So, as you know (or are about to learn), Ellusionist is giving away special playing cards with every purchase - the more you buy, the more you get. Match these cards into poker hands as listed
here and you can get prizes as listed
here.
So, maybe you got doubles, or even triples, and you don't need them. Maybe someone else has the cards you DO need. Put up a post RIGHT HERE, and maybe you guys can make each other happy and claim some of those prizes! Post cards you have that you're willing to trade and cards you want in exchange. Cards don't necessarily have to be traded one-for-one, either - that's up to you. I mean, if you're going to get a prize and the other person's getting one as well, who cares how many cards you traded for however many cards you needed to get there, right?
For the duration of Ellusionist's holiday contest, I'm going to keep this as a sticky topic! Per the forum rules, post your trades on this topic before you execute them.
And, for the record, gang - those rare cards in each set exist in MINUTE quantities! Which is to say that there is exactly ONE corresponding to each prize in each tier. Don't hold your breath that someone will trade that card away! But if you happen to have that lucky, rare card, trading for the common ones you don't have is the best use of this topic. Unless you don't want the prize and would rather trade the card for something else.
Lastly, as confirmed by Jake (Xntrix) from Ellusionist, you MUST HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED CARDS to claim the prize. No substitutes, photocopies, computer scans, digital photos, etchings, negatives, promissory notes, letters from Mom that your dog ate it, etc.
Here are the cards needed for each prize. Any card suspected of being the rare card in a particular hand/prize tier is highlighted in red. If it's a tossup between more than one card, they're all listed in pink. You can't make card substitutions to make the hand - you have to have these exact cards.
