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 series, and your support is much appreciated!
In this edition I will be looking at the Crystal Jaguar.
A very simple art work... which correctly matches the card's name...

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 advantage is its relatively high HP (5). This card does not see a lot of play at low levels but can be used as an off tank. It only costs 4 mana, which makes it useful to be used in the Little League rule set, but other than that it is very difficult to find use cases where this card outshines others from the life splinter. I would say this card is mostly a collector’s choice, as it does not add a lot to players’ decks. The relatively low cost it has been having in the markets also signals this, a skippable card.
Market Analysis
A skippable card, which currently costs about 0.2$.
Let’s look at the last 6 months.
Looking at the graphs, the following can be concluded (note: I will be excluding the 10 day interval without data from my analysis):
- in regular foil, the card value has been relatively stable, usually sitting in the 0.18-0.3$ range. A resistance can be identified at 0.18$.
- in gold foil, the card has been slowly losing value. Here, a resistance can be identified at about 2$, which in the near future will most likely be tested.
Please let me know in the comments if there is any further information you would like me to include in future analysis.
Thank you for reading this post.
Stay safe!
