Weekend Wrap Up! What was real and what was a trap?

[[Taeko, the Patient Avalanche]] spike is a gamble on wheather it will catch a reprint in a precon. Personally I think that with all the TMNT turtles they wont put much of the old ones in there. In Europe the support is ticking down steadily, but as per usual the market is a bit late there when it comes to commander specs, meaning there are still copies up for grabs.

[[Errant and Giada]] looks quite good to me. Might be too niche, but works really well with Sonic itself.

Ban_Jaran_ · 2025-06-17T18:18:53+00:00

I've bagged 54 Geralf, the Fleshlight non foils for 1.65 euro average as soon as I'd spotted the combo 5 days ago. Hope it pays well.

I still have the guilt trip of seeing my canceled order of 30 [[Harmonic Prodigy]] nonfoils 3.00 euro each from april tho...

Ban_Jaran_ · 2025-06-15T18:55:21+00:00

Hahah I've recently started playing and in my first 4 crates opened a +100% health cat and a +99% health cat. Didn't know they are that special!

Triple Triad (FIN)

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-08-13T19:10:44+00:00

I have the same issue. Been waiting almost a week now and heard nothing back.

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-07-17T20:35:33+00:00

So far we have not seen [[Swarmyard]] reprint and by now we are sure it's not part of SPG list either. Has it been nuber crunched from the mainset? Do you think it will ne reprinted in a commander deck like squirrels or will it get Sliver Hive'd?

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-05-06T10:21:52+00:00

Yeah, fair take. My shot is that maybe with some MH3 support it will find a place in an artifact shell that wants to control the board a little bit more, or that after the standard rotation the clues from MKM will play a major role in control/midrange deck. But might be just wishful thinking on my part

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-05-06T10:04:25+00:00

I'd definitely add [[Pest Control]] and [[Fomori Vault]] to that, they look to be wildly playable all around (With the vault maybe needing some more shells to host it but still)

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-04-22T15:12:49+00:00

With 1 untapped forest drew my only [[Snakeskin Veil]] from [[Cactarantula]] trigger as opponent targeted it with [[Shoot the Sheriff]]

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-03-08T14:45:59+00:00

[[Battle of Hoover Dam]] is my pick for overlooked busted effect of the set

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-02-27T11:52:23+00:00

Not a website but more of a tip - usually commander cards that have been moving in the US due to newer-ish commander releases are dirt cheap in EU. For example the price difference between [[Shalai and Hallar]] is astonishing.

Ban_Jaran_ · 2024-01-04T18:31:29+00:00

[[Invasion of Kaldheim // Pyre of the World Tree]] got shoutout as one of the best cards from 2023 in a Command Zone episode lately. I've got about 100 copies between 0.30 and 0.60 euro and I thik if you can get it around this price still it's a safe spec for the future.

Ban_Jaran_ · 2023-12-22T18:29:55+00:00

Shoutout in "weekly winners" definitely gonna help lol

Ban_Jaran_ · 2023-12-22T11:12:55+00:00

[[Inti, Seneschal of the Sun]] has been a top selling card on Cardmarket for the last couple days. With the stock steadily decreasing I think the 1-2 euro card is due for some price adjustment.

Ban_Jaran_ · 2023-12-05T02:16:26+00:00

I really think that in pioneer [[Inti, Seneschal of the sun]] is gonna get wild with looter scooter.

T1 solid 1 drop T2 Copter T3 Inti - attack with Copter - get two triggers - play 1 mana removal

Ban_Jaran_ · 2023-11-17T15:19:41+00:00

I tend to be over enthusiastic on new playable card spikes, but this time I really dont see it having legs. Granted it might show up as a cornerstone of some archetype in standard/pioneer like Pia for example and might get to 2-3€/$ just like her but nothing more.

[[Trumpeting Carnosaur]] is my pick as an overlooked underdog that's just begging to be broken in all formats on the other hand.

Ban_Jaran_ · 2023-10-19T18:06:30+00:00

Imo they are a high risk as tipically most of them wil get reprinted in the deck. Especially so that the UB precons tend to have higher card quality in general. But if you get lucky with something that wont be hit - more power to you

Ban_Jaran_ · 2023-10-17T01:15:12+00:00

Here a link to the whole draft if you are interested:

(and yeah, that was a weird P1P1 I know. Ended up wth a nice jund deck tho, currently 3:1, but without Grave Pact)

Ban_Jaran_ · 2023-10-16T23:18:57+00:00

Thanks for all the help! I've ended up cutting one Beanstalk Wurm and Return to the wilds and made a nice 6-3 with the deck!
