So is 3.5 tix for a pack of lorwyn too much? That's about the lowest I'm finding it but it's just hard to find period.

Great article btw!

@ TempleGuard: Thanks for the kudos! I actually plan on writing an entire article on the set redemption subject. Not my next article, but probably the one after that, so stay tuned! As far as picking the cards themselves up now to try and price them up right before the end of redemption; I don't see a whole lot of users scrambling to complete sets last minute. Cards that will be hot in extended on the other hand, would probably be the best route to go. I have some assumptions on this but will hold off commenting until I finish my research for you all!

@Lunco: Concerning ALA block, I would probably hold off on that particular set. It's set to rotate out of the store, however the market seems to be a little flooded with packs right now. ALA was pushed pretty hard as an alternate draft format in the last few months, and as such there are plenty of packs roaming around at this time. Also note that since it has been in the draft room fairly recently, some users will have gotten what they wanted play-wise out of the set already. Thanks for the question and feedback!

So do you think we should move in on Alara? How many pack do you recommend getting?

On another note: does anyone know where I could buy some cheap tix online?

Great Article! Quick question (or maybe 2), though:

In your experience/estimation, is it worth the time and money to actually collect the cards from sets that are about be cut-off from redemption? I would think that most people who are interested in redeeming those sets have already done so. Do you think it would be better to just scoop up the cards we expect to play a part in extended and pass on the rest?

Either way, I liked reading this one, and your first part as well. Keep it up!
