In light of the recent Daybreak Coronet outbreak, Carl looks into speculating on other cards that may simply be waiting for their Rancors and Umbras.

I love doing my financial recaps of older sets where I mine the expensive cards, but going back further is a little harder in two ways. First, there are just so few good cards in older sets. Second, the good ones don’t often turn over, so it’s hard to establish prices. Luckily, Mirage Block was the first “modern” block and it brought in some great spells that wizards still sling today. Let’s take a walk through time as we re-acquaint ourselves with the block. Below is a list of some of the choice picks from the block; I left out the cards worth under two dollars, leaving only the prime cards on the list. There are some cards in here that I guarantee will surprise you.
This week Carlos delves into some of the more obscure or “unplayable” Commanders in the format in order to see what they have to offer! What kind of tricksy things can Yomiji do? Let’s find out!
Welcome back to our exploration of Zendikar. If you were busy last week while we were plumbing the ruins of ancient tombs, take a look at Part One and you’ll catch up. Otherwise, come on in and let’s check out the second half of this set!
The second installment of artifact theme decks! This time Carlos is looking at a mono-red deck with Slobad at the helm and with his favorite combo in the 99.
Conflux was the second set from Shards of Alara – more gold spells, more interesting monsters and of course, more pricey cards for you! The set has a good amount of tournament-worthy cards, on top of a solid base of fun Commander spells. Let’s take a look at the set!
Last week, we tore through the first half of Shards of Alara. We saw hit commons like Blightning and killer trade bait like Death Baron. Let’s take a close look at the second half of the set this week and see what treasures we come upon.
Carlos takes a break from weekly post-FNM Commander when someone brings a Cube! Check out his thoughts on designing a limited environment while following along with his draft. What would you do the differently?
Future Sight was the third set in Time Spiral Block and it was full of all the busted elements you could imagine. The Development team decided to look at how Magic would appear at some point in the future, perhaps in an alternate universe. We saw keywords like Delve that haven’t appeared since, along with cards like the Pacts that revisited ideas on just what you’d pay for a “free” spell.
Future Sight is also full of money. Don’t lose a dime of it; read the article!
Time Spiral is a reward for being a veteran Magic player. It’s the badge you earn when you get Achievement Unlocked: Play Magic For A Decade. Time Spiral, like a Lars Von Trier film, is one for the critics.
Breaking up is hard to do. Breaking things in Commander is easy. Carlos is back with a Gifts Ungiven deck, minus the Gifts. Really!
