Battle for Zendikar, penny for the thought [FINANCES]


BATTLE FOR ZENDIKAR PRICE STRAT!

Makin' money, spendin' cash! 

One of my favourite things about a new set is looking at the crazy prices cards spike and plummet with. Don't get me wrong I don't always appreciate spending £25 on a Planeswalker card... But I love buying £2 rares which become chase rares (Pack Rat for example) and this is my time-stamped list of cards I'm going to talk about before the Battle for Zendikar pro-tour.

CARDS WHICH ARE UNDERVALUED!


1) Bring to Light - £4.00
- Despite not being a mythic rare, this card is awesome and we have an amazing mana base to use in Battle for Zendikar. Bring to Light screams power and at less than $10 (£6) it seems like a steal.

2) Woodland Wanderer - £2.00
- Potentially a 6/6 for 4 mana seems ridiculous strong and again we're in the period of standard where we can get 4 different colour mana quite easily on turn 4. I like the card, it's effecient and it's only £2.00... I'll predict this fella going to £6.00-£8.00 unless he's in some duel deck or sorts.
3) Scatter to the Winds - £2.00
- A Raymond Swanland illustrated counterspell is awesome! But aside from the artwork this card looks supreme. Perhaps control isn't the preferred deck of the moment but this card screams speculate to me. It's fantastic late game and at bare minimum is a 3 mana, unconditional counterspell! I feel this will be £4.00-8.00 before too long. 
4) Aligned Hedron Network - £0.40
- How is this en-masse oblivion ring only 40 pence! I think this card is going to break-out and be a big deal! We're in Eldrazi season and I'm sure the Oath set coming in January will be packed with more powerful spells. This card looks great and also looks like there could be some weird combo potential lined up, baring in mind your creatures can be exiled and if you have sweet EtB effects you're going to enjoy this! It's colourless, it's a wrath-style effect, it's awesome! 
5) Planar Outburst - £0.80
- I feel this card is grossly underrated too! I'm always weary of Wrath effects and they usually see play. Especially at 4-5 mana. This card can reset the game or it can just you a 4/4 and an empty board! I'm properly on-board with these awaken spells in control decks and I feel it's only a matter of time for the meta to shift over to some sort of powerhouse blue/white or esper control thing!

Streets of Rage 2 and working.

Work for a company because you want to, not because you need to. It's 2018, opportunity is in every aspect of our life. It's literally everywhere and you'd have to be blind not to see how many start ups and big firms need gaps filled. Not to mention the rife amount of space there is for new businesses to emerge and generate income quickly. I'm not really anyone in the grand scheme of things, but I sit and observe a lot of the time. Both my immediate surroundings and the bigger picture, often asking questions others may think are irrelevant. But those questions help me paint pictures in my mind of how things are. Take a look at one of the Sega's ultimate games on the Mega Drive. Streets of Rage 2 (release in 1992) These people worked late into the night, not because they had to, because what they had was solid gold, they knew it, they had fun with it and their bosses worked hard to make sure they had the space needed to shine. A small, agile

State of Judging - Burnt, OUT!

I should take a moment to make apologies to some people. I've been pretty weird at the moment. Honestly I'm not doing to well mentally right now. I'm angry, disappointed and have rage with regards Magic these days. This is down to a few things where mostly I don't feel it's my fault actually but have places blame on myself for over a year now. Judging wise I'm struggling massively, hugely, insanely and being the extroverted tit that I am I find it harder to tell something properly than try and clear my thoughts thought something like Facebook. I've had my own confidence shaken up by review, by feedback and by actions, confidence in the fact I'm not able to be who I want to be (who I used to be) as a judge. When things are running well, when heroes are around me to pick up me and collaborate with me I am proud of being a judge, proud of what I can contribute. My european friends in Judging and a good deal of UKISA judges are absolutely incredible as
