Welcome to DarkSky's Magical Trading Card Tips


Suggestions
1. Don't flood the boards by making the same request over and over. Make your request and then bookmark the topic. That way you can get back to that topic. Reply to it to bump it back to the top of the board.

2. Most people are playing the second MTC game. If you want to request cards for the first MTC game please put "SS" in your topic. Like "Need SS 3,4,5" or "Need SS cards please"

3. Don't expect freebies when you use a comment like "Best offer your gonna get!". I recommend the "No gift for you" one.

4. Don't waste board space whining about people asking for freebies if you don't give out freebies. Just ignore them.

5. I almost always counter offers. I do it for several reasons. One, it lets me know if the person still needs the cards they asked for. Two, it lets me know if they asked for everything possible or just a few of my extras. Three, it doesn't waste cards. (If I accept an offer and that person never plays again the cards are wasted, but if I make a counter offer and they never play again, then I still have the cards.)

Thanks for the freebie drsteveo! It finished my collection!
Thanks for the freebies valeriana, cyberpsi and onlyalexis (my cousin's name is Alexis!).
Thanks for the great offers shellyd and firedog1969.
I'll repay your kindess as soon as I can!

I'm going to start tracking people that I think deserve free card offers. It may be because they have a history of offering free cards. It may be because they are helpful. It may just be that they posted something original that made me laugh. (Don't forget that I've seen A LOT and it's hard to post something original that makes me laugh.)
