[James Mills]

I have a complete set of shards online.

[Ben Titmarsh]

Trade that shit in blud

[James Mills]

I will want some decent stuff. I'm looking to play constructed online.

When I'm not at work I will work out what I'm looking for.

Pulses are probably top on the need list.

[Ben Titmarsh]

By trade in I meant you should redeem them for real cards if you have a full set, but I guess if you are playing constructed then you won't want to. Whats your MODO nick? We can just open up a trade window online to see if we can work something out.

[Thomas David Baker]

Just out of interest, why are you trading them in? Aren't you going to play Constructed on MODO post-rotation?

Constructed is the "best value" activity on MTGO according to LSV:

And it makes a great testing environment even if your focus is paper.

[Ben Titmarsh]

I read that LSV article and don't entirely agree. It sort of depends on what you are looking for, if you're looking to grind out playing the same constructed deck for hours and hours for a profit of 0.5 pack/hour or something ridiculous then fine. I don't enjoy constructed as much and am just looking to improve my drafting. I could do this by selling on all of the cards I've drafted each time, but that feels too much like I'm throwing money at Wizards. By cashing in sets at least I've got something to show and had a good time along the way. I always sell any duplicate money cards that I have, and I've managed to sustain over 30 drafts without putting any more money in, just winning lots and selling the cards I already have to fund my next draft. This will probably all be coming to an end soon as I only have enough product and trade value for 2 more drafts (had enough for 5 at one point).

4322s are easy and people pass you money because the cards aren't "real".

I want any online pulses, bloodbraids, blasts, leeches etc you have - basically anything that fits into jund cascade

Might as well get a head start on the new standard format and start testing online.

Also you can get the junk rares that you need at MTGO Trader. They are not expensive!

[Ben Titmarsh]

Yeah, thats a last resort. I'd prefer to get them lumped in on a trade if possible.

[James Mills]

We can trade if you like. My user is 'thuganomics'

Oddly enough despite the fact that I only have about 20 or 30 rares online I have all of the following:

Master of E
Tezzeret, the S
Covenant of M
Violent U
Sarkhan V

Knight of the R

In fact your Shards list looks like a list of the Rares that I have from Shards. Spooky.

[Ben Titmarsh]

Hi Tom,

I've traded for the rest, but really need your Sarkhan and Tezzeret. Are there any real paper cards you need that I can trade for them? I might have a few things you need online, but only constructed cards really are wall of rev and canonist now I think.

Ben.

I don't have much value stuff since I sell everything after drafting. I didn't realise that this many people I know play modo so from now on I'll hang on to stuff and people can have it for bot buy prices as far as I'm concerned.
