New Cards
Mind Grind | |
Starting Price: $3 |
|
Thoughts: People often ask, “How do you arrive at the preorder prices for cards, when they haven’t been released yet?” Part of the answer is seeing how auctions have done on eBay during the first few hours of sale. Another part of the answer is checking the comparable values of cards that have similar effects to the newly spoiled card. For example: Mind Funeral: Uncommon, $5 These are the two closest comps to Mind Grind. Unlike both Glimpse and Mind Funeral, Mind Grind hits all opponents, making it extremely powerful in casual/Commander play. The main drawback to Mind Grind is that you cannot target yourself—but the majority of value for the above two cards is to casual players who love the mill strategy, so I expect Mind Grind to maintain value based on precedent. |
Stolen Identity | |
Starting Price: $2 |
|
Thoughts: Normally I’d set a six-mana clone effect at $1, which is the upper end of bulk rare pricing. There are two reasons I have set the bar higher on Stolen Identity.
