Collecting becomes much more enjoyable when you know how to check real value, especially when some cards rise quickly and gain strong interest from other collectors
A tiny print run of English cards was distributed in Australia and New Zealand, creating a massive bottleneck
The more difficult decision for Esper decks will be choosing how to split your copies of Dakkon and Teferi, Time Raveler
The secondary market, through platforms like TCGPlayer and eBay , provides access to specific singles without the randomness of pack openings
Thats why if you expect to play against decks with a lot of ways to remove artifacts (Boseiju, Leyline Binding) or with both Teferi, Time Raveler and Rest in Peace, then maybe playing Prismatic Ending and paying more mana, but dealing with the hate for good is a better thing to do
That said, as the game grows there's definite potential here for some creative battles and deck building strategies, so I am very excited to see how this will go as the game releases and gets more cards added to it
