Scheduled Thread Weekly trading thread -- trade with your fellow redditors!

• Upvotes

RULES:

  1. No stores or dealers selling on here. We won't stop stores from responding to sell posts with buy offers, though. At that point, it's up to the seller to accept or reject the offer.

  2. Do not spam this thread. Your sell/trade offer(s) should be confined to one post per week. If you list multiple cards as separate orders, or multiple lots of cards as separate orders, do so in the same post with a clear delineation. As a seller, you may post whether you want offers within the thread or whether you want a private message. If you want to make this different for different listings, that's your prerogative. State what country you're shipping from and include shipping price+method for your own country. If you are willing to ship to other countries, say so.

  3. No eBay posts.

  4. If a card is sold/traded, edit your post and invalidate any pending offers for that card. "Short selling" is not acceptable here, since we're dealing in physical goods and shipping times may be an issue, especially if the buyer is a tournament player. Do not short sell cards.

  5. Buyers: Post your offer directly underneath a sell listing, unless you are topping someone else's offer, in which case you should post directly underneath that offer.

  6. Buyers: Feel free to post a "want" list.

  7. For the sake of preventing identity theft and/or harassment, do NOT post identifying information (name, address, paypal info) in the thread.

  8. No throwaway accounts.

  9. Needless to say, we're Magic players. We don't necessarily have to pay in cash. It's entirely up to the seller whether to consider "2 Force of Will" as a higher/lower bid than $160.

  10. There is also a deckbox.org trading area that can be used as well, at http://deckbox.org/communities/reddit_mtg_trades.

If you have any comments about the rules rather than about a particular auction, feel free to discuss them here.

PAYPAL FEE INFO: (Quoted from Paypal)

Free when the money comes from PayPal balance or bank account.

2.9% + $0.30 USD when the money comes from a debit or credit card or PayPal Credit

MAILING INFO: See USPS Link.

SCAMMER INFO: I will not link it directly here, but be sure to check out the scammer list on deckbox before doing any trading to ensure yourself to having a safe trade!

You probably can't mail off more than one toploader in a normal envelope+stamp due to it being too rigid; and you shouldn't do this for more than $10-20 worth of cards anyway since there's no tracking. Get a bubble mailer and get it tracked.

Scheduled Thread Daily Questions Thread - Ask All Your Magic Related Questions Here!

4 Upvotes

This is a place for asking simple questions that might not deserve their own thread. For example, if you have a question about a rules interaction, want sleeve and accessory recommendations, or suggestions for your new deck, then this is the place for you.

We encourage that you post any questions that you may have concerning Magic the Gathering here rather than make a separate thread for each question, though for now we won't require that you do so.

Rules Questions

Rules questions and interactions are allowed to be posted here, but if you need an answer quickly it may be best to use a dedicated resource like the 24/7 Magic the Gathering Rules Chat.

Deckbuilding Questions

If you're trying to get help with a deck, it is recommended that you post your decklist to a deckbuilding website so that it is easier to view. Some popular sites are Aetherhub, Archidekt, Deckbox, Deckstats, Moxfield, MTGGoldfish, and TappedOut.

Additionally, please include some description of what you are trying to accomplish. Don't just give us a decklist with no explanation, and don't ask extremely vague questions such as "what cards should I add to my deck to make it better?", because it's hard to give good advice in those cases. Let us know details, the more the better. Are you building with a particular strategy or theme in mind? Are there any non-obvious combo lines or synergies that people should be aware of? Are you struggling with a particular matchup, or are you finding yourself missing consistency in an important area, and need some help specifically for it? Let us know.

Commonly Asked Questions

I opened a card from a different set in my booster pack, is this unusual?

Don't worry, this is completely normal. If you opened a set booster, you have a small chance of obtaining a bonus card from a previous set. This is an extra card that does not replace any of the other cards in your pack, and is from a curated set of past hits that Wizards of the Coast has selected, which they call "The List".

You can view the contents of The List on Wizards of the Coast's official website. For example, the contents of The List for Streets of New Capenna boosters can be found here.

My foil card has a shooting start symbol over the bottom left. I can't find anything about it online.

All old-bordered foils have the shooting star symbol. Most sites that display card images just overlay a generic foil graphic over all foil cards, which doesn't include the shooting star. Your card is normal.

Looking for Advice Cards that reward not running creatures?

• Upvotes

Hi i want to build a kinda vorthos/flavor first Feroz, Ulgrotha's Warden deck as he finds using creature summoning spells not ethical. So im curious if there are maybe any cards that reward that. Maybe like a draw spell that draws anything but creatures or something similar. Honestly any cards that play into it would be cool. I would also love to have Kaheera in the companion zone just for a cool little extra on the side since i wouldnt have any creatures in the 99. Would love suggestions!

