My attempt at standard

Very true but if you stick to the regulars on the forum you'll be fine. Of you're really scared ask them to send to a Mod. I think Gorzo doesn't mind being the middleman. This way he or another mod will wait until both halves have arrived to send them to you and your trade partner. It's just to stop things like that from happening

My major issue is if I am trading something, most of the time it will be from my shop. 

However, I am trying not to do that, if possible.  That's why I'm buying all the packs. haha.

I may have to just buy a case... just deciding on what set I want.

[Mattao19]

Again I recommend RTR or GTC

[Ertai]

Excellent suggestions. Thank you very much!

You've been so kind.

[Mattao19]

I try lol

[Rass]

Just a suggestion. If your doing a sealed you should use 6 packs. That is the normal/standard for a sealed tournament

[Ertai]

Yeah I know. Just lazy.

I ended up buying 12 packs of Gatecrash and RtR. Pulled eh cards. A shock land and some mythics.

I posted them in my trade binder.

Two {Godless Shrine}s, that's pretty good. They are worth $20.

That's what I thought, but tcg said they were 10$.

Idk if anyone uses w/b in standard.

i use white/black in standard. A black devotion/white-black extort deck (same deck ) the extort lets me keep my creatures back to build devotion while still damaging them and all my whites have some black cost to them

I know what you mean.

Thanks.

My manager would be very angry if I bought out all the playable standard cards. Haha

I would think he would thank you, I mean its still money in his pocket either way!

[Ertai]

And then he would ask me why I didn't buy them straight from my wholesaler. I wouldn't know what to say. Haha
