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 Cursed Slimeball.

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 (1!). A well-known card which is very often used in low mana battles (<=20). Given how well Death splinter performs currently in low mana battles, this card sees a lot of play. If there ever is a rotation of freely playable card, I predict this card’s value will increase significantly. Although currently free to play, I would advise getting this card when you can, as it will not lose usefulness any time soon in my opinion.

Market Analysis

A very good card, which although its free to play, holds it value quite nicely.
Let’s look at the last 6 months.

Looking at the graphs, the following can be concluded:

in regular foil, the card value has been very stable, usually sitting around the 0.4$ range. Occasionally, the price spikes (to over 3x), making an interesting investment opportunity.
in gold foil, the card has been losing value. After remaining relatively stable for some months, the card started losing valued, having even broke a resistance at about 4$.

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!
