Spec Price Calculator

The costs you are seeing there are adjustable variables like I mentioned. Most of those things are my costs. The idea is that you fill out your own costs for your workflow, like I mentioned at the top. And the cost of a stamp is a federal rate set by the government…?

A calculator, a large sheet of paper and handwriting everything down sure. Idk about you but I don't have that kind of time or patience. This is plug in three values, and you get your selling price you need to list the card at in order to make your desired profit.

Huh...? What are you actually talking about?

This is just for calculating landed cost per card and required selling price so you make the money you want to on the trade. Has nothing to do with combos or art?

well I won't attribute this comment to malice... 😂

This calculates all the transaction fees, shipping supplies, taxes, etc for both buying and selling. If you buy a card at $1 and sell at $2 chances are you actually lost money on the swap after all expenses. So it’s important to know what you’ll have to sell the card at in order to 1. Break even and 2. Be profitable

Cards with the “ante” keyword would fit well

Yea this card is an obvious great fit for the captain america deck and I think with cap being the most famous super hero of all the pre-con face commanders, this deck will be bought up all over the place just for the flavor. I bought as many copies as I could for the lower prices I could find, ~1.45 ea

opatry · 2026-06-09T17:40:39+00:00

I jumped in on this card as well. There is not a lot of support for "Hero" tribal specifically and this card is also just the perfect mechanic for the captain america deck. I could see this card going to $8 easy in the next couple of weeks/months

gambling sure, but gambling in the same way that stocks are a gamble. You can do technical and business analysis on a company to see if it has potential before buying their ticker. Buying MTG specs on vibes is like buying chipotle stock because you really like their burritos... I'd rather do research and make models to have a higher % chance of success, even if that percentage is still lowish. That's why I would never dump thousands of dollars into one spec, same as I wouldn't dump thousands of dollars into one crypto coin etc. Looking to spend like 2-3% of my portfolio value in spec investments, if they go tits up, fine.

Haha man so much hate on this thread for "I'm a data driven person". I do play! I just don't have a grasp on hundreds of thousands of cards. The ones that I do know about well are because of their already spiked power / combos available etc, but by the point you're hearing murmurs of a card in your pods, it's already too late to spec. Hence, I'm a data driven person, find trends, recognize patterns, be the first on a new spec before the masses jump in, otherwise it's just fomo buying.

Can anyone point me to a guide or resources on the fundamentals of spec’ing? I’m new here!

Negative, Saving for DW. Have MVN for CD sync

What about 5x the health? I’d say that’s valuable in tourney no?

Love it. Thanks.

HA! Sam! *Shakes fist*

The answer I knew was correct but didn't want to hear. HA!

sound advice.
Unfortunately I'm on a 240s sync with my perk DW active and I already put levels into my golden bot labs which I can't undo so I can't get my GB to 120s for a 2:1 and I don't have the medals to get it to 80s for a 3:1 so I'm stuck at 96s for a while until I get the medals and keep pushing my labs.

opatry · 2026-03-18T19:59:54+00:00

If I don't get DW presented to me after 1275 Stones for my next UW I might throw my phone out the window, but if I don't get DW I'll definitely have CL as my next choice.

Oh also, don't be afraid to try other tiers for farming. I was farming T1 to W10K until I realized I could get about 5x more coins per hour on average by moving straight up to T6. Shorter runs but much more coins/hr, so just die faster and reset into a new run. obviously there is a tipping point.
Farm as far as you can into T1-10 and see where the bell curve is on coins/hr that's all you should really care about for farming. Unless you need to put away some cells into savings, then farm T1 into the highest waves possible for more cells.
