Great read so far. Shame it fizzled out.

I’d love it to be trade only, but if the drafting is what would get you to finish the series then do it! Only the conclusion then has to be that you’d require more time per week to do it via trades, or once you get to the high cost cards it’s best to do it via other methods.

Heck – double the trade time available to get back into it

For a new player like me it’s great to see how much value you increased your collection by – will be trying to do this in paper cards!!

I agree that this was a “off” week for this column. and since that is the conlcusion from most and yourself i feel no need to further comment on that. Nice to see you reset it.

I do feel an urge to comment on the whole draft for profit issue though. Im a draft addict and ive tried to keep it going with minimal added resourses
in a past set i was also at 1900ish this set im stuck between 17-1800 and im not near breaking even and no way close to a profit.

Getting closer to breaking even is what this series is helping me to do !
So the article this week is to me a paradox. Im following this to help me break even doing what i love the most and in week 19 im told that i should just do what i love to make profit if i where good enough.

I have however read many many articles from even pro players and they all state that breaking even has to include constructed play with the top tier decks, which i cant afford just yet when most have 4 jaces in em atm.

So thx for a great series and thx for continuing in its true nature.

This weeks article was kind of more like week 18.5 since you decided to essentially restart over for this weeks article. Glad to see your at least showing other methods are possible. Still think you should do a draft rag to riches series after this one and teach people to be better drafters.

Great! That’s excellent. Of course you set the rules for Rags to Riches but I think this is really what we all want: For you to reach your nigh impossible goal with just trades.

Good luck continuing the journey, I’ll be sure to tune in whenever it’s updated
