In reply to Hank. Not sure what happened with Griselbrand, I might have cut something off when I moved from excel to html for the article. The prices are pulled from Mtgo Library + Supernova.... they aren't the average but the price at the moment I draft the article!

Sorry I’m so late, I missed the article, since it showed on the free side. This is GREAT stuff, awesome writing! Keep it up man, this brings a lot to the QS MTGO community 🙂

Liked it. Would have paid. Gotta ask though are you sure your information is accurate. I mean you have griselbrand at .009. One more question, Are the bot sell prices listed the average over this period of time? http://mtgowikiprice.com/ has current averages and they seem off. Thanks for the great article. I look forward to reading more.

Doesn’t Stony Silence (the 11th most played card in Modern according to goldfish) look like a very solid speculation target?

Awesome article. Reading second time now.

I would have paid for this!

In reply to Klaa Tadema. Good point. I clarified this in my article on the forums, but if you haven't/aren't able to read that this data is taken from the decks wizards makes available. It also represents the number of copies of that card within the given timeframe (lifetime being about 4 months at this point).

I’m not clear on what the various Quantity columns mean. Are those the # of times that those cards are used in decks in modern, based on the decklists that Wizards allows us to see?

Awesome review. I love all the combined data. It proves that lil ol Liliana is the real deal.

In reply to David Schumann. I have seen cards spike on mtgo within hours, at all times of day. It seems that these fluctuations are frequently followed by changes to paper versions. All these data mines can be used to compare to paper.

As someone who only delves in the paper realm, I still find this data very interesting as a lot of MTGO deck ideas make it into the paper world as well. So while prices may very drastically (I wish I could get Deathrites in real life at $5) the amount of play the cards see should somewhat mirror the cardboard world.

In reply to Danny Brown.

Same here. Great perspective – I’m more of a numbers person than someone else that has a “feeling” a card will go up in price/value (although intuition is not to be ignored).

Sweet article. I like the statistical approach and am interested in reading more!
