    Re: The Source Secret Santa 2010 ~ The Fat Bastard is Back!!!

    Sign me up this year. It'll be the first time I ever entered into this. Someone will be really happy. I set aside a nice little stack of goodies.

    As for things I am looking for, that's a tough one. I don't know, be creative.

    I'd love to get my hands on some of these, but I don't expect most people to have this stuff lying around. You never know though.

    Norwood Priestess, foil putrid Leech, Endless Cockroaches, Island of Wak Wak, P3K basics, Pegasus tokens, foil obliterate, crappy old English Legends like Gwendolyn di Corci,and I'd kill for even a single Arabian Mountain. Like I said, I look for weird crap. I'm not big into foreign stuff actually.

    Here's some other random foil junk I am hunting taken straight from my own want list for EDH decks

    Foil Cloud of Faeries
    Foil Rhystic Study
    Foil Knight of the White Orchid x3
    Foil Gerrard Capeshen
    Foil Emeria
    Foil Reliquary Tower
    Foil Cradle of Vitality
    Foil Soul Warden
    Random foil Signets
    Foil Alara Tri-lands


    Here's hoping I get one of those altered art people to make me a Arabian Plains.

    I would like an idea of what someone plays so I can make sure they actually get something for the deck they use. Ideas on how we can do that?



    As for the decklist

    Old school Ramp (I actually used to play this)

    7 Forests
    9 Mountains
    4 Taiga
    2 Desert

    4 Wild Growth
    4 Gauntlet of Might
    4 Fireball
    4 Dragon Whelp
    4 Shivan Dragon
    4 Lightning Bolt
    4 Desert Twister
    4 Mana Flare
    4 Drop of Honey
    2 Ifh-Bíff Efreet



    And a weird deck i came up with just for this contest. A Green/Red Control.

    10 Forests
    2 Mountain
    4 Taiga
    3 Howling Mine
    4 Ivory Tower
    3 Sylvan Library
    3 Firestorm
    4 Arboria
    4 Elephant Grass
    2 Gaea's Blessing
    1 Library of Leng


    You sit behind your Elephant Grass, and Arboria until you drop a few sylvan Libraries and Ivory Towers and start being able to pay the life to draw the cards. Then eventually you start picking off their creatures with Firestorm. Gaea's Blessing to recycle it all and never deck out. Truly annoying as hell.

    No man...

    http://magiccards.info/ai/en/67.html

    Both of them. Get it?

    But yeah, outlandish wishlists are just that. I mean list something that you yourself would be willing to part with. So maybe the 1st tier would be like FoW, foil rares, dual land. Second tier more like foil Brainstorm, staple rares, etc. And realistic request staple commons/uncommons.

    And btw, because I've gotten a few comments about limits, etc. I myself would not part with my FoWs or any original Duals unless I had more than a playset. I think that's reasonable so don't feel like you're bound by whoever's wishlist you end up with. Just do your best and in the spirit of giving, please try to give something you yourself would like to receive. That way, in the end, everyone is happy. The alters are really going to spice things up as it's a little extra everyone can expect. I can't wait to see how bad some of these are going to be (probably mine). We should have prizes for best and worst.

    Sure, I'll jump in.

    Wishlist (in no particular order):

    1 Survival of the Fittest
    1 Tooth and Nail
    1 Duel Decks Demonic Tutor (or a black bordered old one, but this should be easier to get)
    Foreign foil versions of Vorosh, the Hunter or Child of Alara: Russian or Japanese preferred
    Foil and/or foreign stuff for my Vorosh EDH deck (other than basics)
    Euro Red pack lands
    Foil versions of this island in the old border
    My two front teeth

    And I collect foil, foreign, and/or misprinted versions of both Faerie Harbinger and Wydwen, the Biting Gale. No regular English versions, since I have roughly a million of each.

    Yay, this is my first year doing this (outside of workk that is).

    As for a 'wishlist', basically anything to Pimp Out my Death and Taxes or Numot EDH deck.

  7. #27

    Re: The Source Secret Santa 2010 ~ The Fat Bastard is Back!!!

    I'm fairly sure I will be joining in. It doesn't look like I'm the only Euro taking part, so that might help the mailing part. It'll be my first year if I do join.

    The only real wishlist I have would have would be random Doran Rock highlander cards, maybe pimp commons for UG control.

    For anyone who may be unsure of what to expect or what's expected of you, take a look at last years brag thread. That should summarize SS pretty well.

    These people have shown interest but have yet to PM addresses:

    Penguinizer
    Brad Herbig
    Kiblast
    rockout
    NetherGamer
    Kilukru
    cwt1220
    BackDr0p

    Re: The Source Secret Santa 2010 ~ The Fat Bastard is Back!!!

    After skimming through last year's thread, I decided to put up a good chunk more cards.

    Info coming now.

    My wishlist:
    Some nice Counterbalances
    Some nice Firespouts
    Fetches
    Some pimp EDH stuff
    This looks like a job for me.

