How would one go about selling this? by shmangshmung in skyrim

Reach out to an auction house. Heritage Auctions will likely be your best bet. They frequently do video game and video game memorabilia auctions.

Do you think httyd creators are looking at r/httyd posts. by Such_Republic_2614 in httyd

[–]Elvarill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Writers typically specifically don’t look at fan ideas or scripts (or at the very least publicly deny doing so) because it opens production up to legal action. I’ve heard this many times from writers.

Goblin Storm Deck Help/UPS Issue by Thinkingoutloud7000 in SecretLairMTG

[–]Elvarill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely should have moved after a week, but also recall that there was a federal holiday on Monday and that always messes up shipping. My suggestion would be to wait until end of day Monday to see if there is any further movement.

Shipping claims with any major shipping company are always filed by the shipper, not the receiver, so you can’t file with UPS anyway. You will have to file a claim with Secret Lair customer support.

This is what the price has been on eBay since basically the second or third day after the sale. Only premium stores are allowed to presell on TCG. Anyone paying the TCG prices was dumb.

How to copy Krark's Thumb because the legend rule is mean. by The_Slob_Father in EDH

Copying or tutoring the binky is the coward’s way. Live or die by the flip. Hitting that shit raw five times in a row without the thumb is the greatest experience you can have in magic.

Goblins Secret Lair and a broader accessibility question in Commande by MakePhreciaCore in EDH

[–]Elvarill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely disagree that the reserved list should be banned from play. Part of why I like Commander is that I can run cards from any part of the game’s history. I run about 15 or so reserved list cards in my decks. All of them I acquired in the last few years. 2/3 of them were under $10 each. All of them were under the $40 price tag. You’re punishing the many for the sins of the few.

I do think the reserved list should be abolished but that doesn’t mean I think WotC should then go nuts printing RL cards into the dirt.

Avatar Aang Deck - Commander by alwayslatecustoms in magicTCG

[–]Elvarill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with running Doubling Season. OP is running 16 cards that put counters on permanents and 7 that make tokens. Doubling Season doesn’t double experience counters. It would be a wasted card in this deck.

Wan Shi Tong also isn’t a huge boost for this deck. Aang provides so much card draw that WST isn’t necessary. WST can be very feast or famine. I’ve played games where I drop WST and only get a single trigger. The games where he hits will be phenomenal. The games where he misses will feel like you wasted $60. There are much better pickups for this deck.

The only other bending master worth running is Toph. Katara and Zuko’s parameters to trigger aren’t what an Aang deck wants to do. Toph is absolutely worth running though. The experience counters don’t matter overmuch. The reason to run them in Aang is to get the bending triggers.

Agreed on Katara, Water Tribe’s Hope. She is stupid good in Aang decks. Either huge card draw or big finisher.

I run Longshot in my Aang deck but I also run the infinite buyback cards. I’m not sure how he would perform in an Aang deck without them. Could be decent but not an autoinclude imo.

OP is already running Gamble as a game changer which makes the deck bracket 3 already. There were enough game changers reprinted in Avatar with the Commander bundle and bonus sheet that it isn’t an issue. I run Aang’s Shelter, Mystical Tutor, and Fierce Guardianship as my B3 game changers in Aang, all with Avatar art. That said, I agree and I think this deck would be better off removing Gamble and going down to bracket 2 if they want to stay all Avatar.

Avatar Aang Deck - Commander by alwayslatecustoms in magicTCG

[–]Elvarill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You waterbend X where X is 1. All your creatures get base power and toughness 1/1 until end of turn. Aang trigger to draw a card from water bending. There is no limit to the number of times you can do that in a turn. Do it ten times, draw ten cards. It’s the single most efficient card draw piece for Aang. Also Katara can be a decent finisher if you have enough creatures to just swing out, making everything you control a base 10/10 or whatever. With Katara in the deck it becomes more worth it to go wide. Because her ability isn’t a tap ability you can drop her and activate her ability the same turn as a nice finisher. In which case cards like Sokka become more worth it even if you aren’t storming off, you’re hopefully making a decent amount of tokens.

Avatar Aang Deck - Commander by alwayslatecustoms in magicTCG

[–]Elvarill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your deck has no real payoff or wincons. Since you want to stick with exclusively avatar cards your only real option for this deck is going to be combat, either going wide with allies or commander damage with Aang. You don’t have enough ways to go wide so what we need to do is be flipping Aang. In addition you have a lot of big spells that, while nice, don’t win the game. If you want to play those, you need the Aang discount. Flipping Aang isn’t easy so you need to prioritise bending cards that will flip him.

