I just spent less than the price of a booster on playsets of 7 or 8 of the rares mentioned in this article. If they don’t go up, neh.

Hoarding Dragon is currently rockbottom price on MTGO, so I grabbed a set of those too. Even if it isn’t GOOD, the influx of targets for it should make the demand for it rise, in my eyes.

I am pretty pleased with how the MTGO singles market is looking right now, really a buyers market for once. BSA is ~15 bucks, Grave titan is ~9 bucks…

I bought a Pyromancer Ascension ‘deck’ (i.e. 4x Pyromancer Ascension, 4x Time Warp, 4x Scalding Tarn) right before M11 hit online because I thought it could be a contender with Call to Mind coming out.
The prices:
4x Time Warp @ 8.5 tix each : 34 tix
4x Pyromancer Ascension (from this very site) @ ~.35 each = ~1.5 tix
4x Scalding Tarn @ 5.5 = 22 tix

Yesterday, I sold
4x Time Warp @ 22 tix each : 88 tix!
4x Pyromancer Ascension traded for ~9 tix worth of (pauper) cards I needed
The Scalding Tarns I’m still holding onto, but I am already on a HUGE upswing from my investment because of just the Time Warps.

They might go up more but I didn’t want to be greedy. M10 is going to rotate come October and when people realize that I think Time Warp will plummet. Plus I was already super happy :)

So just a shoutout to thank you guys, both posters and commenters, for convincing me to take a dive in the world of MTGO trading :D
