Hi all,

Introduction

Another post in this series. Thank you for your support in the previous posts 😊

This series intends to determine if there are other aspects of cards that may contribute to increasing its value. Based on your feedback I can focus on more/other things – so feel free to tell me where you want me to go into further detail.
I include some analysis on where the cards fit in terms of strategy and a market analysis of the price of the card in previous months. Feel free to suggest what more do you want me to look into in this series, and your support is much appreciated!
In this edition I will be looking at the Halfling Alchemist.

Card stats

Strategy

I will be focusing my analysis on the usefulness of this card in lower leagues (i.e. bronze to gold).
This card’s main advantages are low mana (2), being ranged, the Halving ability and being from the neutral splinter. This card is a top card in low/medium mana battles. Even in some high mana battles it can useful, as the Halving ability is massive. Being neutral, it can be used in almost every battle, making it a gamechanger, and its price reflects it. One of the best cards to reach gold!

Market Analysis

A top card, and therefore very expensive.
Let’s look at the last 6 months.

Looking at the graphs, the following can be concluded:

• in regular foil, the card value has been in a downward trend, currently sitting at 20$.
• in gold foil, the card has also been losing significant value, valued currently about 1/3 than it did a couple of months ago. It now sits in the 200$ price.

Please let me know in the comments if there is any further information you would like me to include in future analysis.
Thank you for reading this post.
Stay safe!
