I was just wondering how many people collect a specific card and how many of that card they have. I collect Avatars of Woe and I have about 17.

DANG, that's a lotta knights and Kezzerdrix :). I'm just starting [though ya wouldn't know it by the amount of cards I've already amassed :rolleyes:]. I like Dragons and Kavus. So, I'll probably concentrate on getting as many of those as I can :)

So, next logical question: What do you do with all the copies? How many actual homemade decks do people have? Right now I have the one and a bunch of the precons to help me figure out which colors/strategies I like or dislike.

Brian Connelly of the UK has approx 1,000 Lichenthropes.
It`s REALLY hard to get Lichenthropes over here, now, because Brian has them all.
Not that anybody cares, because Lichethrope is terrible.

I have 1,000+ Pestilences, from Alpha to 6th, and I'm always willing to trade for more (see my sig.).

Plague rats-34

I have all of the plague rats in my play group. It's hard to get them too becuase when I go to trade no one brings their common junk.

I have a lot of basic lands... ;)

I saw someone at a card shop in BC with 207 foil Sneaky Hormunculi in his binder.

I collect:

Eaters of the Dead (9x, willing to trade for as many as you have)
Phyrexian Portal (5x, ditto)
Vine Trellis (~60x)

Problem is, no one brings their Trellis's to trade...

Well, I don't bring all my commons to trade when I play (even a strong man can only lift so much!), but I do bring a binder full of Uncommons and older, weird stuff to trade, in addition to a (thin) binder of rares and foils. Most of the time, I end up trading old, weird stuff for newer stuff. Last weekend, I traded a signed Fountain of Youth for a Rising Waters!

So remember, just because you don't value it, somebody else may be looking for multiple copies of some bizarre card, and willing to part with cards you treasure to get them. You can trade Urza's Rages with anybody, but trying to trade relatively crappy cards can be fun too!

Anyway, Zadok, I'll be happy to GIVE you all the Vine Trellises I can find (and there should be plenty) if you'll send me your address.

I'm collecting Rits too. The'll become rare from attrition soon enough, since it's not gonna be reprinted.

Question is, will Culling the Weak replace it in 7th/Odessey?

I collect cards that have the magic back on them. All in all, I have close to 25,000 cards with a magic back on them.

I met a guy last year with a fetish collection of lotus petals, he had over 300 of them. I got one of my opponents so pissed off at psychic purge that he bought all of them he could find and destroyed them. Hehe. I don't know how long he kept up the behavior though. And I seem to be unwillingly collecting Alexi Zephyr mages, I've pulled two foils and six regulars and I don't have much more than two boxes worth of the set all total. In the one box that I did buy as a whole box I got three of her. I've probably got other accidental collections like that, I know I've got over 200 earthbinds and like 150 kird apes and I've never tried to collect either.

Zadok, e-mail me (look in my profile) with your snail mail and I'll give you a pair of phyrexian portals.

Although I have at least 35 white knights and about 50 Serra Angels, they all came from the 20+ boxes of 3rd and 4th edition I bought when I fist started playing. I've been known to give away Serra's to newbies at the local shop.

The only single I go out of my way for is Ball Lightning...

17 The Dark (not including the one in my Dark set)
28 4th Edition
15 5th Edition
and 26 Rennesance Kugleblitz.

Ball lightning is cool...
