So I am getting like 3 sealed booster boxes in, and I just traded away something really expensive so I am expecting some extra MTG cash, and I just lost it and went spending on Standard cards that I needed... Again... At my LGS...
I know, I know! I am supposed to wait until after rotation to pick this stuff up, but I just could not help it! I could have maybe saved like $100 if I would have waited, but you know I am supporting my LGS! Yeah, supporting the LGS, that is what I am going to go with today!
I did only pick up cards I needed, and there was not any speculation going on. Ok that is a mistake, I did grab a bunch more of those Battlebond dual lands. I do want to keep grabbing those as longs as I can. I really like those cards and what they provide to the EDH community.
So yeah, lets see what I picked up this weekend...
I know, what the hell is this thing? Well I traded one away and I did not want to cancel the send because I just hate that, so I took the mistake and sent one out of the collection. This is the replacement of that send.
Here are Battlebond Mythic Rares I needed for the first print playsets. I do not really think these will go anywhere, but I am going to pick them up.
Here are those Battlebond lands I love so much. I would not call this a speculation, but there is hope that they will go up in price later down the line and I can trade them for other cards I might need.
I snagged these because I think they will be powerful when the Ravnica sets get released, but it is pure speculation and I wanted to grab them before they might pop.
So yeah, $7 I could not pass it up for the playset finish.
I was really trying to finish out my Amonkhet and Hour sets, but these were the only 2 that were available. Still need one more for the complete Hour playset.
Here are the Rivals of Ixalan I picked up, and yes it is about 1 year to soon to be grabbing these, but with Ravnica coming back, and mana fixing will be around I thought I would just try and grab all the mythics before they might pop with some new standard deck.
And yes, same deal with Ixalan. I just wanted to grab all the mythics at lower prices before they popped with some new Standard deck that comes out of the rotation. I might have jumped the gun, and it is a mistake considering my plan, but I just did it.
Ok so this last one I just had to do. It is something I really wanted and I love this card. This is not a speculation and everyone of these went into my collection. I just love this card in EDH. It is just a fun lifesaver. There are so many board wipes, and this is just the perfect counter to those. I do tend to play pretty aggressive, so this fits in really well with my decks.
So yeah, that is it. I still need to get my new sealed booster boxes in, and I really hope my send goes through. The USPS said someone signed for it, but the trader said he was not home. So I am a little afraid on this one. He is a really well known trader, but I have read a Reddit post about a signature before on a package, and it did not end up well for the sender. I do not think the trader is doing something funny, and I am just scared something strange happened. It is just cardboard, and I cant take it too seriously, but I will update the blog after everything gets figured out.
I am off to a CardSphere meet up! Hope to have posts about it soon!
