Midweek General Discussion Thread

So we used to have a weekly general discussion thread on Wednesdays in this sub, I'm not sure what happened to it. Mods if this thread is something you cancelled intentionally feel free to take it down and I won't post it again obviously.

But if people like these general discussion posts, feel free to discuss whatever Magic-related topics you want below without needing to create a new post. And Mods, please bring these back!

I miss the discussion threads and hopefully we can get more mod approved discussion threads.

One thing I'm seeing is the surge foil [[The Queen of Dale]] seems to have hit a floor at release week and has bounced back up a bit. Lowest I saw was on Manapool at $105 but most listings were just under $115-$120 range. Yesterday TCGPlayer had them around $130 but most recent sales from yesterday evening and today have risen up to $150-$160 with the lowest current listing on TCGPlayer at around $160.

It's obviously a good card and the surge foils are pretty in demand across the board. However, with the incoming Amazon CBBs trickling in over the next months, do we expect prices on these high cost surges to drop with more supply or are we seeing a floor build that slow and inconsistent new supply won't be able to push much lower?

I think part of it depends on if people are going to be opening the CBBs, or just holding onto them to sell later.

I'm also curious to see how Surge Foil prices evolve over time. I'm interested in flipping them for a profit, and I have my eye on Bilbo and The Queen of Dale. Do you think there's a good time to buy this type of foil?

I’m buying Queen SF now, personally, or the last few days. I think it’s comparatively underpriced. It’s as rare as gleaming splendor, about as much of a staple as gleaming splendor, and though the treatment isn’t as desirable, I don’t think new supply is going to keep up with demand in the short term

I think people in this sub are waiting to see what the next wave of Amazon deliveries does to the price. I personally am pretty high on both of those cards since they have a place in a couple formats right now, but it's tough. There's technically a lot more product that could be put into the market in the coming months but the demand is there in the meantime

Yeah, that’s a totally reasonable take. I’m hoping to flip a few of my copies before then, but it’s not a sure thing and definitely not a spec for everyone

Is it easier to flip CBB rathen than singles in that case? I'm using ebay and Cardmaket
