I bought the pyros after seeing the pyromancer ascension archive trap deck and saw how it functioned against the top decks; vs titans, valaramp, u/w control.

Even if this deck isn’t necessarily the best, people were always looking to try and make a good pyro deck anyway, this just opened the doors back up.

I don’t expect to make another 75 tix anytime soon, after release is the optimal time to buy.

here’s how I see it:
rares after release of a set go up quickly, buy the ones that seem useful
for example:
memoricide works against the biggest issue you have lately (getting rid of emrakul or other eldrazi)
the elves deck has been hyped lately, ezuri is obviously going to fit in
mimic vat has been hyped and is awesome in so many ways, they were selling for 1 last weekend, 7 now

But they will drop soon after due to the fact that they are just rares and drafters will flood the market over the next few weeks. Mythics that are good, should stay up longer, however, high priced mythics tend to drop because they tend to start at an overpriced cost.

Also, frost titan showed up so consistently in good decks that the price continues to climb.

Anyway, let me apologize, I have learned much of this from Plejades and other who write market articles, it is good to have a strong background and you can do a lot.

I’ve always heard of people paying premiums for cards but, never had any proof of it my self cause for some weird reason I’m always busy during these release events.

As SOM came out I bought:

10x pyromancer ascension @ 1 each == just sold for 36 tix total
1x memoricide @ 1 == just sold for 5.5 tix
1x argentum armor @ 1 == just sold for 3.5
2x ezuri @ 2 each == just sold for 3.75 each
2x Frost titan @ 8 == just checked the price, can sell for 11.3 to bots (holding onto these)
4x Foil Archive trap @ 1.4 each == am holding onto these in case I play this deck, but their value is up from 1.4 for sure
2x Stoneforge Mystic @ 4.5 each == slight profit on these so far, I am holding onto them too

But as you can see, even if I make no more sales and keep the cards I have left, I am still way over in terms of profit. Honestly, this is just a start of what I have actually sold. So far in the last seven days I have made > 75 tixs.

I wanted to thank you for inspiring me and I wanted to let people know that if they study trends and trust their instincts; this can really work.
