Well, everyone, the much-hyped new Pucatrade is here and gosh, it’s pretty. It’s also clunky and everything is in a different spot, which is never really fun. I am not yet a fan of the new layout, I feel it’s a lot of extra graphics and unneeded stuff, especially on mobile.

However, I’m giving it and myself time to adjust to a new way of doing things. I’m planning on a more comprehensive review of the site and how things work next week, after I’ve had a chance to play with the settings and send out some cards.

This week, I’m going over my current picks from Eldritch Moon. Normally, I don’t advocate getting cards from the set in print and is being drafted every week, but there’s a new factor: Conspiracy.

The short version is that a ton of people are going to want to draft and play and buy Conspiracy: Take the Crown instead of the usual Eldritch Moon–Eldritch Moon–Shadows over Innistrad. Plus, we have only one month until the Kaladesh prerelease!

So now is the time to look at EMN cards and make some strategic pickups.

Welcome back to PucaPicks!

I can’t wait to go over some of the cards which are undervalued and which are overvalued. Last week I talked about Oath of the Gatewatch and Battle for Zendikar, and this week most of my attention is on the rotation: Magic Origins and Dragons of Tarkir!

There are some cards in here which I love love love, and others barely worth the effort of a stamp. Let’s get to it!

Hello and welcome to PucaPicks!

Each week, I’m going to go over cards that are undervalued, some of the cardboard you should send away right now, and some of the things that have had a lot of movement.

My goal is to help you buy low and sell high, increasing your points just by having the right timing.

For each card, I’m going to give you the current points and the foil price as well.

Today, I’m going to focus on Battle for Zendikar and Oath of the Gatewatch. We only have about eight months left of them being Standard-legal. I’m not sure what the eighteen-month period is going to do to these prices. Are people already selling out? Are they holding on desperately?

PROTRADER: A Unique Grand Prix Finance Report

8 Comments

The premise of the “GP Floor Report” has become widespread in the MTG finance community.  Players and speculators around the world benefit from the most up-to-date price action at these significant events.  Last weekend was no exception – Grand Prix Columbus was filled with Magic vendors eager to acquire key cards to add to inventory.

There was one distinct difference this time: I was there.  This is truly a rare occurrence, as my travels to large events are often severely inhibited by adult life.  But with a Legacy Grand Prix exceeding 2,000 players less than two hours away, there was little to stop me from attending.  And while I’m sure many of you would be thrilled (more like entertained) to read about all the misplays that contributed to my woeful 2-4 record, I think there’s a different priority worth focusing on: the finance.
