When recruiters are as cheap as they are online, I'd think a lot of players would gravitate towards it in the paper world as well. It's the one big ticket item that keeps many from building the deck
I make an exchange offer to my local MTG shop that sells 4 DCI Imperial Recruiters for 120 euros each (480 euros total), and said "yes" : 1 Mint Time Vault from Unlimited, a NM English Moat, and 50 euros cash.
Is it a good deal ;
Did you get the recruiters or trade them away? I'd say the party that got cash, moat and time vault got the better bargain

According to www.magiccardmarket.eu that the store is member, the first lowest price for NM Time Vault for Unlimited is 290 euros. For the English Moat is 170 euros. 460 euros total. The Recruiters cost 480 euros... We have a difference of 20 euros. But he asked me 30 more... It's OK with me. I have no problem.
I meant, value wise, it was a roughly even trade, but the thing is Moat and Time Vault aren't reprintable. If you're looking to buy into the deck and need the recruiters, that's one thing. I was looking at it through a trader's standpoint. I'd personally hold onto the reserve list cards in an even trade, if this were an average trade, but I think you did fine with getting your Recruiters in one go.
I understand that the local store wants to earn profit. It's not my friend who trades me 1:1. Moat and Time Vault are dead cards in my album. Here in Greece we do not play Vintage, and I don't use Moat in my decks. Besides that I have 3 more Time Vaults, and 1 more Moat to play if I need them...Quote:

Yeah you're good to go man. Do you have problems with the foil warping in the deck or are you going for foiled?

I have no choice. The price is for 4 DCI Imperials. Foiled and shiny. From Portal these cards cost way to much...

Just curious, what sort of anti-painter sideboard tools do you run? Do you just run things like elixir of immortality?Quote:

I don't know how much space you really want to dedicate to the mirror... But... Leyline of sanctity was a reasonable SB card for this deck a while back. The white splash even has a small chance to cast it.
A card like leyline though has utility for a variety of decks.

What about True Beleaver?
Personally I think if your going for the True Believer effect on a body, the new less W intensive, version which is tutorable with both enlightened tutor and Imperial Recruiter seems the better choice.Quote:

Now while we are talking crazy ideas, here's a crazy one for you.
For the Mono-Red builds...
You know how some people run Chandra, Pyromaster for "card advantage" from the 0 ability. What about the new CMC 3 red creature Prophetic Flamespeaker, which is can profitably fight with x/1's and or can double up on the "card advantage" that Chandra, Pyromaster offers. It seems to be "Good" in the same situations Chandra, Pyromaster is good, and "Bad" in most of the situations that Chandra Pyromaster is bad.
Pros, 1 Cheaper, Imperial Recruiter Target, Up to 2x the "Card Advantage" of Chandra. Fights with X/1's like a champ. Kind of does a Lacky impression and says "Who knows what could happen if you don't block me?"
Cons, Is a Creature, perhaps a little more situational then Pyromaster.
I was never a huge fan of Chandra though so truth be told even though I'm bringing this up, I don't think this is really what you want to be doing just a passing thought this morning while looking though the spoliers.
I'd agree that aegis is the better choice over true believer. Its ass and cmc are the deciding factors. 2W is also easier than WW on the mana base. Interesting that such a thing is necessary, but the need shouldn't port over to paper Magic.

Hexproff/shroud abilities are still good against discard and storm decks though. Maybe it should become a 1 of sb?Quote:

I have been playing this recently on MTGO and I absolutely love the white splash so far. Tutoring EOT or even just trying to bait out a counter feels great. Having rest in peace as a tutorable SB option makes me feel even more comfortable. Lastly, brining the beats with painter and recruiter under 2 moon effects and after someone uses surgical extraction on Grindstone is a great feeling. I don't feel 100% comfortable with this deck (side-boarding especially) but I am sure that will come with time.
Also, has anyone been streaming with this lately? I haven't seen Kapn' on Twitch in some time. I would really like to watch a person more experienced with this deck pilot it.
If I can borrow the deck I'd love to stream a match or two. I just don't have anything on MTGO besides m11 chaff.
