Pack to Power: Intro and Trade #1

My turn to post!

For those of you that didn't read my initial Pack to Power post, the goal here is to take these 3 booster packs and use the cards inside to gradually trade up until we have enough card value to get a piece of Power Nine.

What we opened:

Worldwake(gotta chase the Jace!)



Rise of the Eldrazi



Magic 2010

Avenger of Zendikar is the only real money card, and a very good pull. The foil Deathless Angel and a few others(Sign in Blood, See Beyond, Explore, Ajani's Pridemate, Searing Blaze, and the full art Island) provide at something of at least slight interest to the rest of the packs.

Trade 1.

I'm an angel collector(they're perty), so I had to have the foil Deathless for my collection. Here's what happened:

Note: Card values are all from magiccards.info, and the prices were accurate as of the date of each trade.

Trade:
Foil Deathless Angel - 4.93
Total: 4.93

For:
Foil 8th edition Megrim - 3.38
Vampire Hexmage - .74
It That Betrays - .81
Promo Curse of Wizardry - .99
Total: 5.92

5.92 - 4.93 = .99

Profit: +0.99

At the time this was a decent trade, but since then the price of the angel has decreased, and everything except Curse of Wizardry has increased, making it a pretty great trade now.

Check out this hot trade action!




You know you want that Megrim.
