If anyone's interested, Celestial Colonnade is currently at the bargain price of 4 euros on magiccardmarket.eu. Just bought 3.

[Dan Barrett]

i bought like 9 colonnades at £1.70 odd yesterday - seller mispriced them on ebay, LOL.

has anyone played about with Open The Vaults yet? I've played a few games with a similar deck to the one from the PT on modo, it seems pretty good. like, resolved OtV is pretty much GG against most decks. SO MUCH CARD ADVANTAGE

[Philip Dickinson]

also, there's a cash standard tournament in Colchester next week on the 6th, is anyone interested? 100 for 1st, 50 for 2nd. cash pool increases with >24 players.

I didn't rip anyone off, thank you Steve! :P

Traded an Elspeth and some other stuff with Mike for one, bought 3 at £24 online, opened a fifth last night!


Gary - i'm sure we can come to some kind of arrangement...

[Philip Dickinson]

welp seriously the open the vaults deck is crazy. you just fanny around for ages then gain like 50 life and vomit loads of 3/3s into play.

plus, its quite fun to kill people with glassdust hulk and architects of will [not as fun as monstrous carabid obv]
