I don't have iMtG anymore, so I dunno what the app says it's worth. My best estimate: A couple thousand? It's probably doubled since I put it together. I know what I paid for {Underground Sea}, and that is up triple. Even {Liliana of the Veil} is double what I paid. Stupid little things like {Mystic Gate} are about 7x what I paid for it. Ect. ect. But yeah, conservative estimate about $3000.

This deck has just about my favorite cards ever printed. So I wanted them in foil. It's also an investment, as foils usually always hold value through reprints. That being said, playing Magic is the most expensive it has ever been. The {Demonic Tutor} Judge Foil was $40 about 2 years ago. You don't want to know what I paid for it -.-

A wee bit less. But yeah, nearly 5x what it was worth 2 years ago. Craziness.
{Return to Dust} has to change to Utter End (http://mythicspoiler.com/ktk/cards/utterend.jpg) right? I lose the 2 for 1; I gain planeswalkers and creatures.
Quote from: Dudecore on September 03, 2014, 08:21:33 PMI'll wait on the big stuff till GP San Jose then....
You're going to build my list? My suggestions are get the cheap stuff first. Prices rise every day and the market can be volatile. Some "cheap" foils can be EDH staples the next day. If not, they're cheap.
Reserve list stuff will never be printed again, there is no good time to track it down. You can actually afford to do some auctions on eBay. You're not in any sort of rush. I'd say 90% of the time you'll be good bidding up to the cheapest Buy It Now price, and get it cheaper.
I also got a number of things from Grand Prix and Pro Tours. The ChannelFireball booth and Star City Games booths can be convinced that their cards might not be in ideal condition, you can haggle with them in person. :P
Quote from: Dudecore on September 03, 2014, 08:33:22 PMWhere would I find a list of magic trade shows? Do they even exist? :P
Well the vendors at the events know the markups I presume, and like most good salesmen - aren't going to let you leave over a couple of bucks. Some event staples I'm sure they're more hard line with. Older cards - like the {Serra's Sanctum} I got at the same event - are below eBay price.
Maybe if you go to a trade show or something like that. Pretty much anywhere you don't have to pay retail

Well there is some kind of comic convention every weekend it seems. Channel Fireball has a retail store in Santa Clara. You can haggle with them at the game store. I normally don't at my LGS, because he orders me stuff and sells it MSRP - I don't want to piss off that hookup :)

Have you considered running {lethal vapors}??
I know it can be easily destroyed by one of your opponents, but I've noticed in my time with {temporal extortion} that no one ever wants to be the one to take the fall. Even when it is very advantageous to do so.
Seems like a creatureless deck would really love this card :p
Quote from: Hexproof_is_the_best on September 24, 2014, 10:56:02 PMThe player who activates it (probably not you) is the one who skips their turn. The "you" is the activator of the ability, which according to the card can be anyone.Quote from: Gocougs509 on September 24, 2014, 10:50:43 PM

I don't know dudecore's meta very well but it seems really bad in any game with an aggro deck. It basically reads; 2BB skip your next turn

Quote from: Dudecore on September 24, 2014, 11:06:03 PM
That's the hitch. The opponent who pays for it loses their turn. I think it is a bit costly, I prefer {Tainted Γther} or {Spreading Plague} if I'm spending the mana. Although if you play {Pithing Needle} naming {Lethal Vapors} no one can activate the ability.:P
Quote from: Dudecore on September 24, 2014, 11:17:44 PMThat's awesome I love combos like that. And yea I would agree the vapors don't seem great but maybe try them in your meta and see how it works out. Worst case scenario you're down 50 cents and up a lethal vapors
To go deeper, if you're in a game state you cannot lose, let's say {Platinum Angel} is indestructible and Hexproof, you can active {Lethal Vapors} 100 times, skip 100 turns and deck your opponent.
It's a cool card, I just prefer others :)
Quote from: Dudecore on October 02, 2014, 11:18:49 PM
I keep talking myself into {Heliod, God of the Sun} and then talk myself right out of it. I love Token Generators in a Stax deck, the tokens are expensive but do juice {Sphere of Safety}. I also really like Indestrucible creatures because of {Spreading Plague}. But he's expensive, fairly difficult to get Devotion, Vigilance is nice but I wouldnt pay extra for it.
Basically I want to know if anyone runs, what is his utility range and do you think it has a place in this deck?
Quote from: Gocougs509 on October 02, 2014, 11:32:26 PMI think sorins pretty solid. He produces a butt ton of tokens for the same CMC as Heliod, and if you get his emblem, they become stronger as well.Quote from: Dudecore on October 02, 2014, 11:18:49 PM

I think Heliod definitely deserves a spot. You don't seem to have a whole ton of creatures here, so he works great as a beater himself, or as a supplier for your army of 2/1 enchantment creatures :p Plus having the trifecta of gods is awesome. These are the cards that upon first glance appear to be a bit underwhelming to me, I'm sure one of them could be removed to make room for him.
{Tormods crypt}
{trading post}
{ill-gotten gains}
{seal of clensing}
{Elspeth Knight-errant}
{Sorin Lord of innistraad}
Quote from: Dudecore on October 03, 2014, 08:09:28 PMI'm not a hundred percent sure you wre referring to me when you said do either if you play Heliod but anyways, I don't personally but my friend (dimiroverlord on here) plays him in his Derevi stax deck. He works pretty well although his lock down method is more stasis/winter orb stuff and so the relevant part is the vigilance, although the soldiers are nice extra untap triggers. Getting on to being relevant, I do not play Heliod but have seen him preform really well in decks at FNM or just in videos online. Inherent indestructibility is really nice, so check that off. Generating tokens that can hit stuff and block is awesome. Giving whatever other stuff you have vigilance is also awesome, vigilance tends to be really underrated.
I was thinking of dropping {Sun Titan}, only because he is not indestructible and 6 mana is a lot for me. I really start to get uncomfortable around 5+. Which is why I never added {Elspeth, Sun's Champion}. I was also running {Dark Confidant} at the time.
Sorin is good, Elspeth is better-er. Her emblem is perfect for Stax. Her tokens are worse but she has 2 good abilities.
Do either of you actually play {Heliod, God of the Sun}? I would like to hear how opponents react, or what kind of weirdness you can do with it.
{Seal of Cleansing} gets some recursion with {Sun Titan}, gets around {In the Eye of Chaos} and works with {Replenish}. My other recourse would be run {Disenchant} or {Council's Judgment}. A case could be made for either.
{Tormod's Crypt} can be changed into {Nihil Spellbomb} like it was before. Nihil costs more, but draws me a card if no one is interactive with their graveyard.
{Trading Post} is really a good way to gain some life back and draw cards. It is a really good EDH card imo. But If the situation arises where I cut {Sun Titan} add {Heliod, God of the Sun} then I can possibly cut {Trading Post} and add {Skullclamp}.
I've worked out a lot of deck permutations in my head. I really look at making the best deck possible for me. I don't want to start adding combos and stuff. I want to build my own little bubble and draw cards, with no real wincon.
