Keep, sell or trade this card? Decision assistant
Decide by the card’s role for you, not by a price: keep it if a goal needs it, trade it if you know what you want for it, sell it if you would rather have money or space, and set it aside while you are unsure. Answer five questions and the assistant applies that order.
The matrix behind it
| Question | If yes | Likely action |
|---|---|---|
| Do I need it for an active goal? | Its absence would set me back. | Keep. |
| Do I have another copy or a preferred version? | This one adds nothing unique. | Trade or sell. |
| Do I know what I want in exchange? | There is a specific missing card. | Trade. |
| Do I prefer budget or space? | A new project is the priority. | Sell, after checking availability. |
| Am I still unsure? | I lack data or time. | Set aside and review later. |
When several answers are yes, a goal that needs the card wins, then doubt, then a concrete trade target, then money or space. A price can inform the decision, but it does not make it for you.
