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 […]

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 […]

Hello, everybody and welcome to a new week of the Daily Stock Watch! Standard cards are starting to move in the wake of new brews with cards from Guild of Ravnica, and we're all but ready to see which deck will be the new Black Red Midrange (arguably the best deck from last season) of […]

Several niche Modern staples have seen massive price spikes following the Eldrazi takeover. Sheridan evaluates two of them to see if they will hold value or crash.

Although I didn't open an Expedition, my pre-release went about as well as it could've. I opened a challenging but incredibly strong sealed pool, featuring Undergrowth Champion, Beastcaller Savant, Brutal Expulsion (as my foil promo), Guardian of Tazeem, Ruinous Path and a suite of incredible commons and uncommons. The pool was a difficult build because […]

Commons and Uncommons are an unlikely source of revenue, but they can really help to pad your collection and your margins.  People always need them and seem to have a mental block about getting and keeping them.  They take almost no effort to acquire, and often people will just give them away. I like to […]

Being the first Flip Planeswalker spoiled, I may myself have been spoiled by Liliana, Defiant Necromancer. I was immediately struck by the elegance of the card's design, and the wonderful synergies she represents. In stark contrast to Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, whom I've criticized as clunky and uninspiring, Liliana, Heretical Healer is a card worth building […]
