Quiet Speculation – A Magic Online Portfolio
Posted on December 11, 2010 by Kelly Reid
What do you think of buying the cheaper mythic cards when they are particularly cheap? It seems that all mythic cards eventually hit the 1 dollar mark at some point due to collectors and redeemers so whenever they are at, say .40 or .50, it seems worth it to buy a few. I did this with Liege of the tangle and platinum emperion and it worked out quite well.
Also I notice that, unsurprisingly, most cards in precons have a really hard time climbing. Both Carnifex Demon and the hoarder dragon are in tons of SOM constructed decks but are at .08 at most bots. This makes me suspect that Sunblast angel will not go up as much as it should.
I think he means standard constructed playables. Sunblast Angel basically trumps both those in any givin match by a large margin. In block, Its a toss-up but UW is being played A LOT so SB-Angel. I also think they made a mockery on SB and BS Angel. Dam them.
You never mentioned how much you paid for each individual card on your list. If those Gigantomancer ever go up to at least 0.25 you’ll be making a ton of tickets off them.
I did some speculating this past week on Ezuri, Renegade Leader and Necrotic Ooze. I was hoping for some Worlds action from both, and it looks like I got my wish. Haven’t seen a huge jump in price on either yet, but I’m pretty hopeful.
Ezuri’s Brigade cost currently 0.12 $, it’s a great card in an artifact deck.
What do you think about this card ?
Also, that Ranger of Eos tip from a few weeks back is paying off quite nicely right now
thanks!
Agreed, it was a sweet deal (Ranger of Eos), I bought 18 at 0.8 and now am selling for 3.5 each.
I did well on Master Transmuter as well, based on reading your articles, Tezzeret keeps going up and I made a bunch on Master of Etherium (I don’t think you directly made this pick, but it was from reading your stuff that I decided to pick some up).
The only thing I missed out on was the massive jump of Fulminator mage lately. Went from selling at 3 a day and a half ago to selling at 7 today. I had a feeling about that card. Speaks to us all, that we should trust ourselves more often.
You do us all a service. Thanks.
I really like your articles and tips, although I don’t usually get to take full advantage of them, as I am usually not able to log into MTGO until the evening after work and by then, many others have already beaten me to the deals.
I did make a nice little return on Steel Overseers right before SOM was released. Two days before the prereleases started, I bought up an extra 30 of them beyond my playset at 1, and by Tuesday the following week, I’d sold all of them at 1.25. Little profit on a small lot, but sometimes you just have to grind it out for that incremental revenue.
How do you export the data to .csv file? I think it’s a great idea but I’m not sure how. Sorry if this has already been discussed.
