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 ...

2017, you were good to me. Achieved living independence in a lush flat in Brighton. Deffo proud of this place even if it's a tad costly. Offset the costly flat with the new job from 2016 and managed to get a promotion to a leadership based role. (tho I'll be rescinded from that responsibility fairly soon) Got CFB: Core Staff for the year meaning I worked all CFB Grand Prix's in Europe, landed a good enough impression in Birmingham to be trusted into the 'Spec Ops' role for Lyon, a role which holds a lot of responsibility and is critical in ensuring a Magic Grand Prix runs smoothly for all involved. I had positive feedback on my work in Lyon and some areas to develop too (the best kind of feedback!) I'm already back in the role in January in London and want to visit USA and do a Grand Prix out there too. I managed to reach day 2 of 2 Grand Prix's (Barcelona & Liverpool) out of the 4 GP's I played in. The downs...

Setting up MTG Eastbourne (again) & Etiquette at the table

Image
Haven't I been here before? So it's 3pm and I'm prepping myself for the day (you see I don't get up early when I don't have to work or play MTG) and later on we have a meeting at my local gaming club to bring it more in line for better events and the like.  Gareth Ward has negotiated a contract with a supplier to get us booster boxes at an amazing price allowing us to run events with decent prizes while keeping the cost down... ...Still all I can think about is the latest MTG team I've got into. The name is currently looking like team storm count and we're going to be evaluating Fate Reforged this Thursday, hoping of course Simon Skipper is cool to drive.  We've got a great venue at Shrunken Terra in Burgess Hill, Sussex and the owner Jake Hutchinson is accomodating, providing us with hot drinks and food at a fair price. (£1.00 for a tea with a re-fill!) The venue it's self hosts webcams and is a good environment for us to play as th...
