A primer from MTG Finance.

Treasures. It's all about treasures. They make mana, and mana makes the money. It's a treasure, you see. So what do we do with our money? Invest. Invest in dragons. Invest in swords. Invest. In. Dwarves. Dwarves make treasures, and my boy*, Magda, makes them better than anyone I know. But not only does this cat make money, she's something of an entrepeneur herself. She knows how to invest in dragons and swords, and what's the best sword? A pile of rocks. Magic rocks. The best rocks this side of the Mississippi. Hell, best rocks the other side of the Mississippi too. If you can find a better pile of rocks, I'll jump in the sun, son, 'cause you know what these rocks do? They let our dwarves find more dwarves. How's that for a return on investment? 'Cause more dwarves means more money.

And where do the dragons come in? Well, we got dragons that make money. We got dragons that drive our competitors out of business. Shit, we got one dragon that's also a dwarf. Bit of a weird guy; we don't ask too many questions. All we know is he finds more dwarves.** You see that's the real investment game, one thing feeds on another, adding to the value and getting bigger every time. It's like an ouroboros of mana, money, and dwarves, but if that weird snake-thing was actually a dragon and was swole as a blimp in space. It's like poetry, it rhymes. It's like a set of Russian nesting dolls, but if the smallest nesting doll was actually the first, biggest nesting doll.

But what if you can't find that first big/tiny nesting doll that is Moneyman Magda? Well, that's where Vivien comes in. She's a ranger. Basically Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, but she can do some magic teleport-type shite. If she were there instead of Aragorn, she coulda just taken the ring and blip-blooped over to the volcano and been home before second breakfast. Real grade A gal. She finds Magda when you cast a dragon. Synergy. But she doesn't work for free. TINSTAFL and all that. Gotta pay up front with some of that money we made off the dragon. If you're worried you won't always have the money, well that's investment; you gotta take risks. Shoot for the moon; might hit Emrakul.

Our startup capital is pretty simple, some mountain ranges out west with some of the white fluffy stuff that isn't cocaine. Effective, gets the job done. But we gotta attract dwarves; need some investors, and those fellas like mines, so we got some of them too as a sign-on bonus. A castle full of angry people doesn't hurt. The Fabled Passage is there for mind games to bluff the Panglacial Wurm. Not a dragon, but it looks like one, and your competition might get confused. And it thins the deck. Don't need lands when you've got money. Land is a terrible investment.

*For reasons both legal and personal, I should mention that the phrase "my boy" refers only to the intense personal connection the two of us feel, and it is in no way a statement on the gender identity of Magda herself.

**Honorable mention to Ugin, who despite being a dragon, is not actually a dragon.

No one drops, because one drops in red are just a fad. Buck 'em.
