One of our members was contemplating stepping away from the game for a while and wanted to know the best place to park his money and/or what to trade into.

Edward Eng — Tue, 25 Dec 2018 17:44:01 +0000

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 […]

MTG Metagame Finance #23 (Free Giveaway #2!)

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 […]

Mtg Arena Has Been Framed! Who Is the Real MTGO Killer?

Kyle Rusciano — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 10:00:44 +0000

Magic Online has a problem. A card value problem. In a recent Channel Fireball article, Florian Koch showed just how much card prices have fallen over the past few years: That's right. To own a playset of the cheapest version of every Magic card ever printed on MTGO would have cost you roughly $28,000 in […]

Preparing for the December 6th Announcement

Kyle Rusciano — Thu, 06 Dec 2018 22:37:50 +0000

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 […]

Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em #20

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

Many people have been saying there’s been a little less movement regarding Magic finance during the past few weeks or months. Some people are saying there’s a slowdown.

Plundering Planeshift

Douglas Linn — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 05:42:12 +0000

Planeshift is, as middle sets go, on the lower end of the power curve. While there are some valuable cards that have held the test of time, it also contained some clunkers that have been obsoleted. It was the set that introduced the Lairs, like Dromar's Cavern, our first real tri-lands. The Shards of Alara […]
