Advice on Ulamog

Economics forum

Posted on Jan. 25, 2016, 7:06 a.m. by Grrvvpp23

I've been lucky enough to be able to pull 3 paper versions of Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and right now it's been at it's highest price, which makes me think about selling them and get a competitive deck with the benefits. Another option was to build a deck around them, which is also a great deal. What would you guys recommend at this point? You think it can keep rising it's price, so keep them and be patient while selling them or I should start thinking to trade them now that they have this good value?

I think they will rise, but, they will rise more if they are played in Eldrazi.

It's a modern staple and it's mythic, it's also used in standard, I expect the price to rise, just make sure you check the Innistrad spoilers in case they show something that might lower its price.

My advice, keep it for now, it might reach 50 bucks.

I'd say it's worth the gamble to see how the Bx eldrazi decks do at the protour. If that deck does well he's gonna shoot like a rocket since he and oblivion sower are the main wincons of the deck. Regardless if it gets hosed, it'll probably drop to 25 but the fact that he's a useable commander now Keeps his value up.

Thank you guys, I'll definitely keep an eye on what happens at this Protour.

Ixidron Keep them. They will either hold at $30, or double if they do well at Pro Tour.

39.99 on Star City Games right now, foil at 79.99. Really wish I would have held on to the copies I had.

$30/$88 (F) on TCG. SCG is usually more expensive when it comes to cards in standard.

If you plan on making a / eldrazi deck, keep them. Most lists run 2-3, but heartless eldrazi tries to shove 4 in the deck.

If you need cards now for something else, trade/sell 1 now, and hold onto the other 2. If you want to spend $ then build around him

I'd sell 1, keep 2. If it drops after you sell it, you have still made money... If it rises you still have 2 to sell...
