Incendiary flow, stasis snare, void shatter, blessed alliance, reflector mage, stormchaser mage and probably a few others I cant think of. Interestingly these have performed better than a lot of penny stock rares I bought. Going forward I have picked up some censors, I’ll be eyeing some stuff from AER for post rotation. I like winding constrictor, renegade rallier, and gifted aetherborn. I like hungry flames as a card, don’t know if it will make a good spec, but I ran 3-4 in a mono red burn deck I was playing.

There’s also CardBot that is included in the cardhoarder/mtgotraders price algorithm and DojoTrade,that seems to only buy 4 copies but has its own price algorithm.

And there’s those bots that use the CardNexus software,but its hard to find information on them – even if some of them have 10 different ads on the classifieds,and in the ones i looked,sell price copies mtgotraders price and buy price is horrible,with several 30/50% spreads

That would make for an interesting article in its own right. Every legit bot seems to only sell 4 at a time. Some smaller bot chains (The Card Nexus & Drakebots in particular) even limit you to 4 cards per day. I try to support the little guy, but some of the little guys impose those 4 per day buy restrictions and that’s a deal breaker for me.

Personally, for cards, I use cardhoarder/mtgotraders about 70% of the time, Goatbots 20% of the time, and a random assortment of other bots 10% of the time. For boosters and treasure chests I use BoosterCity 100% of the time. For foils I use foilvalue 95% of the time. I would like to have a solid go-to for a 3rd bot for cards, but haven’t found one I’ve liked yet. I’ll do some investigating.

In general you have to buy about 4-8 per bot chain and then wait a while unless you want to pay a jacked up price. I’m just as frustrated as you are about that. The end result is that you typically have to make investments over the course of several days if you want the best possible rates of return. This is especially true for uncommons – you can’t really buy 50-100 copies of something all at once. This is one of the reasons why in my article I used “investment low” prices that you could get over the span of several weeks.

The only sly trick I know of that you could employ is getting an additional account. If you have two accounts and two computers available (say a laptop and a desktop), then you can buy things at double the rate to speed things up and get around the buy limits of some of the smaller bot chains. I haven’t done this though.

I’m moderately optimistic about Harnessed Lightning. The worry with Servant is that Wizards could easily print another card that is roughly at its power level. Channeler Initiate is already right there. I guess the saving grace about Servant is that it is going to be a 4x in one or two Tier 1 strategies until it rotates.

Glad you have been having similar success. Which uncommons have you chosen to invest in over the past 6-12 months?
