Congratulations on your good luck at the pre-release! You got those, and Richard got a foil Platinum Angel and a Chrome Mox! Not fair! I really missed out, it seems. I wish I could have gone, but oh well. I just completed my green and white deck, which needs some work still. I would like to play it against you sometime though. I was wondering: do you still want Clockwork Dragon? I would trade it for a bringer (although I totally understand if you want to keep them...). I got the Furnace Whelp, and the Suncrusher. Suncrusher can be an effective sunburst card. I hope to hear from you soon; preferrably by phone, and I hope to see you again soon.
For that matter, Decree of Justice (which I held on to for you instead of trading it yesterday like I could have) is also not a fair across-the-board trade; it's also rather valuable.
I am still interested in the Clockwork Dragon, but I'm not doing one of those trades for it. Both Bringers, along with their new friend Bosh, have already been woven into my five-color deck, which is now a rather efficient slapinator.
It's too bad Richard dropped- he missed a lot of fun. On the other hand, I do understand an aversion to simply cataloguing two cards with cumulative value of $60.00 and then giving them to someone else. You can believe I tracked down and profusely thanked Justin Ulrich for surrendering his pair of Bringers...

How tragic that greed eclipses beauty?
Damn, that card goes well with Fifth Dawn!!!
P.S. I tried to call you back, but as you properly warned, You were not available. Oh well.
