This is basically a qualitative assessment, aimed at guiding collectors and investors on what aspects to monitor when projecting the value of an Alpha Booster Box (or any other box for that matter): In conclusion, while no investment can be said to be entirely without risk, the Alpha Booster Box is as close as one can get to a blue-chip asset in the world of collectible card games
The reason it's nigh on unplayable in most decks is the downside tacked onto the card
And pulling such a gem can only be had from the very few remaining Alpha Booster Boxes
While I would say that any color can be the backbone of your draft deck depending on what cards you find in pack one, this uneven dependency on certain color-specific mechanics means some base colors feel more constrained in where they can go through packs two and three
This card costs six ink, but has some powerful abilities to justify it
