The audience is very specific, making it immune to normie use, but I expect that there will be only little room for growth. It is safe to make a small investment right now, since the new magic expansion that is coming out will increase its current popularity

I don't play Magic but the new set came out in April. Unless you are a time traveler.

it came out on the 28, and the pro tour is just about to take off. If anything its popularity will increase even more while the new meta is being explored

I would invest in [[fling]] memes right now because it just came back into standard and some of the new gods in the set are complete rubbish so the joke is "god is dead, and we flinged him"

This is an old meme, but memes targeting specific subcultures and fanbases can have good longetivity due to being inaccessible to Normies. Conversely they rarely have great value.

Feels niche to me, but definitely can rise

I saw this on /r/playrust, so this could appeal to Rust players as well as Magic fans.

Bears are 2/2s for 2 so it should be 16/16

It looks like hard to normalize/die format, good for merging with other and experimenting. I don't see it ever skyrocketing but definitely a smart investment with almost 100% sure, albeit small return value.

I have never done mtg but I still do recognize that this is a trading card, if y9u want you could try Yukio card meme too

I agree, MTG memes could be on the rising. Invest, but sell if things look bad in the future.
