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 edition I will be looking at the Electric Eels.

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 HP (5), Speed (3), and Reach ability. Only costing 4 mana, this card is useful in low/medium mana battles and it’s a great off tank, due to its relatively high HP and reach ability. Moreover, 3 speed is not bad, which coupled with Kelya Frendul extra speed may make dodge happen from time to time.
A solid card for players who look to expand their choices, currently at around 0.5$.

Market Analysis

A solid card, with a reasonable price, which has been somewhat maintaining value.
Let’s look at the last 6 months.

Looking at the graphs, the following can be concluded:

• in regular foil, a slight downward trend can be observed, but not as low as the overall market. A resistance can be seen at around 0.5$ which will be tested in the coming weeks.
• in gold foil, the card has not lost value, consistently sitting in the 25-35$ prince range.

Please let me know in the comments if there is any further information you would like me to include in future analysis.
Stay safe!
