Just would like some guidance on a potential trade.

I'm looking at picking up a Volcanic Island that's (I'd say) in MP condition. I figure its value would land around 210 in its condition.

In order to get it, I've offered up some other duals, namely a Plateau (LP), Badlands (MP), Scrubland (LP+), and Taiga (LP+) that would be packaged in order to meet the value on the Island.

My questions are:

What value does an MP Volcanic Island carry?

Which of the other duals should I be offering up?

Is this a worthwhile trade up?

I kind of have the values in mind that I would place on my duals and what I would be offering and I feel that regardless of what I offer (whether 3 for 1 or 4 for 1 + value stuff) I'm not shooting myself in the foot because

A) its a trade up

B) its a blue dual

C) I feel like whatever I give up, I could replace in the future as I go.

Polite thoughts and advice appreciated!

Thanks.

volcanic is 180 going rate and 230s retail for a mp
The duals you listed can all be had for around 45$ cash or 60s retail. The trade is a fair trade but your just not diversified. If U/R becomes less desirable to play, volcanic may drop. Volcanic used to be around the same price as tropical island until demand spiked due to legacy decks and it quickly caught up with sea.

all that said, I would easily still take the volcanic!

As a personal preference I would never do 4 for 1 non blue duals for a blue dual. I do agree that the value on both ends are close but I feel the future value potential is greater with having more duals even with all 4 of the non blue duals being in the $45-60 range and Volcanic being near $200. This really depends on how badly you need the blue dual I guess.
