Peter's Startup for Modo

[Peter Dun]

After spending the last week desperately wanting to play lots of modern and being unable to find sufficient games due to time difference (magic-league is always empty on Asian time) I have finally realised the inevitable and know that playing on modo is probably my only option if I want to play mtg constructed. This is a very sad day for me, but I guess such is life.

 

However, the idea of starting from scratch with no decks and no packs is a pretty daunting task. As such, I would like any assistance in terms of advice and cards that you guys can give. In particular with cards. If anyone can lend me any of the following cards for modern I will be very very grateful (I will wait on t2 for innistrad). If you are insist on only selling the cards, I will happily pay either 1.1x the bot selling price in tix within 3 months, or 1.2x the value in a year when I next get to England.

 

I think I will primarily grind t2, pauper and constructed queues, and not really play limited (even though that is more fun). I want to avoid spending a very large amount on this if possible, and constructed will let me play for less. However, any other advice on how to play (even basic things like stops etc.) would be welcome.

Chris Bateman has warned me about Watery Graves and Shackles costing a lot online, in which case, some extra vendettas/river of tears and the UB m11 duals would be welcome.

PDiddy can u explain better what u mean by your modo deals that u are offering so that an idiot like me can understand pls? If youre offering something profitable then i may be interested. Also please choose a good nick, this is very important.

[Daniel Royde]

Pete,

Email Nick and ask him to give you your prize as a modo account with tix as your prize.

[Peter Dun]

nvm... it must be a coding issue as my computer has a chinese language motherboard

I see the prize is 25 pounds and not 100 (it says 100 pounds on my computer....) :S

after talking to paul young... it seems that I just don't understand the modo system at all... so you can only buy tix in dollars, and then 20% tax. So, if the exchange rate atm is 1.61...

 

so I'll do....

100 pounds store credit for 100 tix

or

2x 50 pounds store credit for 55 tix each?

 

any takers?

Pete should obviously be "dv8r" such that GerryT can recognise and continue to cite him.

[Peter Dun]

can't... account already taken... would pay money (seriously) to get it though

[Philip Dickinson]

can we turn this thread into a usernames suggestions thread?

[Peter Dun]

:S

 

(also, I would have registered by now but for some reason the site is not working...)

[Dave Robertshaw]

its wednesday updates, will be up again in about another hour or so.

[Peter Dun]

see, this is why I need help :S

[Dave Robertshaw]

I have a few tix spare on modo right now peter, I am sure we can work out a deal, whether it be for store credit or cash. let me know if you are interested.

[Peter Dun]

[Peter Dun]
