Upgrades

Yes, it has been two months since I reported out Legacy anything. Due to some unforeseen issues, I couldn't make my weekly legacy at MTGfirst. It happens, and I hope to be back as soon as I can. In he mean time, I have filled the itch with swapping another large set of cards to upgrade. I've watched streamed Legacy, I've tried to draft Throne of Eldraine, and listen to podcasts. Nothing really fills the need like playing in person though. Nothing.

In May I did my first Card Kingdom card swap for a single Volcanic Island and some other cards. So, with my new found free time in Legacy I threw a bunch of cards into the trade material. After I got done, I found over $300 in trade material. Most of which I would never use in decks I cared about.

Here is what I got:

2 Ultimate Masters Cavern of Souls
2 Ultimate Masters Dark Depths
1 Force of Will
1 Surgical Extraction
4 Once Upon a Time
4 Elvish Spirit Guide


I liked the art on the new Dark Depths to be honest. Thats why I got that version.
I got the two Ultimate Masters Cavern of Souls because they were the cheapest by about $10. Made sense.

I needed the 2nd Surgical extraction for sideboards. The price had finally fallen below $25 again. I wanted the Once Upon a Time for two different decks, the first an Eldrazi stompy deck. Really appeals to me.

So what happens with these cards? I finished my paper legal Eldrazi deck. I am now 4 cards away from my Sneak and Show paper legal deck. (2 Volcanics and 2 Scalding Tarns)
My Depths deck might never be paper legal, but I really enjoy playing the proxied up and understanding it.

Paper legal for the first time since 2000

Play set of Caverns of Souls, even if my ocd is not happy
