It’s a great point! Thanks for reading and commenting.

I just wanted to add some points on the scarab god from the research I did a while back, on 5 drops in standard. Most 5 drops get 1 large spike and 1 small spike price wise and the big spike is done. While its always possible for things to break the mold, Im not sure this is the card that will do it. As you mentioned meta games shift, and generally as new sets come out 5 drops just hold up like a card at 2 CMC like Jace. So to other readers, definitely sell soon and make sure the price really comes down significantly before rebuying. And be comfortable with taking smaller % gains, as history suggests you typically only get 1 big spike. If anyone is looking for it, I posted the research in the MTGO forums.
