Doug Linn has been playing Magic since 1996 and has had a keen interest in Legacy and Modern. By keeping up closely with emerging trends in the field, Doug is able to predict what cards to buy and when to sell them for a substantial profit. Since the Eternal market follows a routine boom-bust cycle, the time to buy and sell short-term speculative investments is often a narrow window. Because Eternal cards often spike in value once people know why they are good, it is essential for a trader to be connected to the format to get great buys before anyone else.
Outside of Magic, Doug is an attorney in the state of Ohio. Doug is a founding member of Quiet Speculation, and brings with him a tremendous amount of business savvy.
Dragons of Tarkir enters its second week of Standard play with a strong showing for the set at SCG: Syracuse. While we haven’t seen all-out epic dragonlord battles in the sky, several staples are already emerging in the set. This week we’ll dig into the trends and highlight your trading steps for this week.
Dragons of Tarkir made its debut this weekend at the high-power SCG Invitational, where strings of ringers showed up to battle for novelty oversized checks. Doug recaps the financial and strategic impact of DTK.
