My wife got me a box of Mirrodin for Valentine's Day... usually she just gets me a couple of packs for Christmas. What a bonus! I had to answer some Valentine's Day questions before actually opening them, but that was fun too...

WOW!

Did you already bust 'em, or are you waiting for the playgroup to draft with 'em or somesuch?

...I've still got a bunch of packs that I've been wanting to do that with... but my group kinda disbanded.

that is cool Spidey!...

Now if you're a good little web-slinger - maybe she'll get you more for your BD...

Think it was because of the Unglued... That's the only different thing I know of that we've mentioned or has been sent your way... and she took a little liking to it...

;)

Here's to more boxes for Spidey!

The key now is to show that a couple of packs makes you pleased, but an entire box makes you delighted. Make sure that she understands that your happiness is proportionate to the number of packs you receive.

Of course, it couldn't hurt to try to teach her the game as well - I find that most anyone, when they give Magic a chance, enjoys it (at least at first).

Oh, she knows how much Magic delights me... she just usually doesn't get me any because of how it used to take up a lot of my time. Which is why it teeters on her dislike side - she just has bad memories of it competing with her. She knows the basics of how to play - I tried teaching her way back during Revised when we played one deck/common library. She just doesn't really like it.

Although she did like some of the Unglued cards; Knight of the Hokey Pokey was pretty funny to her :)

I'm still cataloging, but I got a Mindslaver and two Molder Slugs which make me think of building an anti-artifact deck for my Group play. Surprisingly, no Loxodon Warhammers (they're in Mirrodin, right), Lightning Greaves, or Isochron Scepters. I'm thinking the sorting is not that great for this set.

I feel your pain bro. I opened three boxes! Five isochron scepters, one foil (yea I was lucky), three loxodon warhammers and three lightning greaves. It feels like they're handing some of these uncommons out like rares.

I just opened three boxes of Darksteel and BARELY got four skullclamps. Completed my play sets with four packs to go :( I really should have pulled more then that being it's a smaller set and all.

I think the best deals on Ebay right now are probably the x4 Playsets of uncommons available. All uncommons from one set all x4..great way to solidify your collection.

How about another Fallen Empires draft?

(7 Thorn Thallids in one draft are pretty cool).

I wish. That box was ~SO~ scouted ahead of time... what a rip that one was...

no, I've got Onslaught, a few packs of Legeons, and a couple of Scourge.

Sadly, I'm stuck in the wasteland that is Mississippi with a degree in Recording Arts, and Noone who records has an opening right now, even if the person is Pro Tools Certified.

Sucks to be me, broke, unemployed, with student loan payments due...

:(

The river is too far away, and they're only legal on the river (Why? I don't know...)

That's a great woman.

My wife doesn't have much interest in Magic and she also thinks
it takes up a lot of my time. However, she got me a half 0' box
of Darksteel, for Valentine's Day. I was totally suprised. I didn't
really pull anything worth mentioning but that's not unusual for
me. I have bad Magic luck but..........................


I feel real fortunate.

No way dude! They're also legal on the coastline. I know for a fact they’re quite a few Casinos by Biloxi, Gulfport and Diaberville....think I spelled that last one incorrectly.

Lots of money is Sin ma-man.

In fact here's a link.....where....no not there...oooh found it..here!

One of the mo-betta Casinos.

Sorry. They're legal on free-flowing bodies of water over X amount deep(so it's the coast or on the river only, effectivly). I'd love to be able to get a job in a casino... but I'm in the middle of the landmass.

See? I told you it was a backwater hellhole!

Sorry, I kid. I kid.

Start your own casino! Just be real discrete with the advertising.
