MTGGoldfish: Pro Tour Aether Revolt Decks

[width="1"] [MTGGoldfish][Magic Newsletter] --------------------------------------------------------------- Pro Tour Aether Revolt --------------------------------------------------------------- [Pro tour aether revolt decklists] [Pro Tour Aether Revolt]( is in the books! It was a crazy weekend, with Day 1 starting with three big decks: Saheeli, GB Snake, and Mardu Vehicles. However, by Day 2 the field was mostly Mardu Vehicles and GB Snake (Saheeli posted a miserable 36% conversion rate), and after all was said and done, the Top 8 featured 6/8 Mardu Vehicles decks. The eventual winner was Lucas Esper Berthoud with Mardu Vehicles! Breakout cards included [Fatal Push](Revolt/Fatal+Push#paper) (75% of decks), [Scrapheap Scrounger](Scrounger#paper) (57% of decks), and [Heart of Kiran](Revolt/Heart+of+Kiran#paper) (50% of decks). Be sure to check back on Monday as we release our full "By the Numbers" analysis of Pro Tour Aether Revolt. - [Pro Tour Aether Revolt Decks (6+ Wins)]( - [Pro Tour Aether Revolt Day One Live Updates]( - [Pro Tour Aether Revolt Day Two Live Updates]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Budget Magic: $55 (18 tix) Standard Paradox Engine --------------------------------------------------------------- [Paradox%2bengine e1e7a25b 156c 46d9 94ae 44440ccf8cb9%2ejpg](2BEngine-e1e7a25b-156c-46d9-94ae-44440ccf8cb9%2Ejpg) What's better than going infinite in Standard? Going infinite in Standard for only $55! It's Paradox Engine time[Heart of Kiran](Revolt/Heart+of+Kiran#paper)[Tezzeret's Simulacrum](Revolt/Tezzerets+Simulacrum#paper) The biggest finance news this week comes out of Pro Tour Aether Revolt. First, we have the parade of failed specs which players bought leading up to the Pro Tour in hopes of a breakout performance. Headlining this parade are [Paradox Engine](Revolt/Paradox+Engine#paper) (up 59% to over $10) and [Inspiring Statuary](Revolt/Inspiring+Statuary#paper) (up 74% to $3). These cards didn't really show up at all at Pro Tour Aether Revolt, and as a result, should return back to their previous prices over the next few weeks. Next we have the cards that actually broke out at the Pro Tour, headlined by [Heart of Kiran](Revolt/Heart+of+Kiran#paper). It seems that the vehicle is more than just a subpar replacement for [Smuggler's Copter](Copter#paper), but rather one of the best cards in Standard. As a result, the mythic increased 50% and is now $25. Also on the winners list are Pro Tour standouts [Scrapheap Scrounger](Foil/Scrapheap+Scrounger#paper) (which more than doubled to nearly $5), [Spire of Industry](Revolt/Spire+of+Industry#paper) (up 23% to just under $5), and [Verdurous Gearhulk](Gearhulk#paper) (up 11% to $20). Nearly all Pro Tour spikes drop within a few weeks, so to maximize your profits, sell as soon as possible! Last but not least, we have an odd one that I have a ton of questions about: [Tezzeret's Simulacrum](Revolt/Tezzerets+Simulacrum#paper), one of the cards exclusive to the Aether Revolt Planeswalker Decks. From what I can tell this is simply a low-supply issue (possibly combined with a buyout and one seller on TCGplayer having copies at $13 driving up the price). If you can actually find a buyer for your copies, you should sell. I've never seen [Tezzeret's Simulacrum](Revolt/Tezzerets+Simulacrum#paper) in a deck list, but my guess it they will be very hard to move and the spike should mostly be ignored.
