Just one more mailday post of 2023.
The last couple of years I have had a plan for what to buy. This year I only needed one card to check the whole list. A single Mirror Universe.
And it hit my door just a couple of days ago…
That was great! Then I was able to build the Spicy NecroLich I posted earlier. But what was even greater, was the fact that this card has really plummeted in price since I decided I needed another one a year ago. It seems to be the rule for most cards these days. I like it. Of course it also makes my collection worth a lot less, but I don’t care. What I care about is the price of cards I need, not the price of cards I will never get rid of anyway…
But this wasn’t the only Christmas present I have bought for myself this year.
A month or so ago, fellow Team Metageyser Wednesday Wizard Casper showed me a set of cards, he had got when buying a collection. A set of cards I was chanceless against. I mean how does one even fight against such beauty?
I mean! What to do. This is not exactly one of the cards I play most by any standard. But I do like to play Ice Storm sometimes. And I really like them in Beta edition. When Casper offered me to take my set of Unlimited copies in trade and a really favorable friend price, I had to do it.
And I will not regret it. Beta cards are very much my thing…
And this concludes my buying spree of 2023. Maybe not really a spree, but I have added a bunch of sweet, sweet cardboard to the binders this year. And I am already thinking about what I should prioritize next year. Hooray the never-ending hunt for beauty!
