I am running a seasonal power exchange, where people will get a random Magic: the Gathering card from their secret Elder Dragon (I love when they give up their power so easily). If you are interested in receiving (and giving, even though it is the receiving season) a card then please PM me.

Your PM must include:

Name
Address
Additional Contact 1
Limiting Information 2

I also require a PM to be sent within 48hrs when a package is sent or received. Tracking is not required but is highly encouraged (especially since, for US residents, flat rate Priority mail comes with free tracking and $50 free insurance) and if used, the tracking info should be in the PM as well.

Failure to PM your contact information by the deadline will preclude inclusion in the program.
Failure to PM package information (when you sent or received) will prevent participation in next year's program. You have been warned.

Please feel free to post a 'requests' post with the type of cards that you would be most excited about getting (remember you're not going to get a black lotus so keep it realistic and remember these are requests you are not guaranteed to get any of them). Because I always encourage the defacement of property, alters are always encouraged, especially sharpy based items. Previously successful request schema include:

Linking a decklist from which options may be chosen (if you reference a deck, link it)
Altered/Promo versions of Generals being played
Alter requests - Specific card(s) (something like "Altered Storm Crow" - IGottaBigDeck's request)
Alter Requests - Specific theme (something like "any card altered to Dora the Explorer theme" - Shabbaman's Request)
Cards signed by the sender
Interesting Generals (altered or not)
Old cards that woul not see printing now (abilities out of rarity or color like Sinbad, odd effects like Balduvian Shaman)
Tokens (altered or not)

This is an EDH forum so EDH staples are probably the best type of card to send. Also altered or signed versions of cards help make your gift unique. Changes to what you are wishing for should be made by updating the original post (since that will be linked to you name on this page). A PM or post in the thread that you have updated that information is appreciated.

The second post of this thread will have all information summarized and linked by participant.

Number of Participants: 17

Tally:

*All Parcels have been sent*

*All Parcels have been received*

4 Donations received (Maiden 77, Celerus, Masked Thespian and Treamayne)

3 Foil 10th Edition Russian Spark Elementals.

Or just random nonfoil edh things, Greater Good being the only big ticket item I need.

I am otherwise happy with a bunch of sharpied burnished harts.

I am so in. I am building a new cube and am looking for specific basic lands(like sixty of each), I don't care if they are foil or not but sharpie altered is nearly a must.


But any card that forces interactions with players is also cool.

I'm in (will PM shortly).

Requests, you say? My next EDH project is a Sydri, Galvanic Genius deck revolving around putting as many copies of Lux Cannon into play as humanly possible (yes, seriously). Therefore, I would be very pleased to see what someone interested in alters could do with Sydri herself. Failing that, foily or altered Lux Cannonry would be very welcome, or just anything that people think would be rather funny or effective in that sort of deck.

Current decklist can be found here: http://deckstats.net/decks/9175/139665-g-tterd-mmerung

Definitely in for this. I am looking for ANY of the below generals altered, this is for my cube, which I am currently foiling, but these ones can't be foiled as they are only in the precons! Or any foil God, also for the cube



Some of these are quite expensive though, so altered dragons are also very happily recieved. I collect them, so literally any. (If anyone has a spare Zodiac Dragon... )

I had fun last year, and I would really like to participate again. I'm pretty simple--dragons, Greater Good, or whatever.

Find something that interests you personally, and make it into a gift. You can't make a mistake with whatever you send.

The only other thing I can think of is my King Macar deck uses tokens as lands. My intent is to someday alter them all so they look turned to gold.

I can't wait to get digging into what I'm sending. Too bad the Storm Crow thing didn't work out...

In for sure! PM sent.

I think my next project is Anowon, the Ruin Sage semi-STAX. Anything vamp or on-theme related as an alter would be super-awesome! Anything would be great, looking forward to it.

Updated to here. Soliciting for feedback on the organization of information - do you all like the "single source of data" for each participant so far, rather than 1 wish spoiler (and a package tracking spoiler eventually)?

i think it all sounds awesome thus far

The current organization looks great.

In as always!

Dasteksteel Elephant wnated specifics:

Path to Exile (any amunt)
Swords to Plowwshares (any amount)
Qasali Pridemage (any amount)
Elesh Norn (Pricy so no worries if out of range)
Seedborn Muse (Black bordered preferred)
Hushwing Gryff
Aven Mindcensor
Rifstone PortalÉ (The land that grants GW ability to all lands while in graveyard)
That fat 15/15 worm that's GW or am I imagining that....there's Worlspine Wurm too.
Brushland (any black bordered preferred)
Angel of Dire Hour
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

Basically taxing stuff, hate bears, ramp...


NOT CARRIER PIGEONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. EVEN LESS ALTERED ONES. >:(

Are sure SURE?

Just kidding.

Also, I think the current set-up of information is perfect. Also, how in the heck did I miss the donation spoiler before? I'm totally doing this. I need to look through and see what I have...the $1/pre-con limit is going to be the trick though. With my luck, a card I have completely no use for will end up being a magnitude greater in price (and doesn't go along with whatever I'm sending for Grixmas proper).

Like I said before, definitely in for this.

I could use a few non-player-rewards Cryptic Commands... actual text-have is good. Or if someone wants to paint Trogdor, the Burninator on a Flameblast Dragon, then I could stop using the slip of paper in the sleeve in my Karrthus deck. Beyond that, something unique that I can show off. Bonus points if it fits in the Helldagriff deck.

Yep in for this. I will be sending registered mail/tracking this time, since my package got lost last year

Also, whoever gets me as a victim needs to be ok with sending cards overseas - I live in New Zealand

Edit:
Stuff I want - Morphs! I'm trying to build a mono-U Ixidor, deck and I don't have enough old-school morphs! Especially stuff like Master of the Veil, Weaver of Lies, Riptide Survivor, Aphetto Runecaster, and so on
