Breaking Down Deck

The Trading Post forum

Posted on Oct. 16, 2013, 11:34 p.m. by ecaspi12

So I've gotten bored of my dimir control deck and I've decided to break it apart. I'm instead making an American Master of Waves deck and need some, actually most of the cards. On my profile is my current dimir control deck, which is what I mostly have to trade. The waves deck is also on my profile, which are the cards I am going to be wanting. I'm trying to avoid getting shocklands until last, I'm more concered with aquiring Master of Waves and Purphoros, God of the Forge

well, here's a list of what I have from your deck that you are wanting to build (using TCG player as pricing)

1x Thassa, God of the Sea - $25
1x Purphoros, God of the Forge - $25
1x Master of Waves - $20
1x Tidebinder Mage - $5
1x Cyclonic Rift - $5
2x Young Pyromancer - $3 ea = $6
1x Bident of Thassa - $2
1x Teleportal - $0.50
2x Wall of Frost - $0.25 ea = $0.50
2x Goblin Electromancer - $0.25 ea = $0.50
2x Hands of Binding - $0.15 ea = $0.30

and pretty much most of the other cards such as Turn / Burn , 2x Magma Jet , Essence Scatter , Dissolve , Lightning Strike and Rapid Hybridization

So around $90-$95 in total worth

Now for what you have in this other deck that interests me:

2x Desecration Demon - $12 ea = $24
1x Hero's Downfall - $10
3x Temple of Deceit - $6 ea = $18
1x Cyclonic Rift - $5

that's $57 worth right there

and quite possibly a Thoughtseize or two @ $20 ea

but my other real needs/wants right now are for a Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Nightveil Specter if you have either of those not listed. Or an Erebos, God of the Dead not listed.

with Blood Baron at $20 and Nightveil at $7 that would be in the ballpark of $85 or so

So my trade offer would most likely be:
1x thassa/purphoros - $25
1x Tidebinder Mage - $5
1x Cyclonic Rift - $5
2x Young Pyromancer - $3 ea = $6
1x Bident of Thassa - $2
1x Teleportal - $0.50
2x Wall of Frost - $0.25 ea = $0.50
2x Goblin Electromancer - $0.25 ea = $0.50
2x Hands of Binding - $0.15 ea = $0.30
Total $45

for your:
1x Hero's Downfall - $10
3x Temple of Deceit - $18
1x Thoughtseize - $20
Total $48

I am sure we could find a couple of cards that aren't priced from your deck that would fill it out or make up some difference. If you want to proceed any further, get a hold of me on my page

I wish i had a Blood Baron of Vizkopa , and I don't currently have any Nightveil Specter . And just a question about the Thassa/Purphoros for $25. Is that both of them for 25 total?

No, they are $25 each, and now thassa is gone, so it would be purphoros in that slot. Please reply on my page so I know you have replied, or tag me [ [ shadowland ] ] (without the spaces between the brackets) and you will get this ecaspi12, otherwise I have no idea that you're replying
