    What did you trade for those because that's nuts.

    I traded my two Voice of Resurgence (had no need, since I was short a full playset), the Thoughtseize I cracked, a Godless Shrine, and a Temple of Silence.

    that person took you to the bank

    Not at all.

    $50 for foil Swan Song and $55-$60 for foil Xenagos.

    $70 for the two Voices, $10 for Godless Shrine, and $5 for the Temple. $25 for the Thoughtseize.

    Pretty even at the time, with lots of growth opportunity for my two foils.

    People who place a higher value on foils are the best people because it means a lucky person can get a suite of useful cards in exchange for one useful card that isn't actually any more valuable

    swan song will drop like a stone, and xenagoat probably ain't got the stuff to break into modern.

    card prices are always very, very, very inflated during the prerelease

    Swan song is onl $50 because it is literally the only one on txt player. Wait a week and it will be down to $20

    Also voice will maintain value forever thanks to eternal value

    swan song will probably park itself at a buck, maybe three for the foil

    grey merchant is gonna be 2 headed giant mvp at my store tomorrow night

    that and the white 1/4 for 3 that drains each opponent

    In 2 headed Giant, we ran one deck Mono black with 4 Gray Merchants and 2 rescue from the underworld with 3 Disciple of Phenax leading into it. Needless to say, fun was had by all. Well mainly us, not so much our opponents.

    Swan Song itself is useful in Legacy - possibly even in Vintage - and those players looooooooove their foils.

    Eh, Thoughtseize is fucking great and trading even one away is a bummer. I'd love a playset of that.

    Sold my collection today. I only got 220 and while I'm pretty sure I got ripped off, the guy was super dismissive and barely price checked anything, there's only one other place around here to sell in bulk like that is over an hour and a half away. Oh well ce la vie

    Yeah, he barely looked at my rares or mythics, just looked into my boxes of uncommons that weren't sorted like the money ones and didn't even open my common boxes. He was also rude as hell. It sucks but eh, I'm out of the life

    I pulled a Thassa and two Nykthos, then traded some other stuff for a Curse of the Swine and Daxos so I am pretty happy so far

    Now I just need a Colossus of Akros

    Went 2-2 at my pre release. I went boros weenie, Fabled Hero, 3 favored hoplites among other good heroic 1/2 drops with plenty of spells. Stomped my first 2 opponents before they could even do anything. 1st loss was to a guy who stalled me out long enough to drop 3 of those 6/5 trample foxes, what the fuck. @nd loss was to R/G. It was simply faster than mine, with bigger creatures once he had the mana, something I didn't have, just curved way better. Didn't open anything crazy, but got a few good cards, dimir scry land, anger the gods, rare murder. Pretty decent day.

    I'm loving theros, can't wait to draft this friday.

    if your counterspell costs mana in vintage, it isn't good enough. Vintage is hella degenerate.

    My brother went to today's pre-release, and also got first place 4-0! We are the kings of Theros.

    Also, it turns out that we're only getting half of the prizes this week. They'll be giving us the rest next week, so that's another 6 packs between the two of us.

    That makes a lot more sense. Still a bit on the low end, but that (hopefully) just means they give out prizes deep in the standings.

    I think the worst thing in a magic tourney is having a quick last game or a bye and then not being able to figure out if you'll get a prize until all the games are done and you just sit around waiting for the possibility of getting nothing.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    my pool for 2hg prerelease was a lot less awful, we got what we intended

    went 2-2 due to playing against even more broken pools. one had double purphoros, erebos, and a cerberus. the other has triple grey merchant + whip

    but I'm a couple thoughtseizes and a bunch of other stuff richer so whatever

    do not play the satyr it is really bad

    the jackal pup effect will make it unable to do anything or get you killed or make peoples' removal even better against you

    also my friend and I may have stumbled into a really good black based aggro deck playing x4 mogis' marauder because its totally insane that the internet doesnt seem to know about yet

    I have it proxied out and I might blindside the release weekend starcity open with it

    So I went 4-1-1 at the prerelease yesterday, going BUG colors. Had a heart of the cards moment when I topdecked the flying bestow creature to target my hero that taps stuff in order to get through the opponent's flying creature and deal 12 damage when I was at ONE LIFE AND THEY HAD AN UNBLOCKABLE CREATURE.

    Never sell to a dealer if you aren't hard-up on cash. Sell online and piece it out.
