18 years later

Darn right I am tooting my horn about acquiring a Volcanic Island. I haven't owned one for 18 years. (Things where different then) I had a full playset of duals back in the day, even had one of those Unlimited Plateaus just because of the different art. Oh those were the days.

First, the bulk trade with Card Kingdom went smoother than I expected. It did take about 2 weeks to complete, start to finish. Out of the 400 some cards I sent in, 5 were returned in total. Not too shabby.

I seriously debated which version of the volcanic to order, NM or EX, or GD. I settled on EX which let me acquire a couple other things as well. No way I was getting a City of Traitors, but did fill my SnS sideboard with the last 3 cards I did not have in legal paper.

Second, I found a small stack of more tradable cards in a drawer after I got the cards in. I don't think it would have mattered TOO much, but that annoyed me.

Third, my trade stock is pretty much null. Unless you really want less than $1 bulk rares, in which case I have a whole 800 count box to sell you.  :)

Fourth, I really need to review my DeckBox trade list. Still feels off after removing all the cards I shipped off to CK.


Other notes-

- Looks like I will be able to attend this weeks local legacy.
- No CHANCE I can make the free tournament Game Hunters is putting on Sunday, Mothers Day? really guys?
- I made about 90% of Gul_Dukat's Orzhov Knights deck for Arena, it is a BEAST. I am buying whatever that guy is selling.
- Looks like I just missed the boat on True-Name. Caught 1 before it is back up to almost $20. Still might use some store credit to pick up another Thursday depending on their price.
- Interesting prospective regarding Legacy and the London Mulligan. I am still of the camp that if/when it gets adopted, the ban hammer is coming and well- Grisel-daddy takes one on the chin.
- Modern Horizons might shake up Legacy more than War of the Spark, which isn't really hard to do yet. If Wizards implements both the new mulligan and the new set at the same time, gonna be a confusing time.
- If you haven't caught the Narset hype-train, we still have seats for you. Thank goodness she is an uncommon. Good luck finding a decent priced Foil of her.
