Buying Eternal Masters

From my experience of buying Legacy cards in February, I recommend players not to predict the price movement of a single card, instead they should buy a collection of all "unrestricted/unbanned" cards. The collection must exclude these cards: Mana Crypt Mystical Tutor Necropotence Vampiric Tutor Brainstorm Besides, I don't like cards reprinted for too many times: Jace, the Mind Sculptor Force of Will (this one is arguable, it's a safe choice) My plan is buying a number of all EMA cards from Tuesdays to Fridays til its promised limited event ending date. The reason for not buying all you need in one day is that: it's not sure if WOTC extends the period of EMA drafts and if they give out EMA packs as prizes for events. (It has happened in Vintage Masters marketing that they massively hold Vintage Masters limited events for a very long period.) The fear of loss must be overcome as now is the best chance to buy with the least risk.

Trade Record: It's unbelievable!

After Eternal Masters released, I started to buy cards and review my trades in February. In February, I bought a lot of Legacy cards for today. Skipping the others, here I will write about the best trade and the worst. The best: Moat I bought it for 3 tix each. I hope my explanation sound: Though just 1 copy of moat has been seemed in a small number of legacy decks, Masters Edition is very rare. It's very surprising. The worst: Metalworker (Promo) The selling prices here are misleading: I paid 6-8 tix for one, have never got any chance to break even since buying.
