Wandering Trader Trades

The wandering trader is notorious for bad trades, and I had an idea to improve them, if ever so slightly. 

I love the feeling I get when I find a Trader and am genuinely excited to trade with it for moss or dripleaf, as they are not available naturally generating in the current version. What if the blocks that will become creative exclusives in the next update were instead Wandering Trader trades. The specific blocks I have in mind are the deepslate emerald ore and deepslate copper ore. It may also encourage trading and not killing if the Wandering Trader sold leads cheaply. 

I though this might be a cool idea to think about.

  I think it could also be handy if Wandering Trader Trades were for more than just Emeralds, randomly a trade or two would be an item for emeralds, like 16 lapis for 1 emerald, or 10 phantom flesh for 1 emerald, an enchanted book (say level 1) for 2 Emeralds, items that encourage a "collecting quest" and not otherwise tradable villagers. Another idea would be something like 10 pufferfish for 1 potion of water breathing, or 32 oak saplings for 1 dark oak sapling. Trades like this would feel natural to the idea of a merchant or traveling trader who would also want exotic goods to take back to villages, and gives a player that hasn't found a village or gotten lucky in the mountains a chance to get emeralds or trade for items without needing emeralds.

  I had already said this on another comment, but just kill the llamas.
