Now could be the best time to purchase Artifact cards

Valve has enabled the market for Artifact about 12 hours ago and it’s already very lively with prices of some items going high. The market opened with a tweet from the official Artifact account saying that only commons and uncommons will be available at first.

Blink Dagger is the most heavily traded item at this time and its price already has surpassed $4 and fell almost back to $3. The fall might be attributed to the fact that Europeans and Asians don’t impact the market because they want to open their packs first after the game is released.

The prices for many cards are below $0.1 and today might be the best time to purchase the Commons and Uncommons you are planning to use at a very reasonable cost.

You can place pending orders in hope that the cards you want will become cheaper. For example, you could create a Blink Dagger pending order and set it to $0.2. This way, if the price swings when the market is flooded this night, you’ll get your dagger (it doesn’t hurt to dream).

We’ve covered a list of cards that are good to invest into early, created by Petrify, so you can find valuable cards if you’ve decided with colors you want to run. You can also use the tier list created by Liquid Hyped which was updated a couple of days ago.

In fact, I’ve purchased Mist of Avernus from those lists at what I consider a good price and got very pleasantly surprised because it was sold to me by James "2GD" Harding, the infamous Dota 2 caster. I guess, today is the also best day to buy something from a known player or other high profile Esports community member.
