Hey everyone. I don't know how many of you uys play Magic the Gathering TCG but I am in need of a few cards. Actually I am in want of a few cards to trade to my friend so he can give me a few cards I need... But I am not old enough to buy things online. If any of you happen to have one of the following cards I would be much obliged (and more than willing to trade for whatever I have of interest);
Meekstone (artifact)
Treva the Renewer (Invasion Dragon Legend; Blue, White and Green)
Draco (Artifact Dragon Legend)
Platinum Angel(Artifact Angel; Mirodin)
If anyone has one or more than one of these cards they are willing to trade I would be ever so happy. Thanks.
-
This topic should be in the CCG board.
-
yes, it should.
BUt I do have a meekstone, I think. Possibly two. What sorts of fun legends do you have for trade?
I typically play blue, green and white when I play at all, which isn't often. (incidentally, this is why if I had a Treva, you wouldn't get it from me)
-
Well, First off how do I go about moving to topic and second off tell me you want and I will see what I can do. Or will just about any green/blue/white cards do it?
-
you wait for Tage to see it and do soemthing about it.
I don't have many preferences. I like cards that do cool things. By "cool" i don't necessarily mean "crush my enemies beneath my heals." I mean "Hey, that sounds like it'd make the game interesting." Often times, that means legends. Legends are kinda neat.
Basically, I'm not looking for specific cards. I play a lot of enchantments and life gain stuff (changing the nature of the game and prolonging it, basically). I play with a lot of land so expensive spells don't bother me. Basically, find some of your "neat" or "cool" cards that you're willing to trade for it, and let me know the names. I'll look 'em up and see what I'm willing to do.
-
I have a Platinum Angel that I would be willing to trade, and I'm likely to be interested in the same stuff SE is. So give us a list and we'll see what we like.
-
okay, I will post a list of cards you may be interested in sometime tommorow, I need to look through them, so time is needed. Just Blue/Green/White? Or would you be interested in some fun red/black/artifact cards as well?
-
I think I've made ONE red deck, and it had a lot of blue too. Sort of a direct strike/counterspell combination. I think my only black deck ever involved shadow. I had only shadow. Nothing else. It got smacked around a lot, since in big games people saw it as an immediate threat (well it was, I could start hitting my opponents very early in the game while they had to wait to get cards they liked to hit each other). So other than making me the only targetable player in the early game, it was fun.
So I'm not particularly interested in black or red, myself. Plenty of burn spells, thanks (speaking of whcih, I have extra fireballs and disintegrates...)
Artifacts I can deal with, if they're cool enough. You'd think I could use more artifact since my big deck has a good chance of getting the wrong mana early, and artifacts would give me playable spells, but so far that hasn't typically been an issue. Any artifacts would fall under the same "cool" criteria I mentioned earlier.
-
I love every color equally. Well, at least when it comes to cool cards.
-
Okay, I did a grand total of 2 minuites searching (yay for me!) and went through a grand total of less than 40 cards, and forgot most of them... :(... I should write these things down. But I did run across some fun and/or rare artifacts, namely two;
Infinant Hourglass; Add one counter to it per turn, effects all creatures in play, all creatures get +1/0 per counter on infanant hourglass, any player may remove a counter from infinant hourglasss at any time for three any color mana. I believe it costs 4 to be put in play. don't know what edition it is from.
Fountain of Youth; Costs 0 to put in play, tap two mana of any color(s) and tap Fountain of Youth, gain one life (hooray!). The flipside to this is that it is an arabian nights card and hasn't been in print for many a year, so should be decently valuable at this point.
Oh, and if you guys have any "fun" or "crush my enemy with one swift stroke" cards laying around you are willing to trade I have an excess of cards and recources to look through if there is something else you could use... I am kinda very broke right now and can no longer afford (or haven't been for well over a year) to buy cards so I am more than happy to trade with anyone...
Oh, and kany dragons specifically would be much obliged or "fun and/or strong" bird types. Anyway, I will spend some more time looking throug cards currently not in use for ya'll.
-
I can look. I have 5000-6000 cards, most of them at least a few years old. I would like to have a list, but you can see why I can't just sit down in an afternoon and type it up.
I have an Infinite Hourglass, and I've used it before. THat exactly the type of "cool" I was talking about. However, I don't need a second one.
I'll think about Fountain of Youth. I don't care that much about the monetary value of cards, and that's semi expensive in terms of casting cost for each application. However, that doesn't mean I don't think it's neat.
-
I consider the rarity of a card less for it's monetary value and more for its "it's not very likely someone else will have this card" value. But yeah, I could use a list, but my boxes are scattered, and I have like 5 decks to go through as well if I wanted to go through all of them it would take me at least a grand total of 10 hours, so I choose to take the lazy path...
-
I've got something Fell wants. ;)
Got any offers for the rats, Fell? I was talking with Jordan recently, and we thought of a card you might have, being somewhat Oddesey heavy. Breaking Point?
It doesn't have to be a rare, although I think the rats will be trading in the low-rare category just due to the nature of the card. If you don't have Breaking Point, suggest something. I'll likely take it.
-
I've got a Breaking Point, and I'm almost there...just kidding. Yes, I have one, though I might be reticent to trade it straight across for the rats. Maybe toss in some common like Lose Hope, and you've got a deal.
