In honor of the festive holiday season, Sig creates a mini-trivia game of sorts in this week’s article. Can you guess the unique cards based on the clues?

Last weekend, Sig received some very unfortunate news regarding an eBay sale he made of an Alpha card. It turns out, the card may have been clipped Beta. This begs the question: how can one detect the difference? This week Sig investigates.

It’s no secret: Alpha cards are very expensive now. There are just not very many copies to go around. But what about Beta? It’s print run is larger, but relative to the player base, it’s still tiny. This week Sig examines the Beta market and shares his thoughts on Beta’s likely price trajectory.

We got a glimpse of the new Standard in Columbus this weekend, but Sigmund suspects the format is far from solved. He explains why this is the best week to buy Aether Revolt cards for PT speculation.
