In reply to banzaitron. I play the beta for a long time now, and eventually, you get used to it. It' better to change now and get used to it than to wait untill we have no other choice. Still, the client is crap, but still better than previous clients.

In reply to Xing Guan. Thanks Xing! I'm glad you can benefit from my articles and posts. You can also follow me on Twitter (@lepongemagique), although I always post my targets here on QS first.

Your posts and the forum are the two reasons I still subscribe to Quiet Speculation. Great work. Great Detail. Really appreciate the work done, and hopefully my e-wallet appreciates it too.

In reply to Wing Kong. Paper is really different because prices persist really longer. On MTGO cards opened are readily available and sold, making prices low. Prices can spike fast and collapse fast as well. It takes really longer for prices to go down in paper MTG, even when cards are overrated, on MTGO that's rather quick, after about two weeks.

In reply to Matthew Lewis. Thanks for the comments Matt! Spikes from the PT are already back to normal, or close to. If they don't predict anything for the future standard, these are the card to keep an eye on. Kiora is a good example, no play or so little in standard right now but seems in all blue deck in block.

Just a wonder, but does this trend happen in paper as well?

In reply to qed2.

From a trading perspective, firing up and running V3 isn’t so bad…

Sadly, V3 is going dark in favor of Shiny in July… and trading is HORRIBLE in the new client. I am strongly considering just paring ALL of my positions down to just boosters and mythics. The trading on the beta makes my head want to explode.

The main thing keeping me from MTGO speccing is the prospect of having to install and fire up MTGO. Uuuugh. We can only dream that one day it moves to browser-based…

Looks like it was a great learning experience! And your observation around the relevance of the PT format to price peaks seems astute. We’ve also seen prices on THS block staples rise after PT JOU this past weekend, despite being in the middle of release events. I don’t think price spike from the PT will make or break specs, but they definitely provide some broad guidance for when to sell.
