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 Battering Ram.

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), the opportunity ability, and being Neutral. A very good card that almost always finds its place in low mana battles. Under Tarsa, it becomes even better but I would say that it is useful in most splinters. The main drawback is its speed, just 1, which you can improve significantly if you buy the Gold foil, upping it to 3. Even with regular foil, it is a great card for the Reverse Speed rule set.
I would advise all players to have this card as it gives a lot of flexibility, and also holds it value quite well.

Market Analysis

A very good card which is not too expensive and holds it value.
Let’s look at the last 6 months.

Looking at the graph, the following can be concluded:

• in regular foil, the card’s value has not been affected by the recent downward trend of the market. In fact, we can identify a small upward trend. There is a resistance at the 0.75$ which seems to be very difficult to go bellow.
• in gold foil, the card recently lost some of its value, but has since recovered, and currently sits at th 10$ price range. There seems to be a resistance at 5$.

Please let me know in the comments if there is any further information you would like me to include in future analysis.
Stay safe and Happy Holidays!
