I did a crapload of trading today with my friends Josh Quick and Dan, as well as with Peter. I got screwed on one or two, but I think I came out ahead.
With Quick:
1x Shivan Dragon
For
3x Megrim
The funny thing is, this was the one Dan laughed at me for. I won, going by both playability and value.
1x Grand Colliseum
4x Darksteel Ingot
??? Can't remember
For
1x Embargo
1x Tooth and Nail
2x Loxodon Punisher
Meh, I can't remember what else I traded, but I came out ahead.
With Dan
Keep in mind, this is the guy with a Yawgmoth's Bargain Deck and playsets of BOP and Coat of arms. He's been playing a lot longer than I have, but I'd say we're about equal skill wise.
1x Jens
1x Chalice Of The Void
For
1x Fork (Revised; Fair Condition)
Even trade for a restricted card.
1x Reshape
1x Chalice Of The Void
For
1x Starstorm
1x Reshape
For
1x Mudslide
Reshape is terrible. I'd rather just use fabricate, then play it from my hand. Plus, I have a playset of fabricates. Starstorm is great, though.
1x Visara, The Dreadful
For
1x Glorious Anthem
1x Blinkmoth Nexus
For
1x Glorious Anthem
All I have to say is, Ouch. What the hell was I thinking? I could have snagged both the anthems just for visara.
And the last one, with Peter
1x Noble Purpose
1x Sculpting Steel
3x Congregate
2x Arcbound Crusher
1x Shock
1x Kindle
1x Skullclamp
3x Whispersilk Cloak
2x Mountain
For
4x Shrapnel Blast
3x Raise the Alarm
2x Great Furnace
2x Arcbound ****ing Ravager!
I think I won that one by about 30 bucks. I told him that he was getting screwed, and he did the trade anyway. I mean, come on. 3x Congregate for a Ravager is just insane. Oh well, the only reason it's so valuable is that it's insane in Type 2.
