How to spend smart on Special Guests

  • Grab the cards you'll actually play. When a staple has several printings, pick the version that fits your deck and budget — it works just as hard either way.
  • Buy the art you love. Commons and uncommons with great art are a joy to sleeve and play, for the fun of it.
  • Singles stretch your budget furthest. Collector-rich sets pack value into a handful of cards — if you're building a deck, buy the cards, not the lottery.
