I agree with the rest of your post, but this little bit needs a caveat.

If both sides of the trade are happy with the trade BUT ONE SIDE IS TOTALLY RIPPING OFF THE OTHER SIDE then prices are an issue.

This doesn't happen often -- mostly in Magic -- but I've seen it in every "collectible" hobby enough that it's worth noting for the community.

I'm with you Kev.

But a gentleman doesn't rip other person off in a trade.

People who prey on noobs to trade high value cards for crap are, at least to me, more or less akin to pedophiles.

You shouldnt buy it! It doesnt work!

A bit unrelated, but at this weekend tournament in denmark we started talking about how this card can have any effect at all

Requires a Black Hand vampire. Only usable when the action is announced.
Remove this card from the game when it is played. If the action is successful, move one card played by this vampire during this action from your ash heap to your hand. Discard down to your hand size.

As you play the card, the very first thing you do is remove it from the game. How does the effect trigger after the action is successful, if it no longer in the game?

Why the card should not work exactly ? I mean, if I play conditioning, and someone remove the conditionning from my ash heap, my blmeed is still at +3 (or +2). Why would this be different here ?

Ohlmann, I think Nikolaj is joking with us. I know a few guys from Denmark and they have tried to sell me many bridges over there.

But if he's not, Art Of Memory works because it is removed from the game AFTER its effect is created. So where the card itself is doesn't matter; it's the effect that is held over until a later time, when the effect itself triggers.

All the Danes are smartass Alecs and instead of listening to them you should beat them with a stick. Preferably a big one.

Besides in their nation that consists mainly of several islands have plenty of bridges to sell.