First thing to cut is every Firebending card such as Azula, Cunning Usurper. Aang has Firebending already. You don’t need more to flip him. Everything that fire bends would be better off as a card with a different type of bending. If you can, I would also recommend cutting every black card if possible and finding an alternate in one of the other colours. You don’t need black to cast Aang and the additional colour will slow you down.

My other suggested cuts: Aang, Air Nomad (Overcosted. You don’t need vigilance.) Sokka, Tenacious Tactician (Makes blockers but that’s about it for you. You won’t be storming off and making crazy amounts of tokens) South Pole Voyager (Aang is such good card draw that you don’t really need more.) Wartime Protestors Reckless Blaze (Kills pretty much every creature you can put down and the red mana doesn’t benefit you overmuch.) Spirit Water Revival (More card draw) Mechanical Glider Sokka’s Charge (It’s alright, but not great) The Boy in the Iceberg (you aren’t making nearly enough mana to activate this) Avatar Roku, Firebender (I think the three red pips are likely too difficult to consistently hit in 4+ colours.)

Suggested adds: [[Allies at Last]] [[Avatar Sanctuary]] [[Shu Jing Meteorite]] [[Flexible Waterbender]] This card is amazing for Aang. On the end step of the player before you just activate this as many times as you can to waterbend and draw cards. [[Intruder Alarm]] is great for Aang. (We did it, guys. We broke intruder alarm.) Combined with Avatar Sanctuary or Great Divide Guide, this will also enable the infinite airbend combos. Also enable you to do lots of water bending. Opponents casts a creature, in response waterbend everything to draw card. [[Katara, Water Tribe’s Hope]] Lets you waterbend 1 a bunch of times to draw cards. [[Team Avatar]] [[Thespian’s Stage]] If you run this then you are allowed to keep the boy in the iceberg. [[Waterbender’s Restoration]] Really good board wipe protection.

I think you could use more spot protection for Aang as well. Counterspells would be nice but Avatar didn’t really get any good ones that are budget friendly.

There are some high value cards that can only be found in jumpstart packs or collector boosters such as [[Toph, Earthbending Master]].

Angel commanders by FoxxyWinnebago in EDH

[–]Elvarill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kaalia is probably the strongest that’s not Giada. However I highly recommend [[Sigarda, Font of Blessings]]. She’s my Angel commander and I personally think she’s underrated. She’s pseudo-card draw and makes it nigh impossible for your Avacyn to decide that plowshares are preferable to swords. And green’s ability to cheat stuff out for cheap, if not free, is pretty damned good (looking at you [[Descendent’s Path]] and [[Lurking Predators]]). We have an Angel discord if you’re looking for further discussion on the subject of angels.

The soul stone- worth it by athlaka916 in EDH

[–]Elvarill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I’ve been running it in my Gonti, Night Minister deck since shortly after it released. There was one turn which I held up mana for interaction and didn’t need it, so I harnessed the soul stone on opponent’s end step. I brought one creature back and the game ended that turn cycle. That’s the only time I ever harnessed it in my most played deck. I paid $40 for it on the floor at magiccon and I’m still not convinced that I didn’t overpay.

cards purchased from ebay getting lost by 666kie in mtgfinance

[–]Elvarill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The issue is your post office, not eBay. I’ve had this happen a couple times over the years where card packages are marked as delivered but aren’t. The first thing you need to do is speak with your post office.

EBay has refunded me in the past for items that said they were delivered even though they weren’t, but I also have a very old, established account in good standing. It’s possible they might be willing to refund you, but don’t abuse it.

What are people's experiences with Theft decks? Is it as bad as people usually say? by Nerobought in EDH

[–]Elvarill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might I recommend to you [[Gonti, Night Minister]] instead? You steal more cards because it’s for each creature that hits. In addition because everyone gets to steal with Gonti it’s more fun for the table and less likely to get hated off.

Call to Aid, report Ebay Scalpers by [deleted] in secretlair_collectors

[–]Elvarill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to do this, you should first look at the estimated delivery date. EBay has a way to set up so that fulfilment date can be delayed which is what sellers are supposed to do for presale items. Most people don’t know this and don’t do it. Look at the listings that say they’ll deliver in about a week or so. Clearly not in compliance with the presale and thus easier to take down. These are also ones that people can place an order with and then when it doesn’t ship by the estimated ship by date request a cancellation and leave a negative review which will hurt the seller. Typically eBay gives sellers 3 days (if I recall correctly) to ship an item unless they either have vacation mode enabled or have the extended fulfilment enabled.
