Mad Magic w/ Burt Macklin

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! I know, I’ve been slacking but things have been pretty slow considering how dead paper Magic has been lately. We do have some Commander movement and some randomly absurd Arabian Nights silliness so listen up! [scryimg] repentant blacksmith [/scryimg] Repentant Blacksmith from Arabian Nights up +796% now 189.99$ from 21.18$ Well, that’s certainly an unprecedented amount of growth for a card that sees play in one, ONE, Commander deck… To make matters even more bizarre is Read more…

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! I’m alive lol. Let’s skim over this weeks stock analysis real quick there isn’t much to talk about. Basically Jumpstart rolled out and one card stole the show: TINYBONES!!! [scryimg] tinybones, trinket thief [/scryimg] “@ Lil’ Bits we got tiny lasagna, tiny pizza, tiny pie. Mmm! We even got tiny… fried eggs…” But best of all we got TINYBONES! Yep. Basically this little guy dethroned Nath as a discard commander and is in major contention w/ Read more…

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! Cards. Let’s talk about cards. I’ve kept an eye on them over the past week and it has been very VERY interesting indeed. First on this list is: Invoke Prejudice from Legends (which isn’t available for sale on TCGplayer or viewing on Scryfall anymore (glad I took screen shots for science!)) Politics aside, I’m looking at this card from a purely scientific and financially objective view point. Up approx. 189% now 467.20$ (avg. eBay pricing) from Read more…

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! Buckle up, you’re in for a bumpy ride. “I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad.” –Network (1976). Normally I bite my tongue and attempt to keep my content focused and professional as possible by keeping comments and personal opinions to myself (potential WW3 and COVID-19…). However, if we don’t voice ourselves on this particular issue we are a part of the problem. And if my sponsors/editors censor me that Read more…

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! This week I did something a little different: I checked the stocks daily cherry picking sensationally high price spike percentages so if you see a card that is currently half the price of what I’m about to report, that’s why. LET’S GO! [scryimg] vexing shusher [/scryimg] Vexing Shusher from Shadowmoor up 428% now 56.99$ from 10.79$ No, not that shusher. Vexing Shusher silly! Limited print run making it susceptible to price manipulation which was exactly the Read more…

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! Crazy times we are living in right now, it makes me dizzy at times. Anyways, companion cards are still causing controversy as we await a B&R announcement. Buying copies of Lurrus @ 25$ each is not where I’d want to be right now. Same goes for Mishra’s Bauble: if you bought into them during the Lurrus hype I feel for you son b/c a month ago the Iconic Masters versions were 8$. In other news… [scryimg] Read more…

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! It’s time for another card stocks analysis from this past week. In the words of Mario, “Let’s-a go!” [scryimg] uba mask [/scryimg] Uba Mask from Champions of Kamigawa up 514% now 5.35$ from 0.87¢ Ooo, hot doggy! Uba Mask makes a nasty combo with the new card Drannith Magistrate.

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! We had a pretty busy week actually and some significant 💰% movement. Without further ado, LET’S GO! 😀 [scryimg] cephalid constable [/scryimg] Cephalid Constable from 10th Ed. up 1,019% now 19.37$ from 1.73$ Cephalid Constable from Judgment up 809% now 9.09$ from 1.00$ Okie dokie, this card is up an ungodly amount this week because it got a Command Zone mention, has only two printings, and makes for groovy good-times in the Otrimi mutate deck.
