For now, Im going to look at the cards that are most likely to matter outside of Eldrazi decks, though I will mention that Reality Smasher is potentially a game changer that opens the door to aggro Eldrazi in addition to Eldrazi Ramp
Let's take a look at the numbers that will factor into our decisions: Cost: Cost to pull the card: $120 Charizard Ultra Premium Collection Box Grading: Bulk grading with CGC: $15 (must be submitted in larger lot) Shipping to and from grading (part of larger lot): $2 Total cost to own & grade: $137.00 Values: Raw Value (based on TCG Player last sold prices): Near Mint $500 average CGC 10 last sold on eBay average: $1000 CGC 9.5 last sold on eBay average: $700 CGC 9 last sold on eBay average: $500 CGC 8.5 last sold on eBay average: $400 As you can see from the market values, if the card hits a 9 or lower, I might be better off selling the card raw (if that is my ultimate goal with the card)
Proven Value Growth: Over the years, the value of Base Set cards has steadily increased, making them a reliable long-term investment
Ramp Black doesn't have access to any land ramp spells, but there are a ton of useful artifacts to speed up your game , especially as you start creating Zombie tokens
In such cases, Catharsis Roar deals an additional 120 damage, making it a total of 240
