Ok I am going to start a thread and feel free to join and tell us about your deals. I am a budget shopper so I tend to buy pre-release cards that I feel are a great deal so here is what I got so far from eBay:
A playset of {cryptborn horror} for $4: http://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-spoiler/cryptborn-horror/
A playset of {collective blessing} for $2.50: http://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-spoiler/collective-blessing/
A playset of {grove of the guardian} for $2.50: http://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-spoiler/grove-of-the-guardian/
And ofcourse a common/uncommon playset for $35
Trying to find a variety pack but they all jumped in price
I'm thinking about buying a playset of Underworld Connections instead of trading for them when RtR release and saving my money for Gatecrash, as I'm more excited about that set than this one.

I was just looking on eBay, and saw those common/uncommon play sets. Think the price will go up if some cool uncommons and commons are spoiled?.

You think a common/uncommon playset set for $35 is worth it?
The prices of the common/uncommon play sets are totally worth it. I try to buy one every set. The odds of them fluctuating in value is very very low. These people just open so much product to chase rares/mythics they usually have dozens of these sets for sale. There are not really chase commons or uncommons. You can still get Innistrad - Datk Ascension - Avacyn Restored and M13 c/uc sets for the same price as when they came out.
The reason I suggest getting them is because it beats having to order them later on, and you never know what decks you'll want to make. Also, even in a booster box you're never guarenteed a playset of anything.
Edit: I'd recommend doing what cltrn did if you care about having the cards. You'll get 80% of the cards cheaper then buying a box. If you like opening packs, then more power to you. I save my pack opening for draft, leave the c/uc's on the table after drafting and let the kids have it.
I also spend probably $4,000 a year on mtg, so take this as you will.
Where'd you get it for 35

Seller? Was it buy it now or bid?
Whats a common/uncommon playset?
Quote from: izik99 on September 11, 2012, 09:23:37 PM
Whats a common/uncommon playset?
4x of every common/uncommon in the set. Not a bad buy. Considering doing it myself after seeing all the comments on here.

Ronscomicworld. Buy it now. He's got none more left.
I purchased it in August.
I might some {grove of the guardian} (only three cuz the selsenya promo is that) and maybe {wayfaring temple}. I'll probably trade with people after the tourney too.
Just picked up a full playset of RTR for $500.

I'm now SERIOUSLY debating getting the playset w/o mythics for $500. If I could get it WITH Mythics there'd be no debate.
Preordered a playset of {Cyclonic Rift} for $8 -.-
I don't agree with it at rare, but I wouldn't want to be without it either...

Actually, I was trying to buy a full playset w/out Mythics months before spoilers started and they were no where to be found. You could only find playsets w/ Mythics for around $900-$1000 or find the other normal stuff. Generally a playset w/out Mythics for any other set is $350-$400 but the dealers proly did not offer them given the likelihood of shocklands which is now obviously confirmed.
Did you seriously get a full playset with mythics for $500?
I'm incredulous.

I don't think Fishsticks has ever posted something that is truth. Haha
I thought he said set not playset.

Still...
You know what I'd like to see? A full play set (x4) of all w/o mythics, plus a set (x1) of just mythics. I'd easily take that.
Got 4 {precinct captain} for $5. Glad I waited cuz they came out the gate at $14 a playset.

I just got on this app to say the same thing. Playset for $5. Guess great minds do think alike.
Edit; got my {Counterflux} x4 for $10. Hopefully it was a good investment.
I for one am not a fan of 3 CMC counterspells, uncounterable or not. Maybe in EDH. Sorry Dudecore, not trying to rain on your parade....I'm just sayin is all ;)
Just bought a playset of {underworld connections} for $8.50. Pretty excited about that card.

I'm going to like it for Storm hate
Ok I need to stop watching......I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a playset of {Rakdos, lord of riots} for $30. I figure 3 for a regular deck and 1 for a commander deck. This guy will make an awesome commander!!!! I mean come on all my creatures cost 1 less for each life opponents lose this turn!!!!! Yes Please!!!
I swear this is the last purchase.
Hey I am working overtime, traveling, and getting paid per diem and mileage. So I can splurge right? YUP

Lol that's why you cannot have "our bank account". Or if you do have a stipend of $XXX to a different account each check.

They really are a great deal.
Got a playset of {Rest in Peace} for $10. Figure it'll get some play, probably go down to around $1.40 a card. Either way, this is a card I need for constructed. Early game hoser, shuts down a lot of decks.
Doesn't cantrip, loses value the further away you are from drawing it, still solid.
Just ordered a playset of {izzet guildgate} for $2.40 shipped. Figured that would be easier/cheaper than trading for/buying {steam vents} or {sulfur falls} since everything of value I have is already being used in decks 😢😢😢. I'll probably crack and buy one of the two anyways.
Guildgates are genius! Non-Bounceland Common Dualies? Count me in! Run Commons until you get the Rares! They're not Shocks or Block Duals, but I dig 'em!

They're a great alternative for someone who can't get the real things. Or even if you do have the other ones, they're still great. The possibility of having 12 two color either/or lands? Yes please.

That card is bananas.
Does anyone know any sites based in the UK for these sets? Maybe even Europe somewhere I can only seem to find US sellers and postage is a bitch!
Go on eBay and limit the search?
So far I ordered a common/uncommon play set. I got two Jarads for a dollar a piece. And I ordered jarads orders play set for 3 bucks.
