Weekly Speculating- Dunking Thragtusk..and Conspiracies!
Hey folks! Chaz here again, bringing you another article, I’m going to combine what I was writing for my second segment last week and merge it with this week. So, a bit more information, but again I try to keep it short and to the point. This will be mostly fluctuations to watch, I try to keep the same format for all of my Articles, but sometimes I will switch it up based on market movement/cards that are gaining. I’ve really been trying to discipline myself to keep these going, and to get BSB related things back on track, so stick with us! Just to reiterate that requesting invite to the BoltSnapBolt FB group is a great way to engage and not miss anything in case we all get busy and can't get out a Podcast or article.
**Looking back**-
Courser of Kruphix- So….this guy again. Making the front page of my article yet again. Courser has moved rapidly in the past weeks, and I think we have the new Thragtusk of the format. Which is ironic because they’re both green creatures. Though, the key difference here is Courser slam dunks on Thragtusk. I say that because Thragtusk was a Standard all-star, Courser has a wide range of utility that stretches into Modern as well. The price to buy in for a solid return has long passed. If you’re looking to use them for play, I think you’re going to have to live with these new prices. I expect a hold at 18-20$, as I have stated in weeks prior.
Eidolon of Great Revel- Buy these now. This is most definitely the bottom for this card, I feel STUPID I didn’t think to get them on the SSG Summer Sale. This card, like Courser has a ton of potential in other formats besides Standard. Modern Burn has already incorporated it, and Legacy burn to an extent as well. Foil versions would be acceptable too. Ugh...there were hundreds in stock too, damn I’m stupid. :(
Eidolon of Blossoms: Card is steadily moving *again*, should've purchased these by now. This will most likely hold an 8$ price tag on it’s own, Theros block really has few break-out cards. So the money is going to go to very key cards, like Courser/both Eidolons.
**Looking Forward** -Rotation /Conspiracy*Star City Games Summer Sale* (this sale is actually really solid, bravo.)
Cards I’m thinking of speccing on- Recently I have joined a semi-private group of other finance enthusiasts, the ChannelFireBall and StarCity sales have moved people to get in at a low price for long term and short term purchases. Some of the cards I have seen:
Angel of Serenity
Dragons
random casual cards (Vorel the Hull Clade/Melek/ect)
Supreme Verdict
Conspiracy *foil* EDH Generals-
Price-point I would buy at right now: N/A, yes, I don’t have an actual price point for these yet. Though I should greatly warn anyone who frequents here, or on our group to seriously hold back on Conspiracy as a whole, unless it’s sealed product (even then). I dont know how Conspiracy will end up. Large Print run? (I’m thinking so) Every year product? (No idea). I have heard and seen tweets/newsblasts of stores going through 400 packs, and the set JUST came out. Prices are tanking, and tanking hard. *Sorry BSB members who bought into foils too early! sadface* That’s not to say these can appreciate back over time, but the bottom has for sure not been seen yet.
So, a good amount has happened, and Conspiracy threw the market for a loop. Though it’s always good to close your eyes sometimes to the chaos and not be sucked up into hype. On the other hand, it gives you a great oppritunity to make up your losses, 100$ Conspiracy boxes more than paid for themselves right now, but the window is closing soon. It will be a while before gains can be seen on foils and singles if you decide to hold, so make a choice and live with it. I certainly have made a few hits, and I have potential losses sometimes, it happens, just trying to make sure the hits outweigh the loss.
As always email/reply for any and all questions.
