So Commander 2016 lands in a week, and maybe some of you are checking your big box stores early. It’s not unheard of for them to stock these a day or two ahead of schedule.
This week I want to look at the listed prices and see where I can either buy low or sell high, even though you can’t quite get your hands on these yet, I like to plan ahead.
I want to be clear that if you can buy the decks on the first day, and then move out the singles, I don’t think that’s a winning play…mostly. The postage rate is going to be pretty high, unless you’ve got a great source for stamps, or you know someone who wants most of a deck.
That being said, these decks have a ton of value, and a lot of potential. Some people, who get stamps through work or some such, are going to really turn their $30 msrp into an easy 6000 points, but I just don’t have the time for that. If you do, more power to you. I’m properly envious of those who have the stamps and the spare time.
On to the cards!

I think that Burgeoning should definitely be on this list somewhere. I realize it just got reprinted 2 times within the same year, but that creates a perfect storm in my opinion. If this dodges reprint for a few years or more, I think this could be $10+ again. Even if it gets reprinted every 2 years, I still think it will fluctuate between $4-$8, much like Birds of paradise or something like that.
Its not the best bet for a quick double up… But I really like how safe Burgeoning is now that it has copies under $5. Everyone who plays green in commander should want these now for years to come. Its one of the easiest ways to upgrade a 1-drop slot in any commander deck that plays green.
What do you think? What price/points are you a buyer? I would at least suspect that you wouldn’t be sending these out for 400?
