I also don't get the comparison between Torchling, Thornling, Morphling, and Masticore. Molten-Tail Masticore is part of the Masticore line of critters. The -ling cycle comes from Morphling, which is an unreleated dork.

Good point about it not having made an impact at worlds, though.

Ooze would have been a great buy at $1-$2 had the deck actually been amazing.

Since the deck isn't really all that great as-is, it is unlikely people are going to want to build it.

Briefly, yeah. I'm just saying that there's no real point in trying to speculate on stuff like that. I mean, let's say you bought a TON of these at the lowest possible price point aside from bulk rare. What would you be getting them at, $.25? $.50? Unless you're trading them off in-person at high prices, you're gonna be selling them at $1 each, max. If you bought a thousand at $.25 and sold a thousand at $1, you'd make a lot of money, but no one can do that. The most one person's likely to be able to acquire and then sell is 50-100 or so, and that's not really a worthwhile number.

I bought around 125 Pyromancer Ascensions at $1 each. Then they dropped to .50 and lower, and I could have bought a LOT more then. Instead I held most of mine, and I'm currently selling them at $1.50. They're moving slowly. Rares really just aren't worth the effort of speculating on.

In reply to Ben. At the height of the buying spree that day, more than one site had them listed at $5 to attempt to capitalize on the price spike. Since then the price has settled between 2 and 3 for most vendors.

Starcity has Necrotic Ooze at $2, with plenty in stock, and they're ebaying at $4/playset. I'm not sure who has them at $5, but it's not a 5-dollar card by any means.
