Hi Insiders! As part of compiling our OGW cheatsheet, I also did a bit of feeble Excel wizardry to see what cards in BFZ gained and lost value since the prerelease. Shocking nobody, the prices fell a lot; this is typical in any set, by the way. Here's the data on the set.
What were the big gainers? Here they are:
143.09% | Â Wasteland Strangler |
77.92% | Â Painful Truths |
73.90% | Â Oblivion Sower |
19.40% | Â Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger |
6.27% | Â Dragonmaster Outcast |
Every other card in the set lost value. What were the biggest losers? Well, I hope you didn't park your money in these cards, because some of them would have eradicated your bankroll.
-72.91% | Â Beastcaller Savant |
-74.10% | Â Greenwarden of Murasa |
-74.81% | Â Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper |
-80.86% | Â Undergrowth Champion |
-81.12% | Â Smothering Abomination |
-83.56% | Â Brutal Expulsion |
-83.61% | Â Ruinous Path |
-85.32% | Â Sire of Stagnation |
-86.33% | Â Fathom Feeder |
-89.16% | Â Bring to Light |
That's right--if you got Bring to Light at the prerelease, you would have lost almost 90% of the value of the card.
In general though, the set didn't lose a staggering amount. If you bought one of every card worth over $1 at the time of the Prerelease, you would be out 33.9% of your investment. If you lost less than that, you beat the average.
If you want to play more with the Excel spreadsheet, I uploaded it here for ya.
