[@Dessarius]

For people watching in the future: the intent is not "go buy every card", this means all of those staples you want to buy now will likely be cheaper in a month on average, so wait to pick up those cards you want instead of rushing to your store of choice.

[@RaiyZa_]

In my defense, I'll get paid again someday

[@Jake_Games26]

I just want stuff to be available to the common player. But I know shit will be scalped and sent to crack pricing rn which is so dumb.

[@jappy3534]

Rip ral from 5 to 25

[@jibb8545]

Jokes on you. I preordered a bunch of singles and then opened those exact singles in my prerelease kit and bundle packs. I'm an expert level sucker.

[@Interrobang212]

Sell em

[@guisseppimelon8224]

I may or may not have preordered MH3 and I may or may not regret it.

[@randallferguson1981]

It happens with every set

[@guisseppimelon8224]

@@randallferguson1981 I just wanted the cards early tbh. I figured id take a loss and was fine with it for a while until I started to sorta regret being impatient.

[@Trujones]

I got rent to pay lol

[@HZAres]

It always happens when the value shifts towards the actually good cards, the only discount you are ever gonna get is it you think something is undervalue.

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

I generally buy a box and trade for what I didn't get with cards I will likely not use, as that's how I love approaching TCGs/CCGs. Staples can be purchased later, but finding the cards that will skyrocket is always a fun game, loved cryptic coat before it got hype.

[@isaacsantos6200]

I usually buy anything around the $10-$15 range since they will only fall a few dollars at most and if they do I didn't lose much. Anything above that is a no go

[@Voidqll]

I went to the prerelease, pulled a Ulamog, 3 fetches, 2 flip planeswalkers, and a promo Herighast. Best pulls I've ever gotten from a box and it was a PRERELEASE.

[@dcluvspie5777]

That’s almost better then the collectors box I opened

[@Voidqll]

@@dcluvspie5777 And its a PRERELEASE

[@C_0_L_D_E]

That's incredible my guy

[@Voidqll]

@@dcluvspie5777 srsly some guy got a foil ulamog and a promo one next to me too. i think the prerelease kits are blessed lol

[@averybluemondayful]

Buying preorder singles usually ends up with them dropping in price, but sometimes the cards just go up instead, like sheoldred the apocalypse, paid $25 preorder released at $40 and is now at $85. Somethimes the juice is sour, but sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze

[@patrickmcathey7081]

Ever since og goys stores have been really vigilant making that happen as little as possible.

[@zsorens4570]

I think these cards are absolutely the exception and not the rule.

[@illegitimatebusinessperson]

I'm happy all the fetches and shocks are cheap now, I can finally build some decks

[@irium_pls]

I mainly picked up the mono coloured MDFCs and rarelands, which were around $2 each. I'm not expecting them to drop, and if they do, it won't be by that much. The most expensive thing I got was a ruby medallion for $6 - compared to the previous price tag of $20 this is an absolute steal. I can only see the medallions going up but again, even if it goes down I'm already satisfied with the current price point I got it at.

[@MTG_Ronin]

I cracked two boxes and of course, pulled zero cards I was chasing and only a handful I was interested in. I’m waiting on prices to drop but also worried cards I want like NecroD will spike. 😅

[@AllstateManlove]

Cardboard crack strikes again! $500 on stuff you have no use for when the singles you wanted are collectively ~$100 or less. I only recently kicked the habit of "treating" myself by spending money irresponsibly on magic product. I have more money to spend irresponsibly on nights out now 😭

[@MTG_Ronin]

@@AllstateManlove lol… not my first rodeo. I have also stopped buying boxes of every set. I have always bought boxes, packs, AND singles. I don’t play commander anymore, so I brew less and buy less. Total fatigue. I made an exception for MH3 cause I’m all in on Modern and Legacy.

[@ML-yn9yu]

Never buy boxes. buy singles..

[@AllstateManlove]

@MTG_Ronin as a newer player, pioneer currently has my focus as I enjoy slower/lower power level but I love how deep modern decks are!

[@zsorens4570]

I'd be curious what you define as nothing b/c I'm sure there are cards in there with value financially or in play, you can't possibly open 2 boxes and get "nothing"

[@Suspinded]

I have been telling my group for days that the settle point on a majority of cards will come within 1-2 weeks from main release as people opening product race to the bottom in order to move their stuff.