And while we're on the subject: everyone within the sound of my typing be advised that I am collecting Relentless Rats, and I need as many as I can get my hands on. If you happen to have any, let me know.
-
Sure I can get you Lose Hope or something. I've got one right here on the table next to me.
With the pair of Myr Matrices I picked up on Saturday, I'm in the market for Myr, myself. Myr Servitors (3) and Suntouched Myr (2). Myr Quadropod (2) as well, I guess. Wayfarer's Bauble too...lots of those. I wouldn't trade over common for those, but if there are other 5D commons people want, I've got a lot of Batons of Courage.
Fell, do you remember opening a Pentad Prism for me when we went through my boosters? I was certain you said I got one, but I'm not finding it now.
Is there anything other people are looking for specifically? It sounds like we'll be able to do at least a little trading next Saturday. (Off-topic: I'd be all for an Emperor game of Magic as well. Or any other kind, but Emperor sounds fun.) For tradeable Fifth Dawn rares, I picked up:
Silent Arbiter
2 Reversal of Fortune
2 Magma Giant
Rite of Passage
Auriok Champion
Beacon of Destruction
Tornado Elemental
Crucible of Worlds
Lots of other stuff from earlier sets as well, but those are most likely the hot items at least until Fifth Dawn releases for real.
Big 5D stuff I'm looking for:
Mephidross Vampire (Fell wants to make rats, I want to make Vampires)
Clearwater Goblet
Raksha Golden Cub
Summoner's Egg
Fist of Suns
Other things too, of course.
8th ed. Glorious Anthem
Soul Collector (Not Prerelease version)
-
I've got at least one Suntouched Myr, and a couple of Quadropods. Those combined with Slagwurm Armor won me two games on Saturday.
-
so, i'm out there soon. No one wants me to scan my collection for cool cards? I'm not going to bring my whole collection, that's insane.
-
Sure I wouldn't mind. I'm more or less interested in just about any kind of card, although I try hard to stay Invasion block and up. I'm sure that there's got to be something in the newer blocks you'd be interested in.
Do we know what our rough schedule of events looks like? I've been hearing that we're planning on a big Heroclix bash, but I'd still like to try an Emperor game of Magic as well. Just need format rules (normal Constructed or 100/3) and a team.
-
I think we're talking about the schedule here (http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1083643228;start=75)
-
Uh, I no longer need anything on that list. Got it all. However, I would ALWAYS be in the game for Vampires and related goodies. If anyone wants something that is around invasion or *possibly* higher I may have it. So, anyone got some goodies?
-
And, of couse, I would love any 0-casting cost artifacts or the like. You know, so I can make my land-less deck someday.
-
oh, yeah, i still have those ones I pulled out for you before.
-
Ok, listing a couple things I'm interested in, aside from the general 'cool stuff':
Invasion:
Death or Glory
Do or Die
Spirit of Resistance
Twilight's Call
Planeshift:
Cloud Cover
Dark Suspicions
Draco
Eladamri's Call
Tahngarth, Talruum Hero
Apocalypse:
Fervent Charge
Lightning Angel
Symbiotic Development
Powerstone Minefield
Odyssey:
Patron Wizard
Torment:
Hypnox
Laquatus's Champion
Judgment:
Crush of Wurms
Silver Seraph
Spelljack
Onslaught:
Astral Slide
Butcher Orgg
Jareth, Leonine Titan
Rorix Bladewing
Silklash Spider
Silvos, Rogue Elemental
Visara the Dreadful
Scourge:
Bladewing the Risen
Eternal Dragon
Forgotten Ancient
Soul Collector
8th:
Call of the Wild
Glorious Anthem
Trade Routes
Mirrodin:
Gilded Lotus
Plated Slagwurm
Platinum Angel
Triskelion
Worldslayer
Some of these I'm doubtful that people would trade away, but there it is anyway.
-
I'm pretty sure I have at least one or two of those. I'll check.
incidentally, I have mine all sorted alphabetically by color, so if you know the colors, that makes my search faster.
-
I have a good number of those, I think. Call of the Wild, Butcher Orgg, Crush of Worms, an dis that "Death or Glory" or "Death" or "Glory"?
-
well, I was leaving this open
but I leave in 3.5 hours and haven't slept. So... I'm not looking through my cards. we'll just have to trade long distance
-
Death or Glory is a single card. The Invasion block had a number of cards that required one player to split a certain group of permanents or other cards into two piles and the other player to pick a pile to apply an effect to. Do or Die, the other 'piles' card I mentioned just flat-out kills one pile of an opponent's creatures. Incidentally, the most famous one of the cards was Fact or Fiction, as it made tournament-grade play.
Death or Glory in particular takes all the creature cards in your graveyard, has the opponent split them into two piles, and then you select a pile. The selected creature cards come back into play, while the rest are removed from the game. I've been trying to gather white reanimation effects on the side for a while. They don't hold a HUGE amount of stock with me, but I think non-black reanimation like Breath of Life (sadly not in 8th Edition) spells are cool.
SE won't be replying for a while I expect since he won't have his cards handy, but do you have a want list I can take a look at & a listing of the cards I'm after you've got?
-

Lightning Angel
Powerstone Minefield
you know what I like. What can you offer?
-
I want some Elvish Pipers and maybe a Draco or two. If anyone has them give me a list of what you might trade them for or tell me what you are looking for and I will see what I can do. Thanks.
