14,887 Been gone for a bit

I picked up all my Battle for Zendikar cards, and I picked up a bunch of singles.  Also picked up some SDCC sets, but I have been away from writing this blog because I have been trying to deal with a death in the family.  I should be able to update more now, and I will try and catch up with some photos of some things I have picked up, but it has been a while since I have posted so I am really not sure where I left off.

I am just going to post this, and try and do a reset as to where I am.  More posts to come.

13,816 Couple added but I missed 4 cards somewhere

I was able to pick these two in a trade for a Modern Masters 2015 Noble Hierarch, so in my eyes it was a great pickup.  Trading away a reprint for a couple of modern staples is a good pickup in my eyes.

On a different note, I am only adding 2 cards to the inventory, but I am showing a new add of 6, so somewhere something got added to the collection that I just can't seem to find.  I am not seeing anything in my sort pile outside of the trades I have done, so not sure what happened.  Just wonsering if I did a typo somewhere.

Hopefully I can find the mistake and correct the issue.

13,822 Modern Land for Standard cards

So what I liked about this trade, I got a pretty good Eventide land for a bunch of current standard cards.  What can't you like about that?  Well the trader was a bit picky in wanting to call it a downtrade, and I was not really specific on my trading rules, so I went through with it.  I also updated my profile to say that I do not consider trades under $50 a down trade.  Positive note, I am pretty sure I will be up by at least $10 on this trade considering all the standard cards I traded away.

13,823 Crucible and an Alara Reborn card

Picked up these two things of beauty.  Had to trade away some EDH stuff to get them, but all in all a good trade.  I am a bit down from the trade since it was proposed, but I think I will do good on this one.  Only 4 more Alara Reborn cards left to fill out the set, and my first Tenth Edition Crucible.

15,015 Modern pickup while I pick up my PreOrder

As always, before I go into my LGS I search their website for things to buy.  And looks like they picked up a couple of things I have been looking for.  And I also picked up some stuff I was not looking for!  :)

Blood Moon, Hallowed Fountains, and the Twilight Mire were what I ordered before I went into the store, and added a Wrath of God from Tenth, along with 4 Tendo Ice Bridges.  Funny thing is I thought the Tendo Ice Bridges were lands I needed from Coldsnap, and did not realize that I bought something I really wasn't looking for until I got home and added them to my spreadsheets.

Anywho... I am just happy I got another Blood Moon!

BAM!  As with every set I buy, I try and pick up a playmat.  Got me some Liliana, which I think was the best art of the Planewalker Origin's playmats.  I also picked up a trade binder.  This is not any trade binder though.  Normal trade binders have 9 slots on each page, but this trade binder comes in 4 X 3 pages.  So that means you can show off your complete playset in the binder!!!  How cool is that?! So yeah, it was about time I picked up one of these, and I am sad it took me this long to do it.  I am sure happy I watched that Tolarian Community College YouTube video that exposed me to this wonderful binder.

13,825 Wasteland for some Modern Gold

So yes, I traded away a Wasteland for these stupid cards.  And yes, I was sober when I did it.  But really, I picked up a couple of lands and my final Azura, what more could I ask for.  And before you say that the lands will more than likely be reprinted in MM set, I poop on you.

13,829 Ensnare my Bridge!

Ok, so this one was another down trade, but I feel bad about this one.  He was looking for a bunch of Standard cards, and this was the only card I could find that I needed from him, and he was willing to do the trade, but I expect that I will be up on this trade after Khans rotates out of Standard.  It was the second trade with this local trader, so maybe if he starts up another trade I will see if I can adjust it more in his favor.
