Just a warning for those reading. There’s really no room to move at the last second as soon as the ban/unban news comes down. If you try unloading all your batterskulls, swords, and mystics in the 5 minutes after the ban list is announced and mystic isn’t unbanned, you’ll find that every buying bot is busy, and when you get through, they are no longer buying or buying for much less than they were 5 minutes before. You’ll find yourself desperate and scrambling and very likely holding a lot of less valuable equipment in your hand.

Make your move before the announcement for the most sure profits, not the best.

I agree with that. I’m very likely to be selling my Mystics and Swords before the announcement and cash out for sure rather than betting on an unban.

I guess what I was trying to emphasize here, was, it doesn’t matter if they are banned or unbanned with MTGO. Investing even as late as now in Bloom / Stoneforge / Batterskull – seem likely to make tix.

If they remain banned, you sell on the day of the announcement. If anything remains or is unbanned, you just hold another week and sell into the inevitable spike.

I think regardless of whether Stoneforge is unbanned or not, it’ll be a great sell the day of the official announcement (assuming it stays banned), same applies to Batterskull – will have to act fast and be ready to sell though! That’s the great thing about MTGO, your outs can be instant, you can lineup the bots beforehand and have them in your tradable binder.

Same applies to Bloom staples. If it remains unbanned, I feel there is definitely some value in the current pricing of much of that deck.

I also feel like we’re moving into territory whereby we will see all-new highs for Modern staples, such as Grove of the Burnwillows and Mox Opal. So I disagree on selling those. Historic highs won’t be as relevant as selling trigger points. I foresee both of these going above 50 over the next few months. We’ll see.
