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.

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 […]
