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 […]

This is the first article from my new series, MTG Questions. You might be familiar with the Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em series (rebranded as MTG Metagame Finance), which takes a tournament-oriented perspective.

Mike examines the RtR spoiler to see which cards are likely to shake things up. Some powerful spells are slated to enter Standard soon, some of which may rival the pushed creatures of late.

As Return to Ravnica spoilers continue, a variety of questions arise. With this incredibly popular, highly anticipated set, what are the solid buys? Are there some cards that may gain in value thanks to RtR? Should you buy a booster box now or wait until release? Are there any cards worth preordering? Sigmund touches on all these topics in this week’s article.

Champions of Kamigawa drew upon Japanese mythology, with its shrines, kami and crazy dragon spirits. Though it doesn't pack in the ridiculous combo cards like Mirrodin did, it is full of legends, which means that there are a bunch of cards that get their value from Commander. This week, we will look at the first half of the set and how you can get the most money from Champs. Let's look!
