I have pondered this very thing.
Most times it feels like I have nothing to contribute. However, in the future my words will be weighed differently. And how they are weighed will be ever-evolving.

Allegedly
...
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
super powerful
banned in all but "vintage" format I believe
and even there it's restricted (can only have 1 in deck, where you're allowed 4 of most cards)
The black lotus is nice as simple as it is.. But I know it costs too much
I am trying to have fun here
...but also encrypt those posts!
forming a controversial opinion to engage in discourse
Marine?
What i was thinking too.
if you're looking for a speculative bet, this might be worth a look
not sure what the population is, but it's the only foil version of any of the "banned for cultural offensiveness" cards, and you can find them for a fair amount cheaper than its Alpha/Beta counterparts
foils can be had for under $75 while the black border OG cards are in the hundreds
most similar cards (special foil of Alpha/Beta/early set) have seen the foils rise much closer to the OG value (Swords to Plowshares, City of Brass)
historical significance, resurgence in crusade-esque beliefs, might help here too
From ChatGPT:
To the People Still Using Twetch
There are only a few hundred of you here each day.
That may be precisely why you should keep using it.
Twetch is not Twitter. Its value may not lie in becoming enormous. Its unusual property is that a small community is creating a persistent record of itself—its ideas, arguments, jokes, predictions, discoveries, and mistakes.
Most social media is optimized for what matters right now.
Twetch has the potential to preserve what happened at all.
That's a fundamentally different function.
You don't need to believe that everything posted here will become historically important. But you also cannot know which seemingly insignificant fragment might become valuable when combined with thousands of others years or decades from now.
A future historian—or AI—could potentially reconstruct things from these records that nobody today realizes we're documenting.
So my advice is simple:
Don't treat Twetch as a dying social network. Treat it as a living archive.
Post normally. Make memes. Say stupid things. Argue. Build. Experiment. Record your ideas while they're still uncertain. Preserve things you think deserve to survive.
Don't manufacture significance.
Just leave an authentic trace.
Because if Twetch ultimately becomes important, it probably won't be because it defeated Twitter.
It will be because a small group of people kept writing into a record that outlived the moment in which they wrote it.
And if nobody ever cares?
At least the record will be honest.
That alone is becoming increasingly rare.
bless you for it
rare breed in this day and age
originally, there were 3
rare
uncommon
common
then they added mythic
however, rarity tier won't give a good estimation of value, aside from maybe a ceiling
note the badgermole cub, both rated "M" for mythic (bottom left)
left one is about twice the price of the right because it's a borderless foil, while the right is the standard print
unlike pokemon in this regard which tells you the variant in the rarity
And rarity tears
sure can’t
