2 astrophysicists playing with data science techniques to see if we can predict MtG card prices and sharing the results. Love playing paper Magic (limited, pauper, EDH). Posts may use affiliate links in case you fancy supporting our data exploring.

Does the quillspike-devoted druid loop happen already somewhere? With Auntie Ool you get to draw your deck with it right?

Is that county champs foil now the most expensive token of all time?

Since Tophs's been doing some phenomenal commander metal (and earth) bending, we've had a quick data-science look at what other card prices she might impact : www.tap-for-value.com/post/unearth... #mtgfinance #mtgavatar

03.12.2025 16:42 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Seen a lot about how airbending is 'expensive/sorcery blink', but it also lets you *cast* them which gives lots of bonus triggers. Our list of commander cards that will be impacted by Airbending feels like it has a few different bits. Is it wrong? www.tap-for-value.com/post/bending...

We've done a review of how well our price rise prediction algorithms performed for spiderman and so here's a quick summary article on it:

Personally, I just think this deck looks a blast (and I've got a soft spot for Jeskai anyway...). Anyway love your thoughts on the card choices (for the deck or finance shenanigans).
