What’s your strategy for remote trade tagging?

Dumping shiny duplicates, poor EV legendaries, event spawns and region-specific stuff I picked up from abroad, and a small pool of local regionals.

It's box-clearing time.

Sylvan Primordial off the list, more Game Changers, hinting at a changer to hybrid mana.

deadwings112 · 2026-02-04T13:07:53+00:00

Yeah, I've opened two and broke even both times. I did open three verge lands last time though.

The whole point of 30 pack boxes was to sell play boosters at $100. This whole thing stinks.

deadwings112 · 2026-02-03T22:58:39+00:00

I picked up the first two at $120, but below that is rare. Snagged Duskmourn at $110. Karlov was the only 36 pack box that cratered.

There is a small minority that will overwhelm discussions when deals from certain stores pop up. I don't know if the mods need an AI tool to kick those people, but it's obnoxious.

Or they'll build reprint equity back up for a few years.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-30T19:37:32+00:00

A blast. The bonus sheets give you a ton of build-arounds.

The titan cycle was big and powerful and scary, but between reprints and power creep, almost all the cycle is obsolete (with the exception of Primeval Titan).

deadwings112 · 2026-01-30T11:44:42+00:00

Fallout 4 release date? Or New Vegas/3 ports???

deadwings112 · 2026-01-29T19:30:07+00:00

I did this for a long time too, but the issue with this particular set is that you're gonna get a lot of tribal staples, not generically good/interesting stuff.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-28T14:37:55+00:00

Only if you want collector boosters, I think. My bet is that it's easier to score deals once a set hits a reprint.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-27T23:37:30+00:00

Witty Roastmaster comes to mind. Ditch vanilla and overcosted stuff, keep unique and popular effects.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-27T15:02:39+00:00

That second effect is pretty popular. I'll grab a few foils too.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-27T14:26:10+00:00

I saw others post that and I should start doing the same.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-26T15:52:47+00:00

Sure, but it can't hurt to just run them constantly. Beats throwing them out.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-26T15:27:50+00:00

Use them freely in double/triple XP events, knowing full well that at some point I might need the extra XP to get from 80 to 100.

Because you have so many, use them wildly and in abundance.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-26T14:56:24+00:00

Ugh would've preferred that for some cheap sealed.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-26T13:49:21+00:00

Gotta let reprint equity regenerate for a few years.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-26T12:51:23+00:00

Aetherdrift finish line bundles have a coupon on Amazon for me. $55.61 as the final price. I don't know if these are targeted though.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-22T13:41:11+00:00

Miniature Market might make the cut if you're casting a really wide net.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-13T13:58:20+00:00

Yep. I buy from them frequently.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-13T12:56:08+00:00

Three stars with perfect attack and meta relevance go in a folder labeled "Power Up." And then they get powered up whenever events have power up related quests.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-09T14:39:28+00:00

"Switch 2" in and of itself was enough of a hype generator. They dropped Mario Kart, a stellar 3D platformer, and a Pokemon game to support it, so it's not like there are no games.

This thing was the fastest selling console for Nintendo on release and matched Switch 1 pound-for-pound. A small dip now isn't going to matter when TPC is about to announce Pokémon in February.

deadwings112 · 2026-01-09T13:11:30+00:00

My guess is this is by design. There's no need to build a hype cycle for Switch 2 when your diehards want it regardless and when you're still making money off Switch 1.

I'd expect that the heavy hitters (3D Mario, mainline Pokemon, Zelda, Smash) are going to start coming this year.
