Yes, completely, thanks!

I always like how you compare past with present to draw conclusions on the future. Much more helpful than “x doesn’t seem like a $2 card IMHO I bought up 50 and u should too”.

Ta again and keep up the good work.

To the best of my memory, yes, they were the first ZZW queues since ZEN block rotated out of Standard.

Ok, that link doesn’t work properly. Just look up my Aug 17th article manually if you are curious.

Great question! Admittedly it’s not obvious from the table here and that’s my mistake. But if you go back to my Aug 17th 2012 article, there’s a longer list that has the ratio for ZEN, WWK and ROE. Find it here,

Those numbers are what guide me for how sets that have rotated out of Standard but are still available for redemption might move in price. Back then, ZEN was at 0.54, WWK at 0.74 and ROE was at 0.77. Comparing where SOM and MBS were in November suggests that they. had room to rise in price. At their current ratio levels, there’s probably not much upside left.

Hopefully this clarified where I was coming from. All ratio values need to be compared to sets that are similar. In other words, comparing where the ZEN block sets were last summer suggested to me where the Scars block sets might be going. When thinking about the ratio values and the signal implied, this is what I had in mind.

Is that a bit clearer?

So… The “signal” you mentioned was that 0.45 (SOM) and 0.39 (MBS) were low? I don’t get it… Lower than what? RTR was 0.39 as well, why wasn’t that good value?? Obviously you were right, but I don’t quite follow what you mean by “signal”.

Thanks for reading!

Pyromancer Ascension based decks are not necessarily building storm count in the same way as Past in Flames. Here’s an example.
