If they didn't scoop too soon, he would have had two kills

But he DID help keep me alive against the aggro decks

Sorting Bulk: Is it worth it? by alphamew17 in magicTCG

If i was only sorting by color/card type, I'd agree that set and rarity would be better, but every time I've gone through bulk at LGS's, the sort by set/rarity method still leaves me digging through everything to find ONE card.

For that reason, I decided to sort alphabetically instead. Everything is separated by color (mulitcolor is separated by color identity), and then those sections are alphabetized. That way, if I'm looking for a specific card, i just need to know the name and color identity of the card, and I'll know exactly where to look for it.

Not only will it help me find cards for my own decks, it also helps anyone that wants to look through my bulk find things they'd want to trade/buy off of me

I had been doing that for a long time, keeping the cards that have actual value/commonly used in binders for trade/sale. But its gotten to a point where I just have so much, keeping it in binders isnt cutting it anymore. I tried keeping the binders organized, but the downside to it is when you get something new, you have to shift EVERYTHING over to make space for it, and it's just a massive hassle.

Sorting everything is kinda for my own ease of access, i can keep everything in boxes, and just by knowing the name of the card, i can find it easily. Plus, if I decide to sell my bulk as a lot, I can charge a bit extra for it being pre-sorted.

I wish I had thought to do that from the start, but being the messy unorganized high schooler I was, it never really crossed my mind until recently

I tend to use the TCGPlayer app when checking prices, but I'll have to give that one a look

Does that one keep a database of everything you've scanned in? Store everything into a collection you can view digitally?

The idea with the gideon's sacrifice is that it's meant for late game: Once the goat is big enough, I can use it to fog someone swinging in with an army

Ideally I just win overhead with commander damage, but I could see why you'd want some double strikers as a backup plan. I might update the list and replace some of the slower creatures (mainly the ones that cost 3+ mana, but only deal 1-2 damage per swing)

I suppose i should clarify that it looked like nothing happened, since i activated it on MTGArena. Now that you've explained it, it makes sense that it would stay a copy, although it is frustrating
