In reply to Mathieu Malecot. Seems like a solid method.

In reply to JasonAlt. you want to buy shocks that are less than 1/2 the cost of the associated fetch. steam vents, overgrown tomb and the reprint breeding whatever u/b are all excellent choices. i'd buy marsh flats over its companion shockland

I think Aurelia\’s Fury is the most overrated preorder card since Time Reversal, and all I hear out of its proponents is \”nuh uh, it\’s the best card they\’ve ever printed!\”

I am bearish on Fury as well

In reply to Corbin Hosler. I'm with you on the RTR shocks. I think in about 2 months there's an artificial peak.

Good points, and I didn’t realize that about High Priest, that does limit his ceiling.

The thing with Shocks is we’re basing it off of Zendikar fetch trajectory. If the game continues to grow at its current pace, they’re a great investment. if it doesn’t, they’ll be more mediocre but still fine. But it’s an unlikely set or circumstances that makes it a bad investment at this point.

I think it’s brave you also tried to call regular rares instead of only the mythics, which are a lot easier to predict. Keep up the good work !

I’d be careful about drawing too many paralles from price trends in RTR and GTC. Reason I think they’re significantly different:

1) RTR was a 6pack PTQ Sealed format

2) There’s a season that will have RTR undrafted while we draft triple gatecrash. We’ll see some upswing as a result of RTR prior to drafting the block as a whole. GTC won’t off the draft tables until Coreset.
