As a sliver fan, this has caught my eye:

And does anyone have this:

I'm tempted to buy one for nostalgia's sake - One of my all-time favorite cards is Predator, flagship

And the cards from that set were still popular when I first started playing.

Had a look on ebay, and almost all sellers want to charge $20 for shipping when the cards themselves are $20......

Anyone interested in helping me out?

Nemesis, that brings back some memories. I started playing approximately when this series came out. I can go and check my nearby cardshop (when I have time) and see what they charge for that particular card.

Nah, its the actual duel deck I'm interested in, not the card.

From the decklists on the magic website, $20 for all those cars isn't bad value at all.

I already have a predator in my deck

I've recently stopped playing Magic (started in Onslaught), it's so hard trying to sell cards now, to fuel my new headphone hobby.

 

[nsx_23]

I just keep a few decks around for the occasional game.

 

[MightyFine Shindig]

I was thinking about doing that, but I rarely take them out now so I thought I might as well sell the cards that are worth anything.

My advice: Don't ever sell your whole collection. Keep some decks around that you have built and sell what you aren't using. Everyone I know that has sold their collection has regretted it at some point in time later in life.

I would recommend not selling your collection except for duplicates, but I can understand the draw for gear.

Anyone catch up with the latest Zen set? My newest is from Alara..

Back to Extended, I've been fiddling around with a UR Dragonstorm build just for kicks, after becoming rather bored with Affinity (really, it's no fun T3ing practically every game). Just remembered, my Time Sieve hasn't taken off yet..

nylan8301, have you tried that phyrexia duel deck at a card store somewhere?

 

[invisiman]

I used to play this with my neighbors about ten years ago. I wish I could find a good group of people to start playing with again. It was a lot of fun, and every time I think about it, it's nothing but fond memories

Thanks for the advice, I'm just afraid that later down the line, if I ever get back into the game, others will probably only want to play standard. That's what happened when I came back the first time after taking a break after the Ravnica Block. No one wanted to play against those cards, so I was forced to buy newer cards. I have a whole bunch of fetches and other rares and mythics I can sell to stores probably. Those that aren't in any of my decks.

 

[nsx_23]

I just find people who play casually and use my old cards (Hurray for Threshold decks!

)

Some people just take it too seriously and don't understand the concept of having fun.

I have not. In general there are some really nice cards in the deck. I think it's worth buying just for the Phyrexian Negator.

I agree with the casual sentiment above that old decks are fun in a casual sense. Elder Dragon Highlander is also really picking up steam, so it might be worth just keeping one copy of each card for that format and selling duplicates.

Anyone play Extended format?

you may able to find some information at manadrain.com. I believe they have good information regarding Type 1 and extended format. You may able to find a game store near you.
