What do you think about the LegitMTG shop? They dont charge much shipping if any at all. Mtgplayer ive found charges a lot in shipping even for only a few cards.


Hm. I find most tcgplayer sellers tend to charge $0.49 to $0.99. Many have free shipping if you buy cards for $50. And it has a nice optimizer tool that allows you to find the cheapest combination of sellers for any set of cards in your shopping cart, including shopping price. Moreover, every transaction I've done on tcgplayer has gone ultra smooth, which I cannot say for ebay, where I've had to file a case with customer support two times.

Edit: I'm not familiar with LegitMTG, but I just browsed their inventory, and while their prices and shipping costs seem very competitive, their inventory seems really light (maybe because of the former).

One more thing-- I just got some cards from draft and I want to know if they are even worth consideration in this deck:
Desecration Demon
Grave Betrayal
Death's Presence

I like Desecration Demon , even though the common advice is not to play cards that give your opponent options. The same is said for Vexing Devil , but the deck that won my last FNM had 4x Vexing Devil in it.

Desecration Demon is fine card in the short run.  Since you've got a lot of changes to make that will take some time, I'd run him over an upgrade over some of your lower impact cards right now.

It looks pretty good overall.  I don't know if Arbor Elf is your best choice, though.  Most of your cards are fairly low-cost, making it feel unnecessary.  I don't know Golgari all that well, so I'm at a bit of a loss about what to replace them with, but I think that it should be switched out.

You have a point. It really just turns to troll food later in the game, or it allows me more mana to scavenge, assuming it is still on the field. It does allow for a t2 dreg mangler or nighthawk though...
Only thing i could think of to replace would be slitherhead, which doesnt do as much work as arbor elf it would seem.

Slitherhead is alright. An excellent 1-mana drop (but expensive, moneywise) is Deathrite Shaman .

Also, there is another good Golgari-themed thread that I recommend you review, if you haven't already:

Here is some stats from the standard tournament I played yesterday:
Round 1: 2-0 vs selesnya enchantments control
Round 2: 1-2 vs azorius enchantments control
Round 3: 2-1 vs golgari splash red 1 1 counters
Round 4: 0-2 vs b/w/g lingering souls

So id say it is reasonably competitive... given that I pretty much was up against decks I didnt have answers for maindeck. Btw, here is the sideboard:

1 x Vraska the Unseen
1 x Deathrite Shaman
3 x Golgari Charm
2 x Naturalize
2 x Silklash Spider
2 x Vile Rebirth
2 x Duress
2 x Pithing Needle
