Well, none of them will have any money cards, but each one has two uncommons (with all the rest being commons, of course). The uncommons in my red deck are Horde of Boggarts and Tar Pitcher. The uncommons in my green deck are Jagged-Scar Archers and Creeping Mold.

I still need to examine my decks a bit more closely to see what's uncommon and what's fun.

Just look for the silver expansion symbol to discover your uncommons.

I'm a bit disappointed with my common 6/6 Sea Monster since it can't attack unless the defending player has an Island. I am, however, pleased with my 1/6 Wall of air, my persuasion enchantment (to control a target creature). With white I'm happy with Seera's Embrace (+2/+2 enchant + flying + vigilance), Soaring Hope (grant creature flying or put it back in library later for 1 white mana), and Armored Ascension (+1/+1 enchantment for each plains +flying).

You don't live in Utah, do you?

Not bad. I'd especially enjoy the Tar Pitcher if I could find a good card to generate cheap goblin tokens to sacrifice. Of course anything that can attack the opponent directly without being blocked by his creatures is a plus.

No, not anymore. I live in the Pacific Northwest at the moment, but most of my family is in Utah.

In that case, look no further than:

The best part about this Magic Cube is that if you scratch the water droplets they smell like a mixture of armpit and cardstock, just like the hobby shop !

Yeah. I took hits on the value of plenty of my cards because I sold everything in bulk, but overall I think I got a pretty solid value. In truth, what made me the most money was my dual lands. Apparently, they've just gone up and up in value. But back in the day when I played, they were fairly easy to come buy. Turns out I had a bunch which scored me some good cash.
