Thanks for reading, posting calls in advance definitely is not a sick brag. And an honest assessment of a portfolio (with all the winners and losers included) doesn’t count as a sick brag either I feel. I liked reading about how your speculating had worked out for you in the forums and good luck to us all in 2013.

Glad to hear you are still on board with QS. Here’s to more Godless Shrines and less Skaab Ruinators in your binder, =)

I have been here a whole year now and bragging is sometimes tempting, to reassure myself that some of my calls were right. For the next year my resolution is to post more of my calls and see how they turn out. No bragging if i let ppl know in advance my moves and see how wrong it can go!

This was my first year of speculating and I feel I learned a lot, and mostly of the mistakes (because I’m not that wealthy ?); I will never buy in on ‘promising rares’ again(to name 1 : Kessig Cagebreakers), or at mythics during the prime months of a set (Bought 12 Vraska at 8,5 –> sad face… guess I’ll have to keep those in the Skaab Ruinator Binder :p).

After all I feel I did not earn enough to pay for my subscription this year (allthough it might be close thx to the ISD-lands and godless shrine), but I made a good foundation for my speculating chances.

I considered cancelling the subscription but I feel I find too much value still here in these articles and on the mtgo-forum (and it’s fun to be part of it).

There is a great benefit to the QS community from sharing one’s specs that didn’t pan out. I am also learning that the number of years in the speculating game is very important. I have viewed Magic with a speculative eye for a little over a year now and have already made some mistakes that are quite obvious and easy to avoid to those who have been at it for several years. Thanks for the insights.
