Ravnica cards needed

So, there are quite a few cards from the Ravnica set I do not have. I thought I did, i remember playing them and having 10-12 of each. And then I remembered that was when I was drafting on MTGO all the time - I don't have any of these in physical form. Anyway, This is a call for help from people in the area - if you have any of these cards and would be willing to part with them, please contact me!

Update on the Magic Cube

So I made my list and looked through my cards as best I could. I'm searching the gatherer database now to see if there are any reprints I can use.

Great news: I've got the full set of Guildpact!

Good news: I've got almost a complete set of commons for 2 more of the sets. Here's the list of the few cards I need to complete the following sets:

INVASION


Chromatic Sphere (Art.)
Llanowar Knight (G/W)
Yavimaya Barbarian (G/R)
Recoil (U/B)
Vodalian Zombie (U/B)
Galina's Knight (U/W)
Cremate (B)
Firescreamer (B)
Protective Sphere (W)
Strength of Unity (W)

PLANESHIFT


Steel Leaf Paladin (G/W)
Horned Kavu (G/R)
Hull Breach (G/R)
Cavern Harpy (U/B)
Malicious Advice (U/B)
Daring Leap (W/U)
Silver Drake (W/U)
Mire Drake (R)
Shriek of Dread (B)
Aurora Griffin (W)

I know I have some of these around somewhere. I guess I'll have to look through my cards... again. I'll wait a little while first.

Oh, if you're in Portland, reader, and would like to give me some of these cards, I'd be happy to meet you at the FLGS of your choice!

Pauper Cube - Rebirth

Looking at Gamestorm 2012 planed events, I saw some Magic drafts that I totally want in on. And that got me thinking about my pauper cube.

I decided long ago that I didn't want to design the cube like some had, I wanted it to be as much like a WotC designed set as possible. So I'd just buy one of each common from a block or two, and that would be my cube. I also decided on Ravnica block and Invasion block. They're not the cheapest sets to get, but since it's only commons and I have most of them it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

At this point, I was torn - I want to do the pauper cube to save money. Like, I don't want to spend any at all if I can help it. But at the same time, I want to have a good experience without that lame feeling when you just throw a bunch of cards together.*

So I gave up on it then, putting off buying the sets on eBay until I don't know what. But now I'm thinking about it and I realize I have most of the cards I want in the cube. I just have to do the legwork to track them down.

So I'm making a list of all the commons in the Ravnica block and the Invasion block, and I'm going to keep them with my magic cards. Whenever I feel like it, I'll sort through some and if I find one on the list, I'll check it off and put it in a special box just for the cube. I don't want to get obsessed over this, especially since I don't really know anyone who actively wants to play magic. But I want the cube around, maybe just to sit on the board game shelf. I'd be able to go "Does anyone want to draft the cube?" when people are looking for something to do.

I think a future goal would be for me to actually have a group of friends who hang out and play games. Then I can try to solve the problem of what to play.
