Has Dragon Lord Atarka peaked? Will he fall or remain stable?
It will definitely fall. I knew he was probably the best Elder Dragon, but realistically he should come back down to around $15 or even less in a few weeks.

And while we're on Dragonlords, what about Dragonlord Silumgar? Not sure if I should wait to pick some up.

Dragonlord Atarka is a she. I can't see her going up much more. I'm actually surprised she is as high as she is. After the pre-release the elder dragons were at the top of my list of things to get rid of as I thought they would all tank. I traded her on pucatrade for like seven bucks. Then she doubled in price a few days later...oh well. You win some you lose some.

Give this a read for some good info
Atarka's floor is probably $10 for the near future. R/G decks of many varieties want it, Abzan is dabbling with her, and I fully expect to see a Sultai Whip deck splash for it soon.

Yeah, that's what I heard from a lot of people. I pulled Dromoka and am using him, no problems there. Even still, my 1000% profit on GGTs still remains hard to beat.

I just read this and picked up Dragonlord Atarka online for $11, and I feel fine about that. Also grabbed more Wooded Foothills and Zurgo Jr. because I've a feeling they're headed for a small spike.
@ JA14732: What is a GGT? I assume it's a card and I'm too dumb/lazy to figure out the abbreviation.

Yep. Bought a playset at 75 cents a pop and resold them at $7.50.

@ DarkMagician and Caharin: It's a 900% profit. He sold them at 10 times their original worth. A 100% profit is when you sell a good for twice as much as it cost you. Add 8 more times the value, you get 900%.

JakeHarlow He bought them for .75 each and sold them for 7.50 each. .75 is 10% of what he sold it for meaning his profit was 6.75 a piece which is 90% of 7.50. His profit was 90%. He sold them at 1000% of what he got them for.

Math major here. Time to clear up simple stuff:
Initial investment is $0.75; that is the 100% we work off of. $7.50 is ten times $0.75, and so it is 1000%. However, we had to spend $0.75, so subtract that from $7.50 and bang bang we're left with $6.75 - our profit. That's nine times greater than $0.75, or 900%.

@ DarkMagician: lol I know, math can be tough. I'm not a math major like bigguy99, but I do hold multiple degrees. I always hated math class though.
I work in business so I have to be able to report percentages accurately. :)

bigguy99 when I hit math in college I will message you with questions.

It all depends on how you look at it. Of the money they sold for, 90% of that was profit. lol

It doesn't depend on how you look at it. Profit is directly based off of investment.

How the hell did my bragging become such a big math question thing?
April 17, 2015 6:50 p.m.
That's exactly right, Didgeridooda. That doesn't change the fact that $0.75 was put in to get $7.50 out - that's $6.75, which is nine times the original investment. Like I said, profit is looked at in terms of what you spend, not what you make.

Of course that is the normal way to do it.
If I just sold someone the card for $7.50 though, I would say "wow, 90% of this is profit".
April 17, 2015 7:18 p.m.
The point is that when you talk about profit there is only one perspective - the one I've gone over. You can say that 90% of $7.50 is profit, but it's not the actual percentage that you make.
