Hell, PM me your username and I'll buy back all those cards for you tonight if you promise two things -

1) You will not make any other trades until you spend time learning how to do so on MTGO
2) You bring up your two girls well (said a father of two girls)

Yeah those are the cards. the coat of arms was shiny and had the different emblem. I'm 21 with 2 daughters so spending money on here isn't really an option for me because money is tight as is, it just so happens I love playing magic and its not really the cheapest hobby. if I get $9.00 i'm goin and finding me as many Nettle's as it'll buy me. I have every other piece in the deck. just need the Nettle Sentinels, and Glimpse of Nature's. and i'll be good to go. this site you went to it displays the prices of the card being sold by a bot in the game? is it accurate? and what site if you don't mind me asking?




I am confused.  You said he took them all, and now you said you have all of them and just need the Sentinels?

There are some sites around if you look for them.  Not sure if we are allowed to post them.  I know the person who runs/(owns?) one of them posts on here.  You can also go to the trade section and look for cards being sold by people and bots.  Though the search and listings are all text based so not the easiest way to filter and find.

Honestly 99% of magic players are awesome.  As with all people/groups/etc there are usually some bad apples so please don't let your 1 bad experience ruin it for you.  There is a scammerlist online if you want to add his/her username to the list. 

Very cool of you Danger/Chris to help this guy out.  Hopefully he will stick around now.

No I don't have those. I use to have all of those in my elf deck before I wanted to make it a combo deck, and until I completed the deck list I just used those cards in it for the time being. But I made them all tradeable because the only cards I needed to complete the deck were the ones he said he was gonna get me, so I didn't need those rares anymore. Sorry if I misworded it. The cards I use for the combo deck were in my collection but put as not tradeable

Chris and Danger are more than generous. I was feeling really down about this scam and these guys really cheered me up. I can't thank either of you enough for your kindness forwards me. I wish there were more magic players like you guys.

And the best part of this story?  Chris and Danger, MRxPO5TMAN is scamming you guys!  What a turn of events!  Laughing

Seriously though, most Magic players on MTGO are very nice people.  Note that I said "players", not traders.  Most people who trade all day long looking to make a buck are monetarily included to give you bad trades and make a profit when they can.  Some are obviously not above tricking you into giving them all of your cards if you let them. 

I think the key to finding time/money to play Magic Online is to teach the game to your daughters as soon as they are old enough.  If one or both of them enjoy the game, I'm willing to bet you will find a lot more time & money to put towards a great game.
