The holidays are in full swing and the new year is right around the corner. And as some of you may know, the stock market has been a bit shaky in the last month or so. But it seems Magic is still doing pretty well during this slightly volatile time. I think a good portion […]

Ultimate Masters is still in full bounce back mode, and the last World Magic Cup has come to a finish. Plus, some sweet Ravnica Allegiance spoilers have hit the market so there’s gonna be a nice mix of things to talk about again in this piece. Owing to the spoilers, this might be a little […]

This is the first article from my new series, MTG Questions. You might be familiar with the Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em series (rebranded as MTG Metagame Finance), which takes a tournament-oriented perspective. I decided to start this series to focus on more general aspects of MTG finance. The two series will work together, as when […]

Welcome back, folks. It's been a while since I last wrote an article, in large part because I've been unwilling to make any financial moves on MTGO before reading the December 6th announcement about competitive play on Arena. What is announced there could have major ramifications for investing on MTGO, and so I've been very […]

Time Spiral is a reward for being a veteran Magic player. It's the badge you earn when you get Achievement Unlocked: Play Magic For A Decade. Time Spiral, like a Lars Von Trier film, is one for the critics.

We're picking up this week where we left off last week, taking a financial gaze at Invasion. I consider Invasion to be the first really modern set, because it expresses good understanding of color combinations and power level. The number of gold cards in this set guarantees that a lot of casual cards end up […]

This week marks the second half of our exploration into the mammoth trove of valuable cards from Urza's Saga. No other block contains as many solid cards to be traded for, plucked out of collections or rummaged from bulk bins for profit. You can take a look at the previous half of this article here […]
