Back from.... Vacation?

So I haven't posted anything new for the past... 8 days.... Frankly I have only played Magic in one of those 8 days, and that was a legacy event where I went  2-1 with Dredge. But one other big thing that has happened was the opened of my New Phyrexia box. Given the option of a Japanese box, I simply couldn't resist! As with all boxes, theres some goodies but theres also a whole lot of bulk. Here's the straight juice I opened in my box:

2x Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Foil Phyrexian Obliterator
Foil Gitaxian Probe
2x Mental Misstep
Spellskite

And then there was a ton of bulk, haha. But just those cards alone are worth more than the entire box. Foil Japanese cards are at an extreme premium these days. Foil Japanese Gitaxian Probe is currently going for $25 on eBay, and Foil Japanese Phyrexian Obliterator is going for $95! To say the least, I can't wait to move these for some sweet legacy staples! 1-for-1 Obliterator into a Tropical Island is pretty much equal, and that is a trade I could make any day! I love me some foreign cards, so I absolutely look forward to going all japanese all the time from here on out with boxes that I order for each set!

So the only other thing that I have done for the past week+ Magic-wise has been Legacy. Right now, I have 4 decks withing the 15 proxy limit: Dredge, ANT, Counter-top, and Painted Stone. I am ever so slowly trading my way up to fill out all 3 decks, and I'm only one 25 cent common short of filling out Dredge!

Dredge
Deep Analysis

ANT
Thoughtseize
3x Dark Confidant

Counter-Top
Sword of Feast and Famine
Swords to Plowshares
Seat of the Synod
Stoneforge Mystic
4x Bitterblossom
Firespout
3x Dark Confidant

Painted Stone
4x Intuition
2x Goblin Welder
4x Seat of the Synod
Great Furnace
2x Painter's Servant
Firespout

Of course, just having all the decks is cool, but everyone who has traded with me before knows I love pimping out my decks! Foiling out Legacy? Why not! Of course... foil legacy cards are far more expensive! Here are the relative prices on a variety of Dredge cards based on SCG values:

Golgari Grave Troll:    2 -> 15  x7.5
Breakthrough:            3 -> 10  x3.33
Cephalid Colliseum:  4 -> 15  x3.75
Stinkweed Imp:        0.25 -> 2  x8
Golgari Thug:              1 -> 5  x5
Careful Study:             1 -> 8  x8
Ichorid:                     5 -> 35  x7
Putrid Imp:                 1 -> 6  x6
Cabal Therapy:         6 ->15 x2.5

Wow! So on average, an all foil dredge deck is going to cost 4.77 times more! A deck that probably costs 100 to make besides Underground Seas and LED is now a $500 deck! Well... Its not easy, and I'm not looking to do it fast, but when oportunity presents itself, I'm absolutely going in on it!

Anyways, I don't have much to say today, but I wanted to get back to writing and hopefully I can get back on track with a post every other day+. Until next time, stay classy!
