Pre-ordering singles from a new set is almost always the incorrect choice if you’re strictly playing by Magic finance rules. First and Foremost: Preorders are a No-No By no means do I claim to have all the answers, but this week I’m going to take a stab at making some predictions surrounding this hot-selling set.

These are some of the questions flying through my mind lately in anticipation of the July 8 th release date. Is that a reasonable price? Is FOMO taking the Magic community by storm? Where will prices settle? Most importantly, what will the impact be on the broader secondary market? Right now booster boxes are hovering in the $380 range. When chase cards like Cavern of Souls, Mana Vault, and Dockside Extortionist followed, it became readily apparent this set will be a hit. When folks got their first glance at Imperial Seal, my Twitter erupted-I’m pretty sure that card single-handedly bolstered preorder prices for booster boxes. For people just looking to add some of these cards to their collection, though, Double Masters 2022 will be a smash success.A great deal of hype has accumulated over the past couple of weeks as Double Masters 2022 spoilers rolled in. The Secret Lair series from Wizards has shown that they aren't afraid of reprinting desirable cards in quick succession (see Bloom Tender). It is important to note that WoTC has stated previously that Masters sets are one-and-done print runs however, it would be foolish of WoTC to not print a ton of this set given that it will generate a massive windfall of cash for the company.įor those looking to buy singles, I would hold off for at least 3 weeks before buying up any speculation targets and I be cautious about what sorts of returns I would expect.

However, I also predict that success will be a double-edged sword and many of the cards will lose a lot of their value. I expect that Double Masters 2022 will be a runaway success based on the choice of a lot of highly desirable mythic rares, not to mention the desirable rare reprints. I expect a price of $0.25-$0.50 long term. Even considering the love for Dragons that so many casual players have, the fact that this card was already sitting at under $3 before being spoiled means it will definitely be one of the bulkiest of bulk mythics you can open in this set.
