TCG Player Deck Values/Costs

TappedOut forum

Posted on April 11, 2014, 1:54 a.m. by paytongamer

I have a vampire deck and the TCG value shown has always seemed fairly accurate but I also have a Goblin deck (Where do you run when) and the TCG value is WAY OFF. When I first added the deck it had a low value of about $35. Then it jumped to $75. I added some more expensive cards and the reported low value climbed to about $90. Then, all of a sudden the value jumped to $250. When I load the deck into TCG I can buy all the cards for about $75 + shipping. Can anyone explain this? It isn't a huge deal but it bugs that I can't figure out why this is happening when I doesn't seem to happen with any of my other decks. Thanks.

If I remember correctly sometimes it is because the card is a specific printing of the card by default. Meaning there is a card in your deck that has a expensive printing that needs to be changed to another printing that is cheaper if you want to see the actual value of your deck.

I noticed the same thing as well. My Derevi, Empyrial Tactician build was around $700 for a while but seems to have jumped up to $1500. Some other decks I look at have the same problem as well. I think it may be a bug in the tappedout system. Not too much of an inconvenience but perhaps it should be looked at. Either Epochalyptik or yeaGO! will have it sorted out I'm sure.

Guess what I just figured it out! Its your Sol Ring that's label as Sol Ring [LEA] (I am pretty sure that stands for the Alpha Sol Ring ) it is what is causing your deck to have that high price spike so I guess I was right! >:D (I literally took out each of your cards one by one until I found out what did it xp)

When I updated my deck, I only changed several cards. I also made sure each printing of individual cards was correct.

That makes a ton of sense. I am sure I can find the codes for each of the sets and I'll have to add or update them as needed. Thanks to everyone who responded.
