Welcome to Got Trades

Hey everyone JT here. Ok so little intro about me. I'm 21 and I've lived in Las Vegas, NV for my entire life mostly and have played Magic: The Gathering since Portal so that would be around 13 years at this point. When I first played and up until about 6 months ago I never really traded for the cards I needed or wanted. If I wanted to build a deck I either:

A. Bought the cards for myself.
B. Borrowed them from friends for the night.
C. Cried and built some jank budget version of the deck.

Then I started trading and found I was pretty good at it. I never berated someone for thinking their cards was worth way more then it should be nor did I overprice my own cards. I found that every trade I have been making over the last 6 months or so has been for value and I've at least doubled my collection and inherent value since then. So I created this blog to record my trades and thoughts on the game as a whole. If you are a Vegas player feel free to hit me up for trading or playtesting whenever, I'm at Action Comics whenever possible. With tonight being FNM I normally wait until after the swiss is over to start cracking binders but I think I'm going all-in tonight in order to gain the most value. After all Nationals is over and everyone will be looking to play Soul SIsters and Dredgevine.
