Where do people buy their cards from?

Is it still peasant or not as I am thinking of building some new deck.

Hope you don't mind, I split this off from the General rules thread.

The peasant thing kinda died a death, mainly because people still wanted to use old rares.

I've found the best availability/price to be Troll & Toad Europe:

We've generally been using:

And

http://www.thecardcellar.co.uk/

I don't know if these are any cheaper than Teflon's recomendation. Euros vs pounds, and I don't think I can be bothered to do the maths.

I was bored, and into maths, so I did a comparison.

10th Edition booster pack, from Troll and Toad, is E3 (that's 3 euros). Packaging is E2. Total is E5, or £4.15.

10th Edition booster pack from Magic Madhouse is £3.45 (dearer). Packaging is £1 (cheaper). Total £4.45.

So, there isn't much in it price wise. You may get a better price from Troll & Toad for the cards, but I have a feeling if you buy a lot in one go the packaging would make it dearer than Magic Madhouse.
