As a shop owner its my responsibility to see magic cards as a game of risk vs reward:
Lets take a look at the Mythics of the most recent set Dragon Maze. Everyone talks about how this is bad set and majority of the cards are not going to see play. This has effected the value of most of the cards so before you run out and start selling cards for less then you think they are worth, lets take a look at the cards.
Blood Baron of Vizkopa:
TCG player 10.25
StarCityGames 14.99
Ebay lowest 8.29
Clearly the pricing on the card is not the greatest, with the highest being 15 and lowest 8 its a 7 dollar difference. While this card does remind everyone of Divinity of Pride which is holding steady at 10 dollars and sold out.
This card should average out around ten to 12 dollars right around M14. While this card is no Divinity of Pride due to no evasion, the protection is great and non legendary status of the card will make for some weird games states. The price of this card will jump in the next month with the block pro tour.
If you have a playtest keep it don't sell or trade.
Council of the Absolute:
TCG Player 4.25
StarCityGames 7.99
Ebay lowest 2.75
Once again StarCity is trying to set the value of the card, and while it looks great this card is pretty bad. Now I know there are some who think its a good card but its not. There was a card called Meddling Mage which has suffered countless spinoff 's from Voidstone Gargoyle to Nevermore.
Current value on TCG is spot on if not a little high. Don't expect this card jumping in value anytime soon. Even with the Block tournaments around the corner this card will drop to bulk mythic.
If you have them sell or trade fast at StarCity price.

A card that is begging to be broken in any format, the value again is mixed between high and low but this card is seeing play in standard in the board and this might continue but the value of the card is holding steady.
Keep playset get more if the trade is low enough.

I have mixed feeling about this card, the ability is great but its a one time shot, and while the card is a really weak glories anthem for only some of your creatures and the flash one time is great, I don't see this card going up anytime soon. All the cards with the come into play ability are weak and with the Thragtusk most likely not getting reprinted its a wasted effort.
Sell or trade this card.
Master of Cruelties:
TCG Player 6.25
StarCityGames 9.99
Ebay Lowest 4.99
A bad card is a bad card, am just going to cut to the chase its a bad card because while it can kill a creature it can also be killed with no issues. This card is to slow for speedy decks, a bad card for control decks its just bad card. Now saying all that this card will see play in block and this will increase the card value but don't be fooled.
Sell the card current block if it sees play.
This will be all for the time being I will finish off the rest of the mythics tomorrow.
