Power Overwhelming from the Modern Horizon https://www.quietspeculation.com/2019/06/power-overwhelming-from-modern-horizon/ https://www.quietspeculation.com/2019/06/power-overwhelming-from-modern-horizon/#comments Tue, 04 Jun 2019 16:00:54 +0000 http://quietspeculation.com/?p=20194

With Modern Horizons now fully spoiled, it's time to wrap up this series of spoiler articles. Last week, I said that the set was a bit underwhelming. At the time it looked like a Standard set with some added complexity. Immediately afterward, the most potentially powerful cards in the set were revealed, causing me to […]

Ultimate Masters has hit the market and there’s already been a lot of movement. The prices of the reprints dropped as they usually do when a set first hits the market. But it seems like the prices have started to rebound a lot quicker this time around. There’s a slight possibility they could drop again […]

For all the trash talk I gave to Mercadian Masques last week, it's still a pretty good set for traders to make a dime on. It has a few powerhouses for actual tournament play, but most of the value is driven by the casual market. It also has some really high-value foils. To my knowledge […]
