Can't wait

[Imdowd80]

I can't wait till the first. I've got 2 decks brewing in my brain that needs gatecrash.
Anyone else who is counting the minutes till they can get boxes and fat packs?

Can't wait to trade all my janky rares for Shocklands! I need like 6 {Godless Shrine} to finish some decks.

[G33kL0rd]

I need some shock lands and hopefully {Duskmantle Seer}s, and I'm really looking forward to {Dimir Charm}, it may just be my favorite instant/sorcery ever!  If not, it's on my top 5, but only because it doesn't draw... Also the milling in Gatecrash looks awesome too.   So basically I want every Dimir card and nothing else, except maybe a {Breeding Pool} or {Godless Shrine}.  Or maybe a {Blind Obedience}, too.

[Dudecore]

I'm just going to trade everything I open for Shocklands, they're really the only things I want. {Blind Obedience} for my Esper deck would be nice, it's an actual decent control card for once.

I am putting together a naya aggro for Dennis to pilot till the next set comes out. I personally will run Tfog, Auras, or Esper control (maybe even {burn at the stake}/{massive raid} combo), and we ate still deciding what Danny will play. Since it's all from the same collection I have to have all the shocks, but Im not desperate for very many other rares.

I need to have:
5 {watery grave} have 2
4 {temple garden} have 4 but need 4 more
4 {sun petal grove} have 4 but need 4 more
4 {stomping ground} have 2
2 {obzedat, ghost council} have 2 yay!
4 {godless shrine} have 2 and a FOIL!
4 {breedig pool} have 3
4 {sacred foundry} have 0
4 {blind obiediance} have 2 or 3
4 {legion loyalist} have 3
4 {firemane avenger} have 1
4 {frontline medic} have 1
3 {aurelia's fury} need all 3 still
3 {merciless eviction} have 1

With those I be ready for standard competition and Ill pop prize packs and trad for the rest of what I want.

[Dudecore]

Once I open my boxes ill see you on the trading forum. Everything must go! Shocklands or bust!

[Silent1236]

Honestly, I just need shock lands

{Merciless Eviction} and {Blind Obedience} are ok too, and {Obzedat, Ghost Council} is amazing.

[Birdbrain]

Do you need shock lands to be competitive in standerd?

[Birdbrain]

Yes

-edit-
Unless you're playing mono colour

.....

Edit: so it's a tempo thing

[Kaleo42]

Do you need shock lands to be competitive in standerd?

For the most part, yes. The only top 8ing deck that doesnt need shocks is mono red. You might be able to make mono green or even black make it.

[Mikefrompluto]

The fact that they're good in all formats also helps with their desirability as well.

[Birdbrain]

So I guess I'm keeping my {stomping ground} then. I don't think I'm going to need my {sacred foundry}, but it's already promised to someone else. I there a way to make two color work without a shock land competitively?

Edit: I meant {sacred fountain}

[Mikefrompluto]

Of course decks can work without. It's just a matter of how competitive do you want to be. Nine times out of 10 a {watery grave} is a turn faster than a {drowned catacomb}. That one turn makes all the difference when you're competing.

Edit: I just saw where you said "competitively," making this whole post redundant. Ill let someone with more competition experience than me answer this one.

[Birdbrain]

In this case, I am looking for {breeding pool} {stomping grounds} and {sacred foundery}

Edit: what about mana auxiliary creatures like {Llanowar elves} or whatever there called?

{Arbor Elf} and shocks ftw
