Ok so here was a fantastic trade. I got some really good cards from the want list, finishing out my Doubling Seasons, and my first Fulminator Mages. I was also able to pick up a couple more Eventide lands, and a couple steps closer to my Shards of Alara set.
Shadowmoor and Eventide are great pickups because they are some of the most needed Modern sets I am in search of. I am starting to think that this search for Modern sets is going to be more painful than the Legacy cards. Granted I had most of the really expensive cards, and it was painful down trading for a lot of throwaway rares, but I hope it pays off in the end.
Back in the day when Alpha cards were less expensive than the Beta because of the corners and no one wanted them, I should have picked up those cards. Now by no means do I think the inflation of the Legacy sets I just picked up by the same rate, but I do think that the prices of these lesser collected sets will show in time.
Big win here is I only had to trade away a foil Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, 3 Den Protectors, and 1 Mistcutter Hydra. A foil that I could care less about, and 4 standard cards that I will be able to pickup for 1/5 the price they are at now.
