So I originally promised that today would be the Fifth Dawn review, and you’ll see that in this space before long (probably), but there is something else I want to talk about first, and it may turn out to be one of the more interesting finance topics of the year.
What do you know about the Magic board game?
Yes, I’m serious.
Happy Pro Tour Friday! I was off last week on a (much appreciated) vacation, but I’m glad that I made it back in time to enjoy one of Magic‘s four biggest weekends of the year1. Today is going to be one of those days where we just hit a whole bunch of different stuff at once, but I do want to talk a little about Standard going into this important event. I’m going to try to make the content relevant for the whole of the Pro Tour, and not just dated speculation after round eight.

Hello, and welcome to “That New Clash Pack Week” here at MTGPrice.com! I’m (partially) kidding, of course, although the finance community is right to be excited. There are very few opportunities for a 100-percent clean arbitrage, and the numbers on this product currently work out in the buyer’s favor.
When the MTGPrice staff talked about breaking up the set for reviews, I began to think about what my ideal section would be. Thankfully, when I volunteered to participate, the section I wanted was the only one left: red.
