Im also wondering, because If I could have found cards @ these prices on friday I would have alot more net value today.

That's why I have stayed mum on it for the week. Trust me, I have my reasons for doing everything.So far Bitterblossom was my biggest gainer by $, but Windbrisk Heights by %.

Seems like the short-term rotating ones aren't good picks.

The cards that eluded me during Standard of the time just fell into my lap and are going to shoot up 200-300% in a few months.

I'm not messing with anything pre-rotation. All the LMSE stuff is pretty legit.

Everything with the word faerie printed on it is/was a safe buy.I would not invest in time spiral block cards sinds those will all rotate out in september. I don't expect extended ptq's before scars of mirrodin comes out and that is when the prices will spike.

I mean from a financial viewpoint… Would really like to hear what you have to say about it.

All I see is a list of prices with no commentary. Perhaps run a comparison script against the blackerlotus db? Or am I missing something (presumably to do with the extended changes)?

Its just around 1 Tix and with Hypergenesis banned, people may move to Living End. Heck possibly even Restore Balance at .25 tix. PS Dunno why my comment says VSRelms…

No more Goyfs, no painlands, no Damnation, etc.

Kithkin, Faeries, and the lands are all great buys. The sable stag of course will be good too for the anti faeries. I wouldnt have bothered with the 9th edition and future site stuff but I am sure it will go up. What happens to depths from here and ravnica duals???

I went on a minor spree too. I think a big part is seeing all of these old friends suddenly resurrected yet still available for so much less.
