@Anon: Both! I have a bad habit of selling cards I’ll need later in the future for cards I need immediately for bad Modern brews. These brews never work out (ESPER HEARTLESS SUMMONING, YEAH!) and I end up having to buy back the cards I sold for the full amount. I’m trying to get out of that, hence why I needed to ‘finish’ a playset of Garruks before I built up to Dark Ascension.

I know cards are cheap during release week and that cards get significantly cheaper when they rotate out of Standard, but that’s the extent of my economy knowledge. I don’t try to speculate on anything because I’m terrible at it and am sure that I will just buy 300 of a flop. I try to watch cards prices, and if they are going down and I need them, I’ll buy them. But I don’t know what causes these trends; I just try to keep an eye on them.

You were talking about buying Garruks, but in a previous video said you own a playset of Innistrad. Which is it? :p

Also, as the resident block man on here, do you dabble in MTGO economy/finance at all?

Delver of Secrets: The original version had 4, but he eventually was cut. The format is heavy on Geistflame, Devil’s Play, Dead Weight, removal in general, and the Planeswalkers also eat up creatures. He just wasn’t worth the while.

Thanks for the namedrop. And, the deck is by no means easy to play – there’s a lot of math going on with all the burn and Devil’s Play, and you have to know when to push your creatures, and when to sit back and play lands for the burn. The Sideboard is also precise, and if you don’t know the plans, then it’ll still run, but with some kinks in it. ;] On the plus side, as Toasty points out and is generally the case with rogue decks, your opponents were confused and misplayed.

I didn’t watch the videos, but Kyle: Paraselene is part of the Sideboard plan against U/R Stalker. The full Sideboarding details can be found a few pages down at themtgodojo.com – everything is a bit out of date, but it ought to give you the general idea. I’ve mainly been playing BUG the past few weeks, but I think that Watchkeep is still underrated and I think that this style of deck (URx Tempo) will be much more popular with Dark Ascension.
