Darkslick Shores was good advice, thanks.

Didn't notice Krosan Grip. Shatter is a little cheaper though. All in all it looks good.

Swamp, dark ritual, ensnaring bridge. Maybe a Shatter in the sideboard, or something similar.

Not bad... Useful newer cards in that deck. I'm kinda skeptical of mono color decks because of color hosers, especially ones using Iona.

Thoughts, Ideas, Suggestions?

Creatures
4 Blood Pet
4 Cunning Lethemancer

Spells
4 Lotus Petal
4 Mox Diamond

There's no arguing that there's a spectrum, but by your own assertion there is an objective bedrock. Unfortunately, a subject (counterfeiting) that is clearly established on that bedrock seems to be...

Looks to me like the illegitimate parties are starting to dictate things and what we do as consumers matters considerably. In this case morality has everything to do with the issue.



I did...

Having an ethics discussion with someone who believes that morality is subjective is like arguing your interpretation of an abstract painting. It amounts to an exercise in futility.

Apparently to some honesty is outweighed by the desire to beat someone is a card game made for ages 13 and up...

This is true, but the issue isn't supply and demand it is counterfeiting. I'll admit that getting cards graded isn't very practical/cost effective for playing purposes, but it obstructs...

You can always get your cards graded as well. If only that system was more cost effective and allowed the cards to still be played.

So your saying that its hard for you to see how counterfeiting a product despite it being out of production hurts the industry that produced it. So you don't think that product integrity affects...

There is no utility in losing the creative genius behind these games. Not to say these creative minds aren't acting from purely altruistic motives, only that people who trade in counterfeits...

Pretty weak attempt at justifying a disturbing trend. Can I trade you my piece of paper for your nostalgic memorabilia?

I think you're missing my point. I'm not as much interested in dissuading anyone as I am in pointing out what is happening. You can equivocate about WOTC's business practices all day, but it doesn't...

People should stick with modern then, but don't steal. Free riders stifle creativity and productiveness. The folks at WOTC don't have to waste their efforts to bring us such great games, they could...

Richard Garfield and the folks at WOTC did not dedicate time and effort into bringing this grand game to us for people to defraud it. A little off topic, but have you ever heard of Baulder's Gate? It...

This is a serious problem for people who have high value cards and are trying to get back into the game like myself. From what I have read and learned some counterfeit cards are nearly indiscernible...

Hello everyone,

Getting back into Magic after a long hiatus. Since most of my cards are from between 4th Edition and Exodus it's only natural that I get into legacy.
