‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! Not too much has happened in the past week, mostly just a bunch of Pioneer related movement, and some 1st place finishes drawing attentions to key cards… Nevertheless, there are a couple interesting cards on the list this week: [scryimg] nissa, voice of zendikar [/scryimg] Nissa, Voice of Zendikar up 135% now 20$ from 8.50$ She is a three mana walker and if history has taught us anything it’s that three mana walkers are almost always Read more
Fuego Specs [Pioneer Edition: Wave 2] w/ Burt Macklin
‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! Today I’ve got a second little quick-list of Pioneer specs now that we’re settling into the format. This list is mostly comprised of those “second-thought” sort of cards that people forgot to order on their initial first purchase of obvious must have cards like Supreme Verdict, Thoughtseize, etc. So with that, let’s boogie! [scryimg] Warden of the First Tree [/scryimg] Warden of the First Tree This card was a Standard All-Star and a staple in Abzan Read more

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! It’s been a crazy past week with Halloween, bannings, and me pumping out hella articles. We’ve got a few hot movers and shakers this week as well as a little announcement towards the end. So with that, let’s jump right in: Gerrronimooo! [scryimg] wild slash [/scryimg] Wild Slash up 557% now 2.50$ from .38¢ Simply a better Shock and actually this wouldn’t be the first time for Slash to reach 2.50$ because it actually hit 2.79$ Read more
A Deck Builder’s Dilemma
‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! Today I’m bringing you a concept; a single aspect of deck building that I have been thinking about due to recent events. As you know Pioneer was dropped on us a couple weeks ago and since then I’ve been brewing. With that I have encountered a timeless dilemma that I face associated with that process: To synergize, or not to synergize?

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! Even though the sun is up, my garage is still an ice box, which isn’t exactly conducive for painting car body panels. Seeing as I have some time to kill this morning, I’m bring you some hot specs that I’ve got my eye on this week. In no particular order. [scryimg] drana, liberator of malakir [/scryimg] Drana, Liberator of Malakir. I love this card (and I might just be a little biased here) but I feel Read more

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! In the words of Alpha 5 from the Power Rangers: Ay-yi-yi! Today’s list is a mile long (and I’m going to say this now: I stopped around the 50 percentile). So let’s take a gander at some of this Pioneer influenced hotness. [scryimg] trade routes [/scryimg] Trade Routes from Mercadian Masques up 202% now 4.87$ from 1.61$ There are two other printings of this card (8th and 9th Ed.) and both are still 1.00$ each…? I Read more

‘Ello ladles and jellyspoons! We just had a bomb dropped on us yesterday with the banning of Field of the Dead in Standard and Arcum’s Astrolabe in Pauper. Most importantly they announced a new format: Pioneer (Frontier 2.0 kinda) and with that came an explosion of price spikes. So let’s see what happened in the last 24 hours shall we? [scryimg] aetherworks marvel [/scryimg] Aetherworks Marvel up 660% now 10.26$ from 1.35$ The first on a long list of cards Read more
