Cheap DO Cards to Invest In Summer 2022. I Bought 400 of Them
These are my recent purchases on the IMX market, altogether around 400 pieces that cost around 40$, not for playing, pure investment. I also bought some expensive cards but I will talk about that experience next time.
Safeguard Incantation
A popular card that costs rather little. I have bought 25 Safeguard Incantations, around 0.0003 ETH each.
Patient Pickpocket
One of the most solid DO Deception cards but it is slightly losing its popularity. This is worrying but I believe this card has a good future. It is also an order card and the order might get support in Core upgrades and future sets.
I invested in 40 PP, around 6$. And I have more in my inventory. 😎 I mean, eat well, drink a lot water, exercise and buy at least one Patient Pickpocket every day and you'll be fine. 😃
Stoneskin Poison
Look at Mugging and Sleep Dart, Stoneskin Poison will stand in this row, a must for every Deception player. Yes, it has around 100.000 copies as a common card but traders will care about it as well as Deception players who like fusing Stoneskin Poison in shiny versions. I have 2 gold ones already. And I have around 30 for further sale.
Crescent Werewolf
In April, it cost 10 times less. A popular choice for Aggro deck in summer 2022. A unique Aggro card. I bought 15. If you are lucky, you can find one for 0.0001 ETH.
Archpriest
One of the star cards of Control Light today. It may be in demand all the time the order exists in Gods Unchained.
I bought 30 for around 5.7$, 0.00016 ETH each on average.
Lips Are Sealed
Another popular card of Control Light but less interesting than Archpriest imo. I bought 10 pieces only.
Stormfield
I haven't encountered this spell for a long while. It only means it can't find its place in MJ Meta. A powerful card: for 2 mana, you cast a spell on every card of your board. A super booster you can combine with a spell.
Once, it had its finest hour in winter 2021-2022, and it may have it again.
I bought 17 pieces, 0.00026 ETH each on average.
Corpse Explosion
The story of this spell is the same: it is able to make huge damage, once it had its peak, and it is abandoned. It might find its place in Meta one day. I purchased 34 Corpse Explosions.
Death Nethers are low these days so buying Nether cards is a good idea.
Miraculous Familiar
The card looks good, previously very popular. But Magic is the most unknown domain for me so I am full of doubts. I bought 13 pieces, around 0.00023 ETH each.
All Seeing Spire
A popular Magic card in DO Meta but... there are many alternatives that foresee and draw cards... I bought 20 All Seeing Spires, 0.00007ETH (0.08$) each. Was it a mistake, how do you think? 😟
Cursed Obelisks
Necroscepters are a must-have and must-invest but they cost much so I left them off the list named "Cheap DO Cards". Cursed Obelisks however look interesting too. It costs only 0.00037-0.00040 ETH these days.
I invested in 8 so far.
Plate Pilferer
A great card. Blitz with health 5. Strength can be buffed - there are many ways today. It is Guild so Pilferer works with Frumentarii Instigator, Whisper Baron, Selfless Guildmate, and even Desert Mercenary. And it has an unique power. As soon as there will be Meta with much armor, Pilferer will become very popular. Today, it costs almost nothing, 0.06$.
40 Plate Pilferers lie on shelves in my IMX "vault". 🤠
Voracious Fiend
For 2 mana, you have 6 stats and leech and the opponent can't kill it with one hit - good for getting control of the board. One of the DO Death cards that is competitive in MJ Meta if only Death Nethers had better support.
30 pieces bought.
Decaying Rhino
A beefy Nether that frightens with its look alone. A must-have for zombie and Aggro Nether decks.
21 rhinos bought and keep watching cheap offers.
Overseer of Vitality
7 mana is a bit late but it buffs the whole friendly board and nerf the whole enemy board - amazing. And it cost only 0.15$. I have bought 21.
Pan Forgemaster
Always unpopular and with the great power like Plate Pilferer. One day, it might find a place in Meta and its price might make 100x. If not, I will lose 1.8$ I paid for 40 pieces. 😀
Cobra Scepter
If Card Draw Deception gets enough support one day, Cobra Scepter can become the second Skull Scepter - 100x possible. But waiting can take a long time. Of course, this is very "if" investment but this is why the card cost only 3 cents today. I bought 30.
This was my list of cheap Divine Order cards (but not financial advice - do your own research). There are also relatively expensive ones that can make 5x-10x. Like Nethersworm Lord, Sole Survivor, probably Sudden Bloom, etc.
Your opinion
What to buy and what not to buy today, what is your opinion? Which of my choices were the best / the worst? 🙂

UPD. On WR in Mythic, I was impressed by Chieftain of Impulse, around 0.00005 ETH currently:
Take a look at this Control War deck I lost to in Mythic. So the card is playable in Mythic. Or almost playable, an interesting one.

Somebody had a good shopping day on June 22...
Nice! My only quibbles are with Plate Pilferer and Pan Forgemaster. We may never see another card printed with armor >1. In fact, while I think 1 armor is a great mechanic, it will probably be a while before a set includes it at all. But, like you said, you risked $1.80, so why not?
Agree. Plate Pilferer and Pan Forgemaster are really "if" investments, high-risk ones.
great choices, I'm also collecting these and wanting to get shadow copies
Hey, thank you! Share your shopping / investment story as a post, would be curious.
