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 […]

Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em #20

Edward Eng — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 16:15:32 +0000

Insider: Assembling Alara Reborn

Douglas Linn — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:01:51 +0000

Alara Reborn was audacious, for the simple fact that the entire set is composed of gold cards. In retrospect, it was phenomenally risky - gold cards, like gold itself, have a cachet that comes from being numerically rare in a set. When sets have only four or five gold cards in the whole folio, opening […]

Insider: Compiling Champions of Kamigawa

Douglas Linn — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 05:06:09 +0000

Champions of Kamigawa drew upon Japanese mythology, with its shrines, kami and crazy dragon spirits. Though it doesn't pack in the ridiculous combo cards like Mirrodin did, it is full of legends, which means that there are a bunch of cards that get their value from Commander. This week, we will look at the first half of the set and how you can get the most money from Champs. Let's look!

Don’t Sell the Bulk

Guest Author — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 04:56:02 +0000

Don’t sell the bulk! Your bulk rares are an asset to utilize so that you can increase your profit margin. Trading is a form of art and the more creative you are, the more you can make the most out of your collection. I did not realize that trading was one of my fiercest magic […]
