Here is how I plan to use the result of the PT:

– For the cards that are heavily played, made top8 and several camera appearances. They are likely to spike since they will be under the PT influence, I’ll probably sell them within a week after the PT. They might keep going up, but I want to make sure I make the most of the spike.

For ex: Garruk, Caller of Beast spiked and rise for about a week after PT Theros, then stabilized and even dipped later on.

– For cards that are played but stayed under the radar. I’ll watch them and may or may not sell them right away.

For ex: Pack Rate and Desecration Demon spiked after PT Theros but kept rising after. Although selling after their “PT spike” would have been good anyway.

– For cards that would see no play at all. If they have risen before the PT, I would sell them for sure. If they had stayed flat before I’ll keep them waiting for a metagame shift.

Ex: Archangel of Thune and Kalonian Hydra rose before PT Theros and then see no play, they dipped shortly after the PT. Domri race and other M14 rares were not played and stayed flat during and after the PT, but rose nicely after.

I would apply the same thing for my THS and M15 spec, for mythics and rares and for Temples and others.

Cards that would disappoint and drop after the PT may constitute a good opportunity to rebut later on, that was the case for Archangel of Thune for instance.

The temples should also be sold during the PT would be better if they go up or save for later?
Thanks

Hi Timmy,

Thanks!

By the PT Khans of Tarkir, so about 1.5 week after the release of KtK online, I expect to sell many of my THS block and M15 (rares and mythics) specs.

Some buying opportunities with THS block and M15 have passed (Courser of Kruphix, and Nissa for instance) but for others it’s still time to get in.

In THS, in my opinion all the temples are still worth buying. I’m still buying them all (except Temple of Malady right now that is quiet high) currently. I think Soldier of the Pantheon will be a great spec, even buying now at 0.7-0.9 Tix. Mana confluence is still a very likely winner, even with its current price you are likely to make some tix out of it.

The Standard spec from that have not risen too much since this article are still valid : http://www.quietspeculation.com/2014/07/insider-w…

In M15, for the mythics, apart from Nissa everything else is still quite cheap (even cheaper in average from what I paid 1-2 weeks ago). You can still buy a basket of mythics if you don’t have any yet. I would recommend to buy all of them in an equal amount of tix so you even your chances of success.

In about 2 weeks I plan on buying M15 rares, based on the strategy discussed here : http://www.quietspeculation.com/2014/08/insider-i…

According to the result of the PT KtK I will sell everything that have had moved up.

I would keep ~20% of my bankroll in free Tix fro Quick Flips during the PT.

Great article, I know I’ll be looking to pick up some Sphinx’s Rev this september..

Question: I’m sitting on a big stack of tix, looking to buy back into Modern during the Khans release (hoping for fetches, staples etc to drop). Is there anywhere you think I should put my money to get the best return by Khans release? Or should I just hold onto the tix?

Lets say right now my portfolio is 30% VMA duals/staples, 10% Standard specs, 10% modern, 50% liquid tix
