Magic: The Gathering · Various Sets · Staple Cards · about three years
Commander Staples (Foil/Extended) is a card entry rather than a player: it covers Staple Cards from Various Sets, inside the Magic: The Gathering section of the picks tool.
Accessibility of 75 is what makes this interesting. The hobby hasn't priced the story in yet, and that is the only condition under which a high upside score is actually worth something to a buyer rather than to whoever already owns the cards.
Card upside (78) sits above the breakout score (70), which is the rarer shape. It means the cards look primed to react even though the step up in performance is less certain — usually because market size, playing style or an existing collector base is doing work the stat line isn't.
Set against the 6 Magic: The Gathering breakout picks scored here, its breakout of 70 ranks 4th of 6, card upside 78 ranks 5th, accessibility 75 ranks 2nd, and risk 30 is the 3rd-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is Murktide Regent, which scores 72 and 75 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.
Three years is long enough that current news is noise. You're buying a trajectory, and the main risk stops being performance and starts being changes in the hobby itself — what people collect, and what they've stopped collecting.
Risk is scored 30, toward the low end of anything in the tool. Low risk in trading cards is still not low risk in any sense your bank would recognise — it means the identifiable ways for this to go wrong are fewer, not that they're absent.
Every entry gets four separate scores instead of one grade, because a single grade hides the thing you needed. Full explanation in the guide: how to spot a breakout before the cards move.
