PROTRADER: Pro Tour Kaladesh: You Aren’t Shota

Don’t miss this week’s installment of the MTG Fast Finance podcast, an on-topic, no-nonsense tour through the week’s most important changes in the Magic economy. And watch this YouTube channel to keep up to date with Cartel Aristocrats, a fun and informative webcast with several other finance personalities!


I don’t know about you, but this was a rather frustrating Pro Tour for me. I felt like I had a good bead on it heading in, and the results bore that out. Last week I said that there was no way the PT would be all aggro. Turns out only about a quarter of the day one meta was. Then on the MTG Fast Finance episode we released Friday evening, just as round four was starting, I made several predictions. I said Metalwork Colossus was my pick for the breakout card of the event; it jumped something like 250%. I said that Torrential Gearhulk was a card to watch and potentially profitable at $8 or $9; it’s $24 shipped for a copy on TCG right now. I made sure to mention Aetherworks Marvel just as we were pulling away from a segment because I felt it was positioned to have a meaningful presence; it was the prevalent deck of both the day one and two metagames.

  1. I was surprised that the new chandra didn’t see much screen time. I fully expected her to be played waayy more than she was.

    1. I’m right there with you Justin, and I think many expected her to do more during spoiler season. My suspicion is that she just lines up so poorly with Smuggler’s Copter, which Wizard’s didn’t realize is as strong as it is.