[@addictedtomints9433]

I just bought cards for what i thought they were worth and now i am waiting for flare of denial to go down in price because its overhyped.

[@frogpizza]

1 month of rent ok

[@CupOYerba]

1600 in rent? Daaaaamn

[@nicholasbower17]

Only 1600 in rent? Daaaaaaaaaaaamn

[@Anthony-nd6vk]

I mean, I feel like channels like this are partially responsible for promoting inflated prices for the past two weeks and not consider that they will inevitably drop.

[@magusofthebargain]

I recommend waiting 90 days before buying a Magic card. If you can't wait 90 days, wait at least 21 days from release before buying a card.

[@MrCenturion13]

My son strongly recommends the same thing. Like a good dad, I follow his advice.

[@ryanrichard2736]

Buying presale prices has ALWAYS been a losing proposition. Not sure why it’s breaking news

[@ShyQharacter]

Only card I wished I grabbed early was borderless Psychic Frog. Went from $5 to $12 in like 1-2 days

[@Naustrix]

I had made this mistake with the special guest endurance and old bordered esper sent 😢

[@xr9790]

Glad the energy cards aren’t too expensive, I went to check just out of curiosity’s getting all the new precon ones and a handful of the ones from the set was like- 15-20 bucks for like 20 cards

[@momothedragon]

Part of the drop here is in chaff though. Even chaff has a "high" price tag when spoiled. If a chaff uncommon was spoiled and the price was set at $0.99 and then drops to $0.07, you get a huge % drop. This adds up quick when 90% of the sets is mostly unplayable. So the overall set value will almost assuredly drop a ton. But the high value cards will likely not drop that much. Obviously it just falls to speculation, but the numbers used here are not that helpful.

[@gamevision1155]

Buy high , never sell ..stonks (also me)

[@paridox83]

Bought 5 boxes at prerelease, sold half of the stuff I didnt want, or feel it would remain high. Used the proceeds to fund 3/4 of my next full foil modern deck. Approx 1/2 of what I spent, and still have all the fetches, good foils, and bunch of trade stuff. Feels good.

[@te2934]

I bought a booster box (non-collectors) for my brother (still a minor) who just got into magic for his first real set. We got some stuff, got an emrakul which he really wanted but in overall price we opened a little more than what the box was worth so it's okay I guess. He did learn a valuable lesson about cardboard crack. Side Note: My goodness the damn commander decks are exploding. Good thing I ordered the precon eldrazi incursion at 70

[@RS-op1th]

Bought a case of collectors and wasn't disappointed!!

[@matheuscomparini1663]

Does this trend also happens with the commander set ? Specially the unique designs ?

[@stephenreed83]

The exception to this being the fetch lands...they will climb back up very soon...buy them while they are cheap.

[@lisaparker271]

This is what i tell ALL my friends, the only exception i tell them is if you are going for hard to find foils, cos they don't move too much. Like popular foils.

[@SoopaPop]

preorder prices on commons don't really seem much different than the price of commons out of the sorted bulk from my local shop

[@pengeyboss]

will the other eldrazi deck from commander masters drop?

[@Gorbgorbenson]

I wonder if this applies to stuff like Pyretic ritual, which wasnt in mh3, but shot up drastically because of it.

[@StrawhatRye]

Tamiyo is crazy for being a 1 mana walker. To bad she doesn't do anything xD

[@onlyhuman3281]

To bad we cant have the Cracking pack experience with out going utterly broke.

[@gamblegod-tc8yc]

What about buying collector boxes will they go up and down? I can get a case for 2100 will it dropped?

[@hanschristopherson8056]

This same thing happens with EVERY set, unless it’s some super staple the price will tank in a month

[@WorldofSoupS]

Do the fetchlands follow the same price drop trends?

[@theonewingedangel8680]

Probably, delta should drop for a while before the fetches slowly creep back up again anyway.

[@SCARYasianMIKE]

Does this count for fetchlands you feel??

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Warren Soultrader at 11.99 USD, lets see what happens

[@chomper1329]

If no one buys, card prices stagflat. The price we see is people who 1. Love to gamble and 2. But because they see the price and they like to gamble.

[@Infernoblade1010]

Happens with literally every release! Stop banking on prerelease prices!

