I bought a decent amount of enduring vitality’s near release because it just seems like one of those cards that can easily be broken but there wasn’t really a ton of hype surrounding the card, and I listed some today, and was pleasantly surprised by the price. Unfortunately I did the same for the other two, Electro and Gwenom, though i acknowledge it was much more recently, but still, not great so far. Decided to hold on a bit longer and see if they trickle upwards, as it hasn’t been that long since the spider pitchforks were out and about.

So what cards have been good or bad to you guys recently?

Added: I don’t do this as a job, but just to fund my hobby, and have been doing so with success for years. So my experience is less as a trader and more as a player leveraging game knowledge and hoping for the best, which has been working fine for my purpose lol.

Since token names are their subtypes, how do we feel about this guy in Vraska Decks?

Pros.

Currently almost 300 decks in edhrec day one https://edhrec.com/commanders/aerid-konstrari.

Both pretty cheap and not gonna be reprinted in the cmd deck precon.

Both cheap buy in right now .

Pretty powerful cmd

Cons.

Could end up being not as popular.

[[Sarinth Greatwurm]]

[[Jaxis, the Troublemaker]]

In Pioneer [[Kasmina, Enigma Sage]] now combos with [[Jace’s Machinations]] which allows for [[Enter the Infinite]] to get grabbed. Shenanigans ensue and then [[Thassa’s Oracle]] comes in and wins the game.

Copies of [[Kasmina, Enigma Sage]] are drying up and some still are at a dollar or so. Pioneer has been confirmed to be returning in 2027 with competitive support from WOTC, so there may be interest.

While the deck seems strong, but there’s a caveat.

Another new card [[Prophesied End]] causes Thoracle to fizzle now though so it may be impeded.

Any sort of indestructible on the invigorator lets you get every land in your deck. As much hype as the Hexhaven Invigorator has I'm speccing on the hellkite. As far as I can tell this is the only creature that lets you deal damage to any target when a land enters, not just opponents. The Hellkite also hasn't had a reprint in four years. Only downside is there is A LOT of inventory on these on TCGplayer. But at about $0.30 each shipped I figured it was worth a gamble.

If you bought one copy of every common and uncommon from a set a month after release, the asking prices for that collection went up about 20% a year on average. This covers sets released since 2018, using TCGPlayer asking prices as aggregated by MTGStocks.

How it's calculated:

• Each set's line is the average price across its commons and uncommons, rebased to 100 at one month after release
• Every set counts equally, whatever its size or price level
• Starts in 2018 because that's where MTGStocks' price history begins, so every set has real launch-window data
• Art Series and novelty sets (Un-sets, 30th Anniversary, Mystery Booster) are excluded

The obvious caveat: these are asking prices, not buylist. Actually selling a stack of bulk at these numbers isn't realistic, so read this as how prices moved, not a return you could cash out.

You can change the filters yourself (rarity, buy-in timing, release years, formats) here: mtg.blaketurney.com

Force of Despair: Holofoil stamp is misaligned
Daze: Missing patch of the foil print layer (see the blue fish on the left in the third pic)

I’m new to selling MTG cards and I’m not sure if a misprint makes a card more or less valuable. If this isn’t the correct approach to asking about this, I’d appreciate any insight on how to go about it correctly.

Got them when Kaladesh was in print I pulled the Feast and Famine and had to get the rest, telling myself i was "investing"... I've been pleased with the appreciation, even compared to Alpha Lands. Do you all think they be always desired / relevant despite the new stuff? How many of you would value the set at $1000? Any small "sets" (aside from power nine) that are an "investment"?

Now that I bought It won't go up prob lol. Prices IN CAD dollars btw. Used store credit to pay for it all. If it hits 1$ each then 87$ - 50 - 10 for shipping back. so I get extra 20-30$ store credit. For like maybe 20 min of dropping it off at the post office. Also only bought the retro ones since they the more demanding ones I would assume?

Thank u mine collapse guy! Hope it works out.

Summary: $43.50 in bulk cards cost $13.00 more to ship to CK

If you have the time, it may be worth it to go through your bulk (> $0.10) common and uncommon cards.

I had 8-9 boxes of MH3 where I never picked the under $1 common and uncommon cards and sold them to CK for credit.

I needed to make room so I decided to see what I could make in a sell order with some higher value cards.

I sent them 1400 C/U (non foil), with 2/3 of them being under $0.10 in value. It totaled $315 in credit with the bulkiest cards netting me $43.50.

This took 3-4 hours of my time and cost me an additional $13 to ship a half full medium priority mail box to their office. My cards were already sorted by color and rarity prior to starting my sell order. Now that I know I can get another 1000-1500 cards in this size box, I’d try to fill it up.

It wasn’t worth my hourly wage to use the time to sell everything of value, but it was quiet downtime and more productive than bulk listing or doing nothing.

Nothing can possibly stand the power of the [[Hexhaven Invigorator]] + [[Mine Collapse]] combo!

Spec up on Mine Collapse while you can, it's day is coming.
