What the hell. I see the links you posted when I mouse over them, but if I click on them it just links me back to this thread.
Whoa that's weird.
EDIT: I guess you can't link to MTGO Traders search results for some reason.
EDIT2: Fixed the links.

I decided that I would rather blow the money on cards I'll actually use rather than cards I won't. I'm pretty sure this whole "Vintage on MTGO" thing will be a temporary fad, and I doubt I'll end up really getting into it. I'd rather spend that money on Lilianas or Goyfs or something I'll actually play with.

Hm. Guess the price was down from yesterday. I only made incremental immediate value. On JTMS.
Which has never dropped in price due to it "never being played in any viable format" only for it to spike enormously.
I'm content.

Alright so I think I'm going to try and find the Venser vs. Koth pack for my first sets of magic cards. That way I have enough to play with my son using the two decks and then have options for when I go to my brother's house.

Ah, cool. I was actually thinking about asking how one goes about getting "used cards" for MTGO since I was thinking of getting into it.
One major draw it has for me is to practice the digital version of my paper deck for FNM.

And have we talked about this yet?
I know that we discussed Magma Jet. It's supposedly been spoiled.

Where are you seeing 5000 sets only? Just curious.

Podcasts from MTGO people in the know. Guess the limit has always been 5000, but they've never sold out.
And that bow is silly good. Please block my mana dorks. No? Blood rush!
G/R is looking neato
With Snapcaster and Delver getting the boot it's possible that they print some actual real deck manipulation cards again.
It would have been a tough sell for them to put that at Mythic- it doesn't "feel" mythic at all. The only reason Tarmogoyf was a Mythic in MM was because MM wasn't a "real" set, and they didn't want to tank it's value.
Preordain, depending on how the support cards for it are, is probably safe to reprint in standard. The only problem is that the card is banned in Modern (and probably never coming off the ban list), and we don't know how they feel about reprinting banned cards in standard legal sets yet. Maybe we will see something like U Instant: Scry 1, then draw a card? Its basically a functional reprint of Opt, a card that never caused any problems.

Opt (or at least a functional reprint) seems like a safe bet. I don't think Serum Visions really fit the flavor, and I doubt we'll see a functional reprint of that. I would be shocked if they reprinted Preordain.
Also Bow of Nylea is just silly.

Okay, so the Desecration Demons that I set aside last night mysteriously weren't there at the stores opening today. But I did walk away with some stuff that I needed.

Desecration Demon is my favorite card right now. That and Ranger's Guile.
They never see Guile coming. It's hilarious.

Thankfully I already have a play set but I was hoping to score another for a buck a piece. Greedy, I know.
He's almost certainly in Set 2. They always have a "returning" character/planeswalker in that set.
Madness.

Not just limited. Reverent Hunter looks like a lot of fun in a Simic deck. I have a Prime Speaker Zegana EDH deck that'll love it.

If you can. Thanks Hexproof! Now invulnerable to wipes, on curve!
I bet Zur's banned as a commander.

Probably should be as it is. He leads to terribly degenerate things already, and that's before a block of enchantments are printed.

That's boss.
EDIT: Theros version is being pre-sold on Ebay for $25 each.

Yeah, even my friend who plays the "80 tokens on turn 5" Rhys the Redeemed deck doesn't break out Zur anymore.
That sounds about what it should be going for.
I'll be following it's price. It's not really a "staple" in Modern (Jund is the only deck that plays it), and it has zero casual/EDH appeal. I don't think it will pull a Snapcaster and keep a $20+ tag in its run in standard, unless it becomes a 4-of in the best deck (and I think its more of a sideboard card)
That said, I see the Lorwyn on TANKING.
I think I know why Revenant Hunter isn't 'pushed' at 1GG, doesn't have first strike, etc. Even with a nut draw he's a 'who cares' vanilla 6/6, and that's if your opponent is just sitting there doing nothing.
But BTE is still in standard. Devotion to green and red are really unsafe right now.
One-creature lifeline is cool.

Bit less than average.
Seemed to be unbeatable on my first two matches, though I admit it's not very stable of a deck.
I mean I'd rather play decks like this than to draft safe
Tiiii-iiiiime is on my side, yes it is!

It's a shame you got a Cauldron and two Angelic Accords but no Tenacious Dead. That's the gift that keeps on giving.

Help me with a deck evaluation, please. Here is what I'm currently running.

I want to add Rakdos Charm to my sideboard but for what it is I think it's pretty solid but wouldn't mind an opinion on it.
