MtG Cabal Cast

We finish up our project, breaking down the various era of Standard in the "modern" era of the game and discuss how they line up against similar eras and markets in the sports cards. We'll look at the most prominent cards in each era, look at their playrates, their prices, history after rotation and what their price trends are in each of these eras.

Over the next few weeks, we're going to break down the various era of Standard in the "modern" era of the game and discuss how they line up against similar eras and markets in the sports cards. We'll look at the most prominent Standard decks of the era, look at their play rates, the keystone cards and their prices, and what the price trends are in each of these eras.

Over the last few years, we've discussed hosting, running, and judging events - large and small. But what we didn't discuss is what actually goes into making these events possible from a logistics standpoint. So this week, we start our two part series about what it actually takes to start running your own, larger events.

We take a holistic, soup to nuts approach and talk about everything from staff judges to on site food. Renting tables, to where you can expect to make your margins.

There's a ton to talk about, so settle in, grab a pen, and take some notes!Picks of the week: https://goo.gl/2hHEfdFind us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/MTGCabalCastiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mtg-cabal-cast/id1439847289?mt=2Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/78wBQ3FZyg3dTquca3dxNZStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/mtg-cabal-cast

From Spotlight series to Regional Championships, from Pro Tours to Worlds, large and prestigious events shape the constructed last name but historically, none has done that more than a Pro Tour.

With an abundance of ways to play competitive Magic and what seems like a shift in the importance of Pro Tours, are their results really relevant in regards to the Standard meta game?

This week we dive through an abundance of data to discuss what we have seen across multiple large events and the impacts they have all the way down to the LGS level.

Join us as we discuss everything from debt paydown to stock buybacks, Peppa Pig to Beyblade, and how things are looking over Hasbro.

This week we "put our money where out mouths are" and dive into the prices, demand drivers, and price drivers of the last six Standard sets in an effort to see if it's 60 card formats that are driving singles prices, or is it Commander?

We want to reliably and rationally, with reproduceable steps say, what is driving the financial viability of Standard products.Picks of the week: https://goo.gl/2hHEfdFind us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/MTGCabalCastiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mtg-cabal-cast/id1439847289?mt=2Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/78wBQ3FZyg3dTquca3dxNZStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/mtg-cabal-cast
