By my math, Silverquill Influence is still the cleanest Strixhaven precon buy if you only grab one. Real reprint weight. Real Commander appeal. Not just hype in a box.
Also, land tax 😂
Don't overpay. Check below to watch the price and make sure you know what you're getting 👇
Stock is gonna be delayed on these, so don't overpay. The price should be ~$50.

I've had lots of questions about the platform we've been using to play webcam Commander over the internet - here it is! convoke.games/en/profile
It's called CONVOKE. I'm not sponsored by them or anything but I definitely recommend it.
That's a link to my profile, go follow me there and let's catch some games!

I ranked all five Secrets of Strixhaven commander decks by raw reprint value — and every single one of them is over double MSRP in singles.
Cheapest: Witherbloom at $108. Most valuable: Silverquill at $171, led by a $25 Land Tax reprint.
There's also a brand new land cycle and a brand new creature cycle in these decks that I think are going to be commander staples for years.
And yes, I have a price warning for you. These all MSRP for $50 and that's exactly what you should pay.
Full video is up now — which deck are you picking up?

🚨 Mox Opal: $200. Chrome Mox: $184. Both at all-time highs.
New video is up. I'm covering 12 cards I think you should be selling RIGHT NOW before the market corrects.
The short version:
💰 Chrome Mox and Mox Opal: Legal in multiple formats, light supply, but a bonus sheet reprint would tank both overnight
🤖 Mycosynth Golem, Darksteel Forge, Ozolith: Commander staples with reprint written all over them
🌿 Beast Whisperer, Worldly Tutor, Aura Shards: Green staples spiking without reprint protection
😺 Displacer Kitten and Preston the Vanisher: Blink staples where scarcity is the only thing holding the price
🐀 Relentless Rats and Bothersome Quasit: Bulk-to-real-money moves you can act on today
What card should be on this list? 👇

The Avatar set just hit the four-month mark and the numbers are shifting. Collector boxes dropped from $681 to the $370s, but they just ticked up 2 percent. That sealed uptick is the exact signal we look for to start hunting singles. Every card in the top ten most expensive from the base set is down 2 to 3 percent this week. We are at the floor.
I just dropped a full guide covering the Neon Inks, the Commander Bundle promos, and the bonus sheet cards that are about to rebound. Click the video below and stop buying at the top. #magicthegathering
