DFD: Dragons of Tarkir Update: In Digging for Dollars: DTK, I called out the following specs as undervalued cards with some chance of financial success (shown with original and current pricing: Dragonlord Ojutai: $4 to $16 (+400%, 700% at peak) Sidisi, Undead Vizier: $3 to $1 (-67%) Zurgo, Bellstriker: $2 to $2 (0%) Stratus, Dancer: $2 to $1 (-50%) Surrak, the Hunt Caller: $2 to $0.75 (-62.5%) Blood-Chin Fanatic: $1 to .25 (-75%) Dragon Tempest: $3.50 to .50 (-85%) Boltwing Marauder: $.50 to $.25 (-50%) Icefall Regent: $1.50 to $1.25 (-17%) Profaner of the Dead: $.50 to $0.25 (-50%) Dragonlord Ojutai is clearly the big winner here, and the amount of money I made on my 20 or so copies, easily made up for funds invested in 12 copies of Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Zurgo, Bellstriker that havent gone anywhere
