Friday Finance – Pro Tour Ixalan Part 1 – Seal It

Hello hello hello and welcome to Friday Finance here on the Constructed Criticism network. This week we will be looking at whether sealed product is still the sure financial dunk it used to be. Then we will have the returning Promising Pickups. Just want to throw out that the Patreon (www.patreon.com/cardboardcommodities) is still live, but a weekly video series is making good steps towards getting closer to release.
Before we start, I just want to apologise. This article was written last week and it was only when it got to Monday for me to start writing the next I realised that I never actually published it. So to apologise, there will be an article every day of this Pro Tour weekend.

Friday Finance – Bulk It Off

Hello hello hello and welcome to Friday Finance here on the Constructed Criticism network. I first would like to explain my absence. I try and write these articles as close to the deadline as possible for the simple fact, I want to give you the most up-to-date information in regard to picks. It’s of no use to anyone if my information is a week out of date and the cards have already spiked. Unfortunately, every time I sit down to write something has come up. There has been bereavement, hospital trips and various work issues. However, I’ve decided to take a new method of content creation that will hopefully avoid these issues. So I aploigise for the lack of content these last weeks, something I feel like I’m doing more and more often. I hope this is the last time.
This week we will be discussing the idea that bulk is hard work and not worth your time and effort. We then move onto the potential movers and shaker. I also just want to throw out that the Patreon is still live, with a weekly video series is making good steps towards getting closer to release. Lets get it going.
