Magic: The Gathering · Magic: The Gathering · Sealed / Singles · about six months
MTG The Hobbit — Universes Beyond (Aug 14) is a card entry rather than a player: it covers Sealed / Singles from Magic: The Gathering, inside the Magic: The Gathering section of the picks tool.
The useful number is accessibility at 70: you can still get in at a price that leaves room between what you pay and the best case. That gap is the whole return.
Breakout (78) and card upside (80) sit close together, which is the straightforward case: if the performance arrives, the cards should follow it rather than shrug.
Set against the 6 Magic: The Gathering breakout picks scored here, its breakout of 78 ranks 1st of 6, card upside 80 ranks 4th, accessibility 70 ranks 3rd, and risk 36 is the 5th-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is Commander Staples (Foil/Extended), which scores 70 and 78 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.
The window is about six months. Long enough that one bad month doesn't settle it, short enough that you're betting on a specific stretch rather than a career. Six-month positions are where people most often forget they set a deadline.
A risk score of 36 means ordinary risk — the failure modes are the boring ones, which is also why they're easy to talk yourself out of worrying about.
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.
