Khans of Tarkir: Cards To Invest In
Economics forum
Posted on Sept. 14, 2014, 12:47 p.m. by Sandy_Rivers
Now that Khans of Tarkir has been spoiled I would like to ask the community about which cards they plan on pre-ordering now and which cards they are going to buy up once they drop in price. If you're going to buy a card when it drops in price, what price do you plan on buying them up at? Also are there cards from Theros block that you see having synergy with Khans of Tarkir cards? Will you order any new cards from Theros?
So far I only plan on buying fetchlands once they drop in price. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Clever Impersonator is pretty good.. would be a great addition to any copycat deck.

Savage Knuckleblade is the main one I would say.

My post is half speculation and half economics, but I figured I'd bring it up.
With the emphasis on Ugin (see Ugin's Nexus and Tomb of the Spirit Dragon ) and his seemingly inevitable return (in some form or another) in the remaining two blocks of the set, might artifacts be something to invest in? I'm mainly talking about Ghostfire Blade , which is currently at a dollar pre-order price.
If artifacts become a thing, we could see Scuttling Doom Engine and other artifacts from M15 rise in price as well.
Am I too far out on a limb to speculate on prices?

Scuttling Doom Engine is going to see some play somewhere along the line. I'd consider getting Ensoul Artifact now in preparation of an artifact build finding a home in near future standard

I think Sarkhan, The Dragonspeaker is Actually better than stormbreath. I know it's legendary, but his second and third abilities are relevant in addition to being a dragon. I also realize he can't "block" but as a planeswalker, he will be netting you lifegain anyway. It will probably be seeing play in the monsters decks. I predict about 12-18 bucks while he's in standard.

I play mostly "small-ball" when it comes to investing (being somewhat risk averse and poor lol), but here were the cards I pre-ordered for Khans:
Mardu Ascendancy @ $.78
Herald of Anafenza @ $.82
Crackling Doom @ $.94
Hardened Scales @ $.95
Pearl Lake Ancient $.99
Rakshasa Deathdealer $1.25
Early returns are good on Crackling Doom, bad on Herald of Anafenza, and little movement on anything else.

Fetchlands is the first thing you want to buy from Khans. Savage Knuckleblade ,Butcher of the Horde ,Clever Impersonator and the planeswalkers are good cards to invest.
