Hi all,
Introduction
Another post in this series. Thank you for your support in the previous posts 😊
This series intends to determine if there are other aspects of cards that may contribute to increasing its value. Based on your feedback I can focus on more/other things – so feel free to tell me where you want me to go into further detail.
I include some analysis on where the cards fit in terms of strategy and a market analysis of the price of the card in previous months. Feel free to suggest what more do you want me to look into.
In this edition I will be looking at the Fallen Specter.

Card stats
Strategy
I will be focusing my analysis on the usefulness of this card in lower leagues (i.e. bronze to gold).
This card’s main advantages are its low mana (only 2), 6 speed, Magic damage, and Flying ability. All around great card, and an absolute beast in low mana battles. 6 speed + Flying makes for a very high dodge chance, which will make you opponents go crazy. HP is not great, but under the Equaliser rule set that has not impact, and being a Magic damage card, it can work as tank (by dodging). In low mana cards, all you need is a tank in front (e.g. Cursed Windeku) and you are good to go – just hope you don’t go against a Unicorn Mustang…
On the downside, it is a very expensive card (due to how good it is) and can only be used in the Wild format. If you have the budget, absolutely go for it!
Market Analysis
A great card but a bit expensive.
Let’s look at the last 6 months.
Looking at the graph, the following can be concluded:
- in regular foil, there is a downward trend, which may continue in the near future, as the card has dropped bellow the 10$ mark.
- in gold foil, due to very low circulation, this card does not lose value, currently sitting in the 1700-1600$ range (uff!).
Please let me know in the comments if there is any further information you would like me to include in future analysis.
Stay safe!
