The Best Budget Friendly Buys From The Lost Caverns of Ixalan

12/23/2023

 
Magic: The Gathering's The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is Magic: The Gathering's 2023 holiday premier set release. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a return to the plane of Ixalan with plenty of Dinosaurs, Merfolk, Vampires and other Kindred creatures. In addition, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan features several mechanics including double-sided cards, descend, and discovery. 

In my recent article, The Best Steals and Deals from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, I share a few suggested singles to buy that won't break the bank. Molten Collapse and Growing Rights of Itlimoc are two cards you may want to pick up from the set. You will want to read this article if buying powerful, yet inexpensive cards is of interest to you.

Magic: The Gathering Dice and Spindowns Worth Money

12/18/2023

 
Dice and spindown life counters are common tabletop gaming accessories for collectible trading card games. Magic: The Gathering players often use dice to track the number of creature tokens in play, +1/+1 counters, and other game stats. Furthermore, players use D20 spindowns to track life totals in a Constructed or Limited format. Without the use of dice and spindowns, paper MTG games can become complex and hard to follow for players.  

MTG-related dice and spindowns come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors. For example, players opening a prerelease kit from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth may find a D20 in one of five color options, or even a special green variant. Anyone purchasing a Bundle from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth will receive an oversized spindown too. Some players and collectors strive to acquire dice and spindown from their favorite sets, promotional releases, and for other reasons. As such, demand for certain MTG-related dice and spindowns can drive secondary market prices.

In my recent TCGplayer Infinite article, An Introduction to MTG Dice and Spindown Finance, I discuss several MTG dice and spindowns that can be sold for money. You may own Spindowns from older sets worth $50-100! Check out the article to see what gaming accessories you have that can add money to your pocket.  

Valuable Foil MTG Commons and UNcommons in 2023

12/15/2023

 
As seen in recent Magic: The Gathering set releases, Wizards of the Coast has made an effort to increase the playability of Commons and Uncommons. Making Commons and Uncommons more playable can lead to a better gameplay experience in Limited and more lower rarity cards found in Constructed decklists. As a result, average market prices of several lower rarity MTG cards printed in the last few years have exceeded many Rares and even Mythic Rare cards, especially their foil counterparts.  

In my TCGplayer Infinite article, 7 Crazy Valuable Foil MTG Cards You Probably Own, I highlight a handful of Common and Uncommon foils with considerable value. You may want to check bulk boxes to see if you have foil versions of Tamiyo's Safekeeping, Stroke of Midnight, and other in-demand Commons and Uncommons in your collection.
