David S. takes us through the first of two sets of blue cards to pick from bulk, this time focusing on the hidden value of Commander demand!

Paul reflects on his favorite things from the original Kamigawa block. What made original Kamigawa great, and how could those things show up in Neon Dynasty?

On the eve of Eternal Masters’ release, Alexander enlists the help of two expert drafters to break the set down and get a bead on the winning strategies.

All you need to know about how Commander influences foil prices is to look at Expedition Map. The low common goes for over $10 to the right player because when you become a Commander, you want foils all around you. All of those spells should be holographic! While we knew Map would be a good staple in Commander, I don’t think people called that it would be this much for a common, this early. Today, I’m going to share my forecasts for the next hot Commander cards – ones I think will double or triple in price in a year or two. Let’s start!

We finish up a tour of the plane of Kamigawa this week with Saviors. The set’s mechanics focused on “wisdom,” as measured by the amount of cards in your hand versus another player’s hand. In theory, this sounds pretty cool; however, in practice, it meant that a player had to keep in mind both hand sizes at all times. The mechanic was unfortunate in that it rewarded players for holding onto their creatures and spells instead of playing them out. What could have been an interesting source of in-game tension wasn’t developed well enough to make it worthwhile to play with the wisdom cards. Although it was a small, poorly-received third set, Saviors has a good selection of money cards for traders to profit from.

For a third set, Judgment is packed with winners. Let’s take a look at the valuable cards!
