Master of Waves:Advice
Economics forum
Posted on Oct. 13, 2013, 3:32 p.m. by fzebib
So recently got back into magic - by recent I meant past couple of months.
How do you guys deal with your cards? do you collect playsets in case of playing them or trade them till you get what you need?
For example - I MAY want to play g/w but I dont have all the cards - I have to borrow some cards to run a BRW deck @ FNM.
So my question : do I keep the master of waves or should I sell two of them to get a voice of resurgence which will DEFINITELY hold it's value if not even rise some more? Any advice is appreciated. Part of me wants to rid of them @ this price point and then pick up a voice so that I could have my third voice ( which is a staple card for a lot of g/w decks etc)
Sell the masters. They'll either drop soon, or after this Standard season, or after the card itself is no longer Standard legal.

The thing a lot of people don't realize about Pro Tours and such is that it's not indicative of their own local meta: it's just another meta that because it is so widely viewed it greatly affects the card economics. Prices go up and then they normalize after people test in their own meta and have varying degrees of success and make changes as their meta shifts to compensate.

My advice? Don't do what I did and trade one away for 2 Dragonskull Summit just before they skyrocket from $6 to $18.
More seriously, I can't imagine they're going to increase in price any more than they already have. If you need some Voice of Resurgence , I would do the trade as Voice has much more eternal value. That, and you need them for a deck.

Really their hype is just from the extensive coverage that mono-blue devotion has gotten during PT Theros this past week. It looks like a good deck, and a few pro players talk about how good it is, and just because of that the price skyrockets. It will not hold its current $20 forever.
