Can Safe Passage be cast at the beginning of your upkeep, or your opponent's upkeep, and prevent all damage for the entire turn? Or, does it need to be cast in response to a spell that deals damage or a creature that deals damage?

Yeah, absolutely, that's a great way to use it. However, I'm most interested in using it to stall by casting it at the beginning of my opponent's turn, receiving no damage on his turn, insuring that I get at least one more turn.Those type of cards are more or less used right after an opponet attacks/or trys to deal damage to a creature. than You can drop it after knowing 100% they were going to do deal the damage....Rather than using it at the beginning when your opponet may not have anything planned. So basicly have your guys deal damage while not taking any in return. or if you attack you can drop if after they choose blockers.

Hwhat!? Nice!If he burns the bird when you tap it, you'll still get the mana from the bird.
Well, because if he did draw a burn, and I waited until he attacked to play the Safe Passage, then he could burn my Bird in response. Since the Bird would still have Summoning Sickness, I couldn't tap it.If you wait for either the bolt or the attack, you'll have more information. There is no reason to cast it immediatly upon the upkeep, as what if they didn't draw burn? Why not make them swing with their three creatures before preventing the damage?

By casting the Passage during his upkeep, it ensures that my Bird won't get burned and that I won't get attacked. That's all I'm worried about in this scenario.

Zendikar is noteworthy among Magic sets for also including older "Power" cards, randomly and sparsely distributed in booster packs. These cards include the Power Nine, some of the most valuable cards ever printed.

Booster boxes were $95 on Troll and Toad a few days ago; I just checked and they are up to $119 already. Seriously, though, this might be a set where it's better to get boxes now, rather then wait a few months when they're going for $300.
Edit: Though I've been meaning to ask... What is the most cost effecient way to buy MtG cards? Booster boxes, booster packs, or individually?

This is why I really need to pick up a webcam, and am close to doing so. I need to personally show you the error of your ways with such strategy. Mwahaha.

Before you go and do something stupid, let me spell it out:
One 'Treasure' per case, if that. There's been a report of one case containing TWO. ONE CASE. A case is twelve boxes.
The treasures DO happen to include things like the Lotus, Moxen, Dual Lands, and various high-dollar cards... however, they also contain things such as Hymn to Tourach, Phrexian Devourers, and things that are similarly legendary or infamous for their power, but not worth more than $5.

Yeah, my current plan is to (slowly) buy one box of each set, and then buy individual cards as needed. (With lots of MCE proxies to round out the edges.Booster boxes cases from a local card shop that'll let you pre-buy them for cost of case plus ten percent.
)
