Six months, that’s my new timeline. I’ve written about it before but the truth of the matter is that in the Booster Fun era, it takes around six months for the cards in a Standard set to find their floor. It’s also enough time for combos to be found, hype to build up and wither away, or for Commander players to plant their flag yea or nay for a card.

We know that Commander play drives most demand these days, and one of these cards is a case study in that phenomenon. So what I want to do is take a look at the special set of March of the Machine: Aftermath, which was a very small set put into regular and Collector Boosters (they weren’t called Collector Boosters, but six/half dozen) and given some premium treatments.

To the cards!
