I am packing to go home for Winter break.
I am drinking.
This week I will be showcasing the second trade in the Pack to Power quest. At face value, this was a pretty level trade when it was made a few months ago, but as of this post it has shifted in our favor! Check it out:
Original Trade:
Avenger of Zendikar - 9.85
Vampire Hexmage - 1.04
Total: 10.89
For:
Goblin Guide - 5.25
Glacial Fortress - 3.67
Luminarch Ascension - 2.22
Total: 11.14
Profit: +0.25
Not much in terms of overall profit, but this trade helps to diversify the P2P card pool.
Now let's take a look at how that trade would look today.
Original trade at current prices:
Avenger of Zendikar - 12.18
Vampire Hexmage - 1.38
Total: 13.56
At first glance, it would seem like this ends up being a losing trade for us, but take a look at what we received!
For:
Goblin Guide - 9.55
Glacial Fortress - 2.83
Luminarch Ascension - 2.65
Total: 15.03
Profit: 1.47
The profit from this trade has multiplied nearly six times! This is why it is important to not only think about a card's current value, but to also consider its potential to impact the meta in the future. Keep in mind, however, that this by no means the prices will be the same a few more months down the road. Cards that are popular will move faster than less popular selections, so perhaps try to sweeten a trade for something you have that you know won't move as quickly.
More next week!
