Junk Constellation/Midrange: Good Time to Invest?
Economics forum

I am interested in playing Nam Sung-Wook's Junk Constellation deck from PT JOU after rotation, but am not sure whether it would be a viable investment. Seeing how well it performed poses a compelling case for biting the bullet and purchasing the cards, but at the same time Khans of Tarkir may present a card which destroys it. Any thoughts?

Most of the deck is commons, save Eidolon, thoughtseize, and Courser. You should have bought Coursers a long time ago anyway, and the eidolon is a pretty cheap pickup. Thoughtseize is also on a decline since so many theros packs are being opened.
I don't know nam's list card for card, but overall, junk constellation isn't too expensive a build, and I don't expect it to be, unless there's some treasure card in there that i'm just forgetting about.

Most of the deck is rares, actually. Thoughtseize , Hero's Downfall , Courser of Kruphix , Elspeth, Sun's Champion , Eidolon of Blossoms , Silence the Believers , and 12 Temples.

Hm. Probably should have actually payed attention to Nam's deck rather than drooling over PChaps the whole game...

Nam's deck was amazing in Block constructed, but it's foolish to try to sleeve it up right now, or to plan on sleeving it up immediately upon rotation. Sleeving up a block deck wastes the potential of half of the cards in Standard.
Don't get too set on a decklist before the cards in M15 and KTK get spoiled, or you'll waste a whole lot of opportunity.

While that is true the majority of the time, I ran Craig Wescoe's block deck for a couple of months after the PT, and won with it a lot. If the deck is just very very good, it can still win. I don't think that any theros block deck would be good enough to do that with though.

Courser of Kruphix is the best creature in Theros block, so probably.
