Title: Long term finance
Post by: Bman0121 on February 24, 2013, 11:30:28 AM
Cards that will be worth money in the furture. Obviously the shocklands will always hold some sort of value unless they reprint the revised duel lands. Cards that will be worth big bucks later inlife  {Deathrite Shaman} this card has made a huge influence in modern and legacy and will continue to do so unless it gets banned wizards will continue to print cards that will make this card better for the rest of magic history this card in about 4 years will easy be atleast 30 or more dollars, another  {Snapcaster Mage} just like deathrite new and improved instants and sorceries will be printed with every new set this cards 4 year out look will probably be 35 dollars, and last on this list is   {Boros Charm} it is only a uncommon but so is  {Force of Will} and this card isnt as powerful has  {Force of Will} but it is close it will probably be 20 dollars in the next 10 years. To save your money when the time comes a.k.a rotation make sure you get rid of your  {Boros Reckoner},  {Thragtusk} and  {Thundermaw Hellkite} they see slim play in modern but ehrn they rotate they will tank hard

Did you really just compare {Boros Charm} to {Force of Will}?

I don't think this is true?

Never said that. I believe we had rares since Alpha.

Expect they didn't have rares back then. They had a common 1 and common 2 sheet, and uncommon 1 and uncommon 2.

It was printed on the most uncommon sheet of cards from alliances, and thus is closer to a mythic in rarity level
Rares have always and forever been apart of magic

Yes there have always been rares but not like we know them today. back then there were no discernible differences between commons and rares

I'm sitting on a  {Badlands}; I believe it's peaked. So anyone wanna buy?

Powerful card yea, but will anyone buy it after X years? Will they respect my asking price(avg + 15%)? I feel like you end up hoarding more items with the potential to sell one day rather than gettin an item that will sell oR trade immediately, preferable to sell as sometimes you have too much stuff & it's time to minimize.

Don't be so sure. Badlands is on the reserve list and will NEVER be printed again. It's supply will only fall as the years go by, and it's price can really only go up. I'd say hang on to it, especially if it's A/B/U.

Wizards is waiting for Legacy to die out, because of the Reserve list. It's ashame too, I think it's the best format.

Technically, rare is a card which fits the one rare slot in a sealed booster. Hence, I believe you're wrong, we had rares since alpha. They may have been printed as often as commons, but that doesn't really make a difference, does it.

Mark Rosewater just did a podcast about what makes a successful card game. Alpha and Beta did indeed have rares, but Wizards didnt want to identify which card was rare, in order to let players figure it out for themselves.

His podcast is called "Drive to Work", I suggest any magic fan give em a listen. If you can get past his voice, it is very cool.

Listening to it now. He nailed it right on the head when he said a small fraction of time people spend on Magic is actually spent playing it hahah.

His voice will take some getting used to. It's like a high pitched Quentin Tarantino.

I've been listening to Mark Rosewater for a few years, from his set announcements, interviews, webseries and now podcast. He is extremely entertaining and interesting, but when he gets excited then that shrill banshee wail I can't take it.

Just downloaded it. Guaranteed to make at least 30 minutes of work tomorrow a little more bearable.
