Traded

My current Deckbox.org trade queue

(no FNM drafting last night)

I've had more trades at one time right now than ever before. (see image)

If you notice, I have the Mana Drain queued up for shipment. Gonna plop it in the mailbox today.

Let me breakdown what I got here in order:

- 2 Stoneforge Mystics
- Fetid Pools (I like the cycling dual lands)
- Leyline of the Void, Defense Grid
- FoW (Alliances), Karakas (EM), Lotus Petal, 2 Monastery Mentor, Scalding Tarn (MM)
- 2 Flooded Strand (Kahns), Gonti, 2 Polluted Delta (Kahns)
- Unmask (Vault), 2 Dismembers

That's a lot of cards, good solid cards. And I am happy to get them to be honest. I need them for the various decks I enjoy. The Force of Will and Karakas are firsts, need to round out a play of FoW and at least 2 more Karakas. I don't need the Scalding Tarn so I am hoping to involve that in a trade for a Cavern of Souls, another FoW, or Karakas, etc.
The Stoneforges complete my playset I need. The Leyline completes my playset- god I hate dredge, HATE IT.
The Lotus Petal will replace a non-English language version I have.

I will say this now- I really like the dual lands from Amonkhet which cycle. I believe these will be a solid Modern card. The cycle ability is a powerful mechanic. Will it stand the test of time- I have no clue.

The funniest bit is that I wound up with 5 Flooded Strands. I have no clue how that happened. One back in to the trade binder for something else. Maybe I can find another Sneak Attack. That would be nice to land.


I still have no delusion about making a real Legacy deck, I just don't have the fire power to get the dual lands. $300 a shot for the prime ones is a road WAY too freaking far. If I can get the chance to play in a real tournament, I will have to count on friends to lend me thiers.

Until then- more trades to fill out my sub-$100 cards I need.

Small note- thanks TCGplayer for finding me a storefront where I was able to purchase 65 MM17 foil commons for a grand total of $3.36 shipped! I discovered that the Iconic Masters foil cards are not as easy to wipe for creating home made foils. Off to buy more MM17 while the prices are super duper cheap!