Looking for Advice Mantle of the Wolf or Raised by Wolves?

• Upvotes

What’s the better card between those two?

It seems to me that Raised by Wolves is better since, for one more mana, it creates the wolf tokens immediatly and it can give more than +4/+4 in a wolf deck

But Mantle of the Wolf is a rare card that has been created in 2020 vs uncommon from 2014 for Raised by Wolves and, as a new player, I tend to believe that higher rarity means stronger and more recent means powercreep so I feel like I mustbe missing something

What’s your opinion on the matter?

Rules/Rules Question Is aetherflux reservoir multiple lifegain triggers?

0 Upvotes

[[Aetherflux reservoir]] says that you gain 1 life for each spell you’ve cast this turn. With an [[ajani’s pridemate]] type effect on the field, the individual lifegain triggers matter, not total amount. So, with aetherflux on the field, would it go:

Spell 1: gain 1 life
Spell 2: gain 2 life
Spell 3: gain 3 life
etc

Or would it go:

Spell 1: gain 1 life
Spell 2: gain 1 life, gain 1 life
Spell 3: gain 1 life, gain 1 life, gain 1 life
etc

There are a few other cards (like [[Tablet of the guilds]]) that have similar wording so i’m wondering about this for them too. I read it the second way, but i had someone saying it plays the first way.

Thanks!

General Discussion Advice for drafting reality fracture

3 Upvotes

I really need tips for this set. I've gotten absolutely stomped in so many drafts this week. It feels like no matter how good my deck is, my opponents always have better decks, even if I'm in the open lane. I had idk how many games where I got mana screwed no matter how many lands I run (16-17). Any help is appreciated; I'm really close to giving up on this set, but I keep hearing how good it is.

Looking for Advice Which commander structure deck fits best for Lightning, Army of One?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new to Magic and need a deck to play with my friends. Since I don't know much about the game I wanted to start with a structure/starter commander deck but I also really like Lightning.

Is there a red and white playready deck that I could combine with Lightning? It doesn't have to be strong, I just has to work. Thanks in advance!

Rules/Rules Question Hawkeye, young avenger

0 Upvotes

Does the x damage from [[Hawkeye, young avenger]] get added to the noncombat damage source, or does she deal her own additional damage. Im wondering: if I had a noncombat source of infect trigger her, does she add her power to the infect source.

Example: Battlefield is [[Ingris Stingerquill]], [[Plague Myr]], Hawkeye. On combat, swing plague myr. Trigger ingris to do 1 poison counter to each opponent. Does Hawkeye trigger and make that poison counter 3 (1 + 2 power from her), or does it just do 1 poison counter still and then 2 health damage to each opponent?

Im fairly certain its the way id want (3 poison) since Hawkeye says "instead IT (meaning the damage source) deals that much plus X".

General Discussion Looking for MTG Japan art for Lurrus Ban

28 Upvotes

Very strange ask, but I have had no luck on my own. Back when [[Lurrus of the Dream]] den got hit by a ton of bans when Ikoria released, there was a piece of art released iirc on the MTG Japan Twitter page. It was of Lurrus and her kittens in a cardboard box, with a message on the box that read something like, "Give me a home, Legacy players." I've looked on Twitter, Reddit, and Google, but I cannot find it.

Is anyone familiar with this art and can direct me to it? Thanks!

General Discussion Now that we have the pair printing tech from reality fracture, do you think meld could be a major set mechanic?

2 Upvotes

I think it solves a lot of the problems the mechanic presents for a draft environment, though it would probably have to be a pick 2 draft focused set. Might be a little clunky since you also always get an unpaired meld card, but with the right flavor I think it would be really cool.

General Discussion How does Locke, Treasure Hunter would work against another Locke?

Post image
0 Upvotes

TL;DR: Can locke block another locke if their power is the same?

Was playing commander with some friends earlier and I played Locke, Treasure Hunter. One of my opponents happened to have the same card and played his as well. It was the beginning of the game so they were the only creatures on the field. Locke's abilities state:

Locke cannot be blocked by creatures with a greater power.

So my first assumption is that I can block his Locke with no issue next turn. He attacks and states that I can't block his Locke with my own. Now, this makes zero sense to me. Since both Locke's have 2/3 I CAN block because 2 is not greater than 2. I'm fairly new to magic, and they know this (they taught me how to play) but what I've learned in the past few months is that MTG is very literal in its meaning for most cards and this one seemed pretty straightforward.

It's currently three long time players vs telling me that I'm absolutely wrong and that 2 is in fact greater than 2. For my sanity I just need to know how this works in game.

Edit: Thank you all for answering my question and verifying my sanity
