Thanks for reading!

Varolz seems like it will be a card that will be played, and 3rd set rares often carry some of the highest price tags once they stop being drafted. I’d be patient though and wait till the middle of July before I started buying. If you follow this strategy though, you have to be ready to accept that you might miss the big price spike if Varolz breaks out.

The other thing you could do is to start buying the card now, but allocate some tix to continue to buy over the summer, ie spreading out your purchases. This often reduces the negative feelings that come from missing out on a card you liked. Having a system for accumulating cards removes the decision making process.

Great Article, just picked up a few of the good value cards. Just wondering what your thoughts about Varolz is since I see a few people trying to make it work in a few different formats

Not sure about Aetherling and Sire of Insanity. They don’t strike me as 4-ofs, which would limit their upside. I see that sire is down to around 1 tix on Nova. At that price, I feel their is some value. Aetherling at over 3 tix doesn’t have much value.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for commenting! Your comments have always helped me to develop my ideas more fully.

Thanks for the advice; with the tix i made from the GTC-boosters I’m finally getting the idea my subscription here is no lost money !

That’s true, maybe an article down the line? I’m personally going to be buying alot of the rares later on as I can afford to widen my margin of error.

Nice! I didn’t realize Beck/Call was so low. Breaking/Entering also looks good at 0.05 or less.

Thanks for reading!

To me it’s almost playable in constructed format and definitely playable in casual format: double strike + pump super easily with any downside.

With a 500% profit potential in 2 years at max, give me 10 lbs of it!

I also like a lot Beck/Call, especially 1 step away from total junk.

At 0.05 I’ll also grab some Breaking/Entering.

The trends are so bad for online rares from sets that are being drafted that I haven’t even started evaluating what rares are worth going deep on. Right now, the list of rares I’m interested in is very short, and it starts and ends with Advent of the Wurm. I’ll be buying this in July.

I like Catch/Release at 0.05 or less too.

My previous mythic rundowns I roughly grouped them by type of card. This time, I was a bit stymied as to a good grouping, so I just did them alphabetically. You make a good point!

Maybe not all of them but at least the noteworthy ones. Especially with this being a small set, rares can spike rather drastically.

List all the “Fully Priced”, then all the “Good Buys,” and so on.
