PM me a highlights list. I might be interested in some of it. Bulk isn't worth shipping, but I'd cherry pick for old school / vintage / legacy.

How much are you tallking? My wife used to have a bunch of old cards that got stolen (back when she originally played). She might be interested. Or more accurately, I might be interested in getting something like that for her.

Colorless should be fine. Many of the cards I was looking at are artifact, and even those that weren't you only need a couple of colored mana. I know other colors can make mana because the one time I played with a commander deck, it made a ton. I think it was black/white. So you're saying green will do a lot more?
Good to know. Thanks for the info.

Did my first speculation on MTGO. Purchased like 40 copies of harmless offering at .03 tickets per a couple days ago, they are up to .5 tickets already today cause one dude is doing well with a donate deck in standard. I've made literally like, dozens of dollars!
Edit: offerings up over a full ticket per, im rich!

Some pictures of my Krenko deck. It's coming along nicely. I have 21 more foils in the mail.
That Ruby Medallion is one of the Charlie Brown misprints but it doesn't show up well in images. I want to get a judge promo Wheel of Fate but I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on it yet.

I've gotten pretty heavily involved with MTG over the past few months. I've been playing it on and off rarely since about 4th edition, but with the release of BfZ I got back into drafting regularly. In January I started with Standard and eventually the other constructed formats.
What formats does everyone play, and what decks? I'm currently doing the following:
Standard - Bant Company
Modern - Infect
Legacy - Burn, in the process of building Colorless Eldrazi (though I've been told the version with Karakas and Displacer is superior) and Grixis Delver
I haven't played much EDH. I started with an Oros deck built around Stuffy Doll mechanics, took it to my LGS and was disappointed with the lackluster performance compared to other decks. I ended up taking the mardu manabase and built a Kaalia deck. Stuffy Doll and similar effects are some of my favorites (dating back to a Mogg Maniac deck I had when I was much younger), so I am now building a Nin, the Pain Artist deck around that.
One thing I have noticed is that while I find my performance in drafting and sealed to be pretty strong, I would say I need to improve how well I do in the constructed formats. While my LGS drafts 2x a week, I only play Standard once or twice a month and Modern / Legacy much less than that. I tried Xmage so I can get some practice there (and test brews), but I would say the competition has generally been lackluster. It is often populated with other people testing brews, so I never get much of a chance to test thoroughly or play against other established decks so that I can learn the meta.
As a result, I think it is time I moved to MTGO. Does anyone have any tips on getting started there? One person recommended start with sealed leagues as a cost effective way to build a collection and then start trading / buying / selling from there. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
A testing group on xmage would also be an interesting possibility.
