Each pre-release, we compile a list of the valuable cards from the new set and put them into a handy, printer-friendly document. The goal is to give everyone quick, easy access to price information when they go to their pre-release events. This keeps trading fair, and more importantly, who wants to mess with their phone to look up prices at 3AM? Not me.
We’re providing gorgeous, printer-friendly PDFs of all the Khans morphs, sorted by color(s), rarity, and flip cost. Print these out and refer to them between rounds. Memorize your morphs, kids!
