Game store story of SCness!

I also find it odd that you don't sell basic lands, but that doesn't excuse the kids. Good grief, shop says "no" so you try to steal the cards instead? But yeah, judging from what Hubby said of the last prerelease he went to, Wizards doesn't actually supply the basic lands to the shops for the events, so they have to provide their own.

Hubby and I thankfully don't need to stock up on lands for now, seeing as the year we were married we inherited a huuuuge set of cards from someone else in our complex, including a ton of basic lands. Eventually we'll have to pick up some more (mountains, apparently, last I checked), but until then....

I had a non-SC problem with Magic the Gathering, spending $120 for great cards then finding out there was nobody who lived nearby to play against. Bleah. (A case of putting the card before the horse.)

This is one reason why recently, Hubby and I have been experimenting with playing with a friend of ours over Skype. So far, not too shabby.

I ended up getting my basic lands from the fat packs that come out each time, but the only "basic" lands that get sold in the closest store to my shop are the Zendikar lands. Soooo preeettty

I bought a bunch of Magic cards when the game first came out, and got a few special cards that came with the books. I never got around to playing the game and eventually sold them all to an online store. I got $35.00 just for a mana vault card, but I checked just now and see they can now be had for about a tenth of that.

It depends on the set they came from. A Mana Vault from Alpha is $525 and Beta is $265

Local shop here in Auckland sells all manner of common and uncommon lands (including multicolor lands and special ones like Urzas Mine, Tower and Power Plant), They vary in cost from 5-20c each though depending on which color decks are in demand at the time. Special/multicolor lands depend on the rarity of the card, I've seen them vary from $1-$50

It wasn't from a set. It was in one of the books.
