Trade my Selesnya Surge for your Golgari Growth

The Trading Post forum

I asked for the Azorius and Golgari decks at MTG Deals in Rosemead last night, but when I got home I found they slipped me a Selesnya deck instead, which is the one deck I didn't want. Didn't notice until I opened the box & boosters, so they wont allow me to trade it.

The deck itself is still in its plastic wrap, but the box and booster have been taken out. Looking to trade it for the Golgari Growth RTR intro deck. I'm located in Los Angeles county in South Pasadena/Alhambra.

Deck list can be found here: selesnya surge

A few reasons:

My roommate has never played magic until about a month ago. And I was returning from a 12 year haitus, so the M13 intro packs familiarized him with the rules and provided me with some insight into the new abilities/mechanics.

Second, in order to build a M13 deck of the same consistency would've set me back a few fat packs, at least. To kick things off we both picked up intro decks, then a couple fat packs and deckbuilder tool kits. The fat packs were entirely useless from a beginner's stand point without the tool kit, and the tool kit lacked consistency to create a properly themed deck. The intro decks, hands down, provided to greatest fun/dollar ratio. So since RTR is the second release since we got into MTG, we opted to try out the intro decks again to get the best overall feel of the new release without buying a bunch of fat packs.

Well.. that second point is mostly for me. My roommate went ahead and bought 2 fat packs, whereas I only got Selesnya deck.

That's fair enough, intro and event decks are always good places to start.
