This is buying and selling in the 'Utility Market'. If I want to buy cards for a deck to play with, I'm literally telling my FLGS "cheapest option possible". Then came Foils, and showcase, and etched foils, and showcase etched foil, and a bunch of stuff I missed (expeditions), and Foil Neon Ink, and Gilded Foil. Cards were either Black Bordered, or they were crap. Buying cards was significantly simpler then. I'm buying cards again for fun and profit. Price yourself in (if you have the capital) and spin the mtg roulette wheel.Īnecdotal, but you've described my lived experience right now.
So in conclusion, if you can buy in now, esp with amazon pre-orders since you can cancel when spoiler season drops, why wouldn't you?
But this is of course very dependent on what high value cards they choose to reprint. If the past is any guidance on how Double Masters 2 will fare, obviously depending on the reprint selection and 3% shiny taco pee pee poo poo ca ca foil variant lottery odds on select cards, grabbing a case of draft boosters and a few collector boosters and sitting on them for a few years is not a bad play. Which while insane to the average consumer, is acceptable to those that subscribe to the idea that magic intrinsically has value and those that know how to manipulate said value into gains will not struggle with the rising costs of the cardboard but will actually benefit from them.įrom a financial standpoint, and if I'm basing this on recent precedent, a regular box of Double Masters is floating around the ~800 per box mark which if you bought in at $250 is an amazing return. This set is literally a cash grab at people who can afford to drop thousands on a 4 pack of 15 cards. No threads asking what to do with your cards or moneyĬhecking out the main MTG subreddit and reading all the 'outrage' over the collector product, I find it funny how people complain that WoTC/Hasbro are fleecing the regular player base and products like these will be the downfall of MTG as a whole.įirst, product like these are for formats that are inherently already expensive as it, we're talking legacy, modern, commander, and even pioneer.