[@peewee0224]

Basic supply and demand supply is at its lowest and demand is at its highest. Wait for the market to settle to the correct price

[@prettyfarfetchd1838]

i dont see the fetch lands dropping anymore honestly

[@WolfLink64]

Let's not forget that Fury and Force of Negation were $7 and $25 each at release and they did nothing but climb to the moon after that. Can't say whether buying Flare of Denial right now or later is correct though. $20 ain't bad but it could be $80 or it could be $7 next month.

[@matthewbryant2972]

This set is just fun to play... people are selling out their pre-release events and everyone is finding the set super fun. Limited Play is going to outsell singles, bringing the prices on singles down, predictably. But, yeah, you should be playing the set to have the most enjoyable product engagement with Modern Horizon's 3.

[@nicolocarolo9787]

best time to sell just cracked cards like tamiyo?

[@HaydenMercado-nb6it]

They got into the content creators pockets with this one

[@vulcanh254]

It depends if MH3 is print to demand like MH2 or limited like Ravnica Remastered. I'm assuming it's print to demand, otherwise prices would get wild fornthe staples.

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

You should have told me last week 😭

[@quitenough]

Urza incubator was $12 and fetch lands are $13-15 on tcg atm Do you think those will drop further?

I'd wager they'll drop as the MH3 hype dies down, stablize for a few months then go up depending on the cards. Incubator I'd wager going down due to being good in singleton formats while fetch lands will slowly rise because they're in demand bloody everywhere. Check back in 1~3 weeks or monitor those cards.

[@chayadol]

There's so many strong uncomm in this set that under a dollar. I'm super sure some of these prolly go up in price in the future.

[@LostLandsLife]

new eldrazi deck is being scalped and has jumped up to 130 bucks. Hopefully that also drops.

[@zsorens4570]

The crazy thing is the deck doesn't even look that good.

[@deviousj5868]

I'll buy singles and maybe a prerelease box or two.

[@CrazyRampage]

Nice! 🔥

[@Queuexdodge]

I've had Arna for 3 days. Did i spend too much? yes. Will Arna continue to fall in price? also yes. But is it worth it to be able to play her at my lgs when i could just use webcam and proxy her? not really...omg what have I done.

[@epothos1]

Pulled ulamog, ulamog, ocelot pride, and flare of malice in my prerelease kit.

[@lorddiablo7659]

Bought jet medallion borderless for 7.90now it’s doubled

[@deathday3490]

I just bought for my decks lol

[@TheEvolver311]

If players could collectively wait a few weeks we wouldn't hear about Arena neing so expensive

[@attoboi9763]

Just buy premium proxies can make a deck with the cost of a pack or two and are indistinguishable in a sleeve

[@Matteo.C]

If your gonna proxy why genuinely waste money on fake cards. If you are gonna do that just print them

[@attoboi9763]

@Matteo.C because you can get away with proxies at tournaments if you sleeve properly, quite easily. I wouldn't be surprised if a good amount of players at big events don't own any the expensive cards A legacy deck could cost thousands of dollars, and you can get one that looks nearly identical without a magnifying glass or microscope for a tenth the price. Or you can build edh to play casually or w/e

[@vkinkela]

They printed the shit out of mh2 set boxes and collector … mh3 cb is a single run and set if way more powerful … the 2 are not comparable … prices will stabilize and then increase

[@mikgenta]

Exquisite beard

[@andrewkirschenbaum914]

Tell em

[@lilith_spohn]

That beard is absolutely bearding

[@dylonq1047]

Nice try, the serialized eldrazi will be mine

[@JohnSmith-mj7cz]

Manbun and this voice lol

[@Bobthebuilder42069]

Who’s gonna buy the whole set?

[@remogaming791]

or just proxy all the busted cards and buy the rest in singles

[@narkfly]

Why am I not surprised Seth pronounces the word undoubtedly as "undoubtably". While my general inclination is his grasp of the English language is exceedingly tenuous, there is a part of me that hopes (for his sake) that it's all a long con. If only it were true.

[@SeedingSource]

Just let me know when is safe to buy pls. Make another mini video

[@ML-yn9yu]

3-4 weeks after full release is usually when you see the dust settle to real prices.

[@sirchancelot01]

Video title is propaganda so you dont pull Serialized cards. Pull all and pull now. Consume.

[@adamtobiasz8793]

The news is that you can save your soul from hell by giving money to the poor instead of spending it on cardboard with ink.

I dont buy boosters. To expensive
