Thanks Roman, glad you continued as an insider, and glad we were able to add value! The insider-only forums are a great way to find timely tips like these.

I don’t have a good sense for foils, but I think that a regular lotus will be substantially higher in six months than it is now. It will probably go down again in August before it goes up, but in the medium to long term it seems to me like a safe play.

Part of the future value for P9 and other Vintage and Legacy staples will depend on whether MTGO will continue to support the format. Right now, Vintage and Legacy constructed are some of the highest EV events out there, which drives players to collect the necessary pieces. What will happen after VMA ends? Will MTGO continue to support good payouts for these formats? That’s the risk factor here. That said, I expect an iconic card like Lotus to hold its value into the future.

Glad it worked for you, Jordan! All credit goes to Matt Lewis and the QS forums.

I have also one question. I have a foil black lotus and I am not sure whether hold it or sell it (probably for about 380-400 now) and use the money to go for other vintage masters staples, most likely these? (Beside that I think Mana Vault could be a good target)

Where do you see the normal / foil Black Lotus in a half year (I know it’s a difficult question when the cards have no precedent at mtgo) ?

Thanks a lot, I will keep an eye on your articles!

Nice work Shoey!

I made a great zombi this weekend. Pretty much dropped in at 3-0 of a competitive sealed because of baby issues :/ I bet my opp who didn’t answer my split proposition was pretty happy.

I also open/drop from another event, just to get the product.

That’s good to hear, I was worried about a zombie invasion. I was out of pocket this past week so will be using my phantom tickets for future cube events.

There are certainly a lot of issues, and I sure don’t want to sound like an apologist for the new client.

That said, compared to the previous transition–where things literally shut down for a week and card prices tanked–this has not been the seismic event some predicated. The market seems to be responding positively now that the worst-case scenario did not materialize.

zombie accounts, only a few on the forums here, but I never had a zombie player in my prereleases I played. (and I played quiet some rounds already). So I don’t think we’ll see those that much.

Honestly, I’m pretty shocked at how bad things are. There are horrible design decisions (have you SEEN the foils?!), unintuitive UI (did anyone else have some trouble finding the m15 events?), and obvious bugs EVERYWHERE. I am very concerned for the future of the client it appears it’s already a spaghetti code mess.

For example, I used a bunch of new accounts to play sealed events. I’m trying to transfer the cards to a central location in order to sell them. When I “select all” in my collection to add them to my active binder, multiple seemingly random sections simply aren’t selected. This forces me to trade 3-4 times just to finally get everything to transfer. Can you imagine trying to code a bot to work with this??!

Cardbot has been selling them for 2.3-2.6 since last night. Goatbot had been buying between 2.4-2.6. I am up to 128 M15 packs.

I also have been buying Journey into nix for 1.4-1.5, and Born of the gods for 2.33 or less.

I have 272 BTG, 132 Jou, 405 and 128 M15.

Currently you can buy them via offer on the Classifieds for 2.5 Tix/booster, just insane.

As of now I bought around 40 packs in 1h.
