In Today's Game, What Cards Are You Looking For?
« on: November 11, 2020, 11:20:01 AM »

I have enjoyed recently the process of accumulating cards and making trades through the forums and discord. I has kind of been a fun hobby amidst the craziness of the current pandemic. This is my question...What cards are you looking for? I want to know what top 10-20 cards you all are looking for currently, for specific decks or just in general to have due to the value it has (for example: everyone has been asking me for an Endless Treasures). What are the cards you are always looking to trade for? I would like to know so that I have a better understanding as to what cards (and duplicates) I should hold onto in order to trade with all of you. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Stay classy. #IslandRegionNats2020

So I realize I'm an anomaly but I'm generally always looking for URs or "higher priced" rares.  I collect X amount of cards for me and my playgroup, so until I reach that number I am looking.  So because of this as I open more and more packs my stacks of commons becomes huge and rares tend to eventually catch up, so the URs are the hardest part for me.  I also have a stack of 16 decks that I keep built and add to that X total, so if there are some cards that make several of my decks stronger I will tend to leans towards them, most of these tend to be commons to help keep costs down.

So while not having checked all the trading threads here nor at discord IMO cards most often are searched for are staple URs like Remnant LS, Chronicles of the Kings etc. or staple Rares like Endless Treasures. Then after new sets have been released people seem to look for often used Rares/URs in addition like Joshua, the Conqueror for example.

At least I've been also looking a very long time for old staples like e.g. Nebby, or old often used cards like Magic Charms etc. (luckily I finally was able to trade them after all). So this is what I've been observing.

So I'm not really a collector but how I've always approached what cards I want is priority towards staple souls, Doms, and universally useful cards like Book of the Covenant or Sheol. After that I look to collect cards specifically for a deck I want to play and lastly cards that offer trade value.

So what I look for often is quite varied but always look for cards that are universally good as a top priority. Trading is always a funky thing cause I think players either fall into a category of collectors who know what they need or players who's wants and needs are more whimsical like myself.
