Which are the best cards to buy for POWER - 01/19

This is a continuation on my series monitoring card prices.

Power is derived from the below table:

Pro tip: Promo cards can't be distinguished according to their border styles, but CP value is that of an Alpha card. Always double check a card before putting it on the market to see if it is not by chance a Promo card!

These prices are derived from lvl 1 cards, you might get better prices if you search for higher level cards!

So what cards are the best buys now. We have a restructuration of the market, let's look into it:
1st place goes to Regular foil Common Chaos/3rd Reward cards
2nd place goes to Regular foil Rare Chaos/3rd Reward cards
3rd place goes to Regular foil Epic Chaos/3rd Reward cards

The impact of the Chaos Legion cards on the Power/Price ration:

9/29	80 Power/$
10/7	58.8 Power/$
11/08	31.7 Power/$

01/04	125.0 Power/$
01/10	128.2 Power/$
01/19	167.0 Power/$

Summary:

The Chaos legion sale brought the expected falling of the prices. A few of the cards were reportedly sold already under burn value. The cheapest cards on the market for power dropped by a whopping 30%, while the DEC value stayed the same. I did not expect this, but most probably a lot of market actors used their DEC or bought more to buy the cheap cards on the market.

A price hike was visible on the other hand on Untamed/Dice/2nd Reward cards. I believe this is because there is a limited amount of these cards and can still be used in wild as well as modern formats. We could see a price hike for Qid Yuff, when the 6th Airdrop card Grum Flameblade was introduced, as his Bloodlust ability would be great to kill off enemies with shield, which will improve all his stats.

What would I expect:

The future of the Chaos cards is to get even cheaper. According to the Splintercards site only a bit above 2.300.000 packs were opened :

This foreshadows that in the future a lot of cards will hit the marketplace and the prices should continue to fall.

There are currently a lot of places on the market to speculate with prices on cards/packs, as they jump 10-20% up or down on a daily basis.
The wild fluctuation of the HIVE token makes the calculations even more complicated for the packs, though DEC is quite stable at the moment.
I hope all of you will make the right decisions and will achieve some of your goals. I hope at the end of this I will have a fun pack of cards to play with :)

Happy Buying
