in assuming this?

Is there a card (preferably blue) that would allow a player to search his or her library for a specific sorcery card?

[Skuloth]

Yes to all of your questions.

Spellshift stops milling when you find either an instant or a sorcery.

Mystical Tutor and Personal Tutor are the first cards that come to mind, which put the desired card types on top of your deck. You can also use things like ponder, brainstorm, preordain, and friends to manipulate the card you want to the top of your deck as well.

Thanks. Those cards are exactly what I'm looking for.

So, did anyone go to midnight release? I got the promo price for a booster/fat pack. Spending tomorrow opening/sorting.

Yup I did 2 prereleases last weekend

Went 3/1 at both. The first on UWR small dudes, and the second on UBW flyers.

Nice! I was gonna go to a pre-release last week, then got caught up at work and was too tired to go. Midnight release last night was a purchase and leave because of how sick I was...didn't want to infect anybody at the store with w/e the hell it is I have.

Honestly, it's not that exciting of a set. I do like the dual-sided planeswalkers though, and there are a good handful of white cards that are more than playable in this set. (Makes me happy since I play white/blue against friends. Don't play at stores unless it's sealed)

I want a foil dark petition, that's really all I want from it tho.

The limited plays pretty nicely tho imo.

[exitfire401]

Opened up my box and fat pack. Box yielded enough great pulls to pay for both if I were to sell them. 2 planeswalkers (Nissa/ Jace), and a total of 6 mythics from the box as well as 1 foil rare, and the fat pack didn't really have anything.

Very nice.

I definitely recommend drafting some origins if you're into limited. The format is pretty solid.

Today for me however is a legacy tournament. Here's hoping all goes well!

Good luck! I'm visiting family this week, but I may go draft next week. Starting a 4 week sealed tournament at one of my local shops this week as well.

This is kinda random, but I have a ton of magic the gathering stuff I'm not using anymore. I'll get around to posting pictures at some point.

However I have a bunch of empty fatpack/booster boxes/deck boxes/sleeves (some people like specific ones). I also have a ton of cards, especially older ones since I played mostly in EDH/commander and traded. I don't have any cards past Khans, since that's basically when I quit so, sorry standard players

If you have like a list of cards you're after let me know and I'll see if I have any. I would just ask for you to cover the shipping costs.

Same. I'm getting into EDH at work, and could always use some more stuff for my white/blue deck

I've gotten into tiny leader decks lately.

My girlfriend pulled a dual-sided Liliana from her black prerelease pack. I drooled on it a little  I, myself, am enjoying the new thopter-support cards. I love me some artifacts!

[smarmar]

I presented the following query to my local FB MTG group and received conflicting results. I will now put my trust in a more reliable source: you, the GH MTG community.

My question is this:
If I enchant Whipkeeper with Veteran's Voice will the enchantment's tapping ability activate along with Whipkeeper's, thus giving the dwarf damage-dealing as well as distribution of +2/+1 to another creature? The way in which the enchantment is worded confuses me: The cost is 0 but the effect seems to be divided into cost: effect, as well.

So the trick is to look up the card on gatherer for the correct wording.

The enchantment gives an ability that requires the creature to tap, ignore the 0 mana cost written on the card. It just requires tapping the dude as the cost.

I did not know about oracle text. Now the wording makes sense. Thanks.

[Skuloth]

If wording ever seems really janky, check the oracle text. Especially on older cards.

Yup, I like to play Legacy and Vintage when possible. I've been playing the combo Lands deck lately. I'm hoping to make it to Eternal Weekend next month.

Oh sweet! Let me know if you end up heading out. More than likely I'll be heading out as well, since I live pretty close to Philly.

Unfortunately I will not be able to participate in the vintage portion however.

[intelli78]

Sweet, I definitely will.

I might be able to loan you Dredge w/ Bazaars for Sunday... depends on who comes with me.

What do you play if you don't mind me asking?

I am planning to play Stax. Maybe an aggro variant, or maybe 5C.

Any chance you're willing to post a copy of your lands list?

Also how has it been performing for you lately?

I'm currently running High Tide, but the meta has been beating it up a lot lately. I've been considering swapping over to the grixis control lists that have been showing up lately. They look like a ton of fun to pilot.

I'm finally going to buy some origins tomorrow....I hope!

playsets of forces & fetches away from finishing UB Reanimator
playsets of fetches & Argothians and a couple Serra's Sanctums away from finishing Enchantress
very far away from finishing The Gate, but I like the disruption package

Legacy feels more expensive than geekhack :/
