You also have the tron lands and Expedition Map at common. These will most definitely drop in price as more product is opened, but it’s good to know that you may be able to buylist an uncommon or two right out the gate.

The last card worth at least a buck at uncommon (so far) is Dread Return. Yet, I would still be delighted to open one in a Double Masters booster! I don’t even know if Big Jace aka Jace 2.0 sees much constructed play anymore. These have each been reprinted multiple times, yet they seem to cling to their high price tag. The headliners include favorites such as Force of Will ($100), Mana Crypt ($120), and Jace, the Mind Sculptor ($59). Not surprisingly, the mythic list is far more exciting and flashy than the rare list. So far, 25 mythic rares have been spoiled out of a total 40. So does that mean this set is a bust? Not yet! Let’s examine the mythic rares to see if they salvage this set’s EV! The Mythic Rares Players are going to rush out to sell the cards they open to recoup costs and we’ll see some weak buylists in the near future. That seems like awful value, especially considering the fact that the average rare value is certainly going to drop over the next couple weeks, even if the print run is tiny. Consider this: on TCGplayer, the cheapest sealed booster packs for preorder are selling for $14.73. So, with this data in hand, if you crack open two rares (no mythics) in Double Masters booster pack, you’re going to see $7.56 in value. But, judging from past experience, I don’t expect the average rare value to deviate too much-there’s enough data already so that a surprise outlier wouldn’t shift the mean all that much. The set has a total of 121 rares, so there are still 41 to be spoiled as of this article’s writing.