    Most of my posts will be written from my phone, so please excuse the eventual lack of proper typing.

    Oh, I need 2 Elephant Grass and a Terastodon to finish up my Elves sideboard.
    Also, I may finish altering a Dark Ritual (IA) that I came up with a while back. Hold onto your butts if that one happens.

    ^that's the basic idea.

    Yay for wishlists.

    If I get someone outside the US, I want a candy bar that I can't get in the US. It's a thing with me.

    I play a lot of highlander, but not EDH. My highlander deck is 3000+ cards. Anything that you think should go in there is great. I don't want foils or non-english stuff for it. Altered is great and totally acceptable.


    Kiblast is making fun of me...I think.

    LED's
    BB Bribery
    Custom stuff to make my highlander deck look pretty is always great like I said. I'm in the play group that Abe Sargent (from SCG) used to play in. Some of the stuff in that article is mine already. It's a lot of EDH type staples that get facelifts.

    Whenever I see a kid in a wheelchair it makes me a little sad. Because I always think, "Gee, they could have used those same wheels to make a bike for a regular kid. What a waste."

    I mean, candybars and cards for a 3000+ deck ? best wishlist of the thread.

    Actually anonymous, i was serious...best wishlist. No foils, no uber rare shit, just plain random mtg cards to play for fun. :)

    Re: The Source Secret Santa 2010 ~ The Fat Bastard is Back!!!

    My wishlist (but I'm not fussy and will be happy with whatever I receive), language doesn't matter, you can see the only deck I have semi-pimped is D&T variant (sorry LegacyDan, maybe if I get you I'll just abandoned my pimping and give you what I have already pimped);

    Dreams:

    Orim's Chant
    Sinkhole

    Needs:

    Argothian Enchantress
    Exploration

    Wants:

    Horizon Canopy
    Sterling Grove
    Any of the Tempest Medallions
    BB Red Elemental Blasts (as many as you got)
    Braid of Fire (as many as you got)
    Burgeoning (as many as you got - am I the only one who thinks this card is good?)
    Back to Basics 1-3
    Wooded Foothills
    Rishdan Port
    Bloodghast
    Mutavault
    Power Artifact
    Bitterblossum
    Serra's Sanctum
    Cryptic Command
    Progenitus
    Transmute Artifact
    Foil Painter's Servant
    Foil Angel of Despair
    Anything to pimp Death & Taxes
    Foil Flagstones of Trokair
    Foil Oblivion Ring
    Foil Serra Avenger
    Foil Jotun Grunt
    Foil Stoneforge Mystic


    I know it's a huge list and I'm totally greedy. I have so many cards and I don't really pimp anything so I can't go and ask for foil Brainstorms or foreign this or that. I have so many playsets of staple commons/uncommons that I really don't need anymore of them. So if you happen to have anything on the list, great, if not just get creative and surprise me. It's all about ripping the wrapping paper anyhow.

    You'd totally dig my stuff. I can't really afford to give away staples, but I found 2 nice cards I'll give away and I have a lot of other stuff - weird stuff.
    I started to alter some Foils (Icy Manipulator FNM promo turns into a snow dome) with my crappy skills and I am skimming through my collection for some german combo cards (Dread Returns, Tendrils, that stuff).

    Are you gonna give us the wishlists of the persons we should give presents to?
    This looks like a job for me.

    Re: The Source Secret Santa 2010 ~ The Fat Bastard is Back!!!

    Nope, the way it usually goes is when the deadline is up, I'll have everyone's info collected and I'll have to find a way to randomize senders/recipients so there is no bias. I'm pretty sure in years past, there may have been biases and I don't want that to happen. Granted, I may have to put some names into different hats if there is a problem with outrageous shipping costs but if everyone agrees to just let the bones fall where they may, we can just go totally random. We'll have to come to a consensus because I know it can get pretty expensive to send just a small package some places. Anyhow, when the deadline gets here and I randomize everyone, I'll send out PMs with your person's contact info including name address and online identity so you can go back and see what they requested.

    As for the contest part of it, we can have a secret ballot once all entries are posted (maybe in another thread all together).

    considerations for prizes as it stands (and this is my own stuff at this point):

    A playmat from these good folks.

    and/or

    A sealed FTV: Relics

    and/or

    a revised dual land

    and/or

    some other hot staples.


    Remember, I don't really want to go it alone on the prize package so I'm asking for assistance in either helping cover some costs or maybe people adding to the pool or what-not. I think it needs to be hashed out more between then and now as far as what exactly the contest(s) look like, what the prizes are and who will be getting them. We're all in this together so please pipe in or send me a PM if you want to be more involved.

    I like this secret Santa stuff. Have fun to all articipating. I'd love to join too but I don't want to disappoint folks. Maybe next year.
    I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums

    In for sure, last year was a lot of fun.

    Looking for EDH stuff (Yay singletons!):
    Any Fetches
    Any shock lands minus Temple Garden
    Pain lands
    New coreset duals or Scars duals
    Good EDH staples for R, G, W, or U.
    Sol Ring
