Hi guys Pdmd28 back again on Between the Lanes, this time with my personal “Dusting” or Soul Traping Guide. In this article I will give you all my opinions, as a free-to-play player that tried to make the most out of his cards and soul gems, on cards that are safe to soul trap.

This article is just to help you know cards that are okay to dust; I don’t advise aggressively soul trapping all your cards to make one or two legendaries.

I will classify cards in two different types:

Cards that are unplayable in top-tier or mid-tier decks witch means that they are not good enough to even consider playing, Cards that are okay to use as replacement for cards in top-tier decks or even good enough to be played in mid-tier decks. These cards are cards that can be seen in budget decks or as replacement for cards that you are missing for middle or top tier decks.

That’s all from me! Hopefully I helped you in understanding which cards you can dust. Once again, I don’t advise you to hard dust cards for the sake of making one deck; take it slow and do some arenas, but if you are in need of a bit of dust for that sweet Emeric or Ayrenn you can use this as a guide to help you get those last gems.
