The following card costs N colorless mana to cast.
Paradox Myr (N)
Artifact Creature - Myr
Paradox Myr's power and toughness are each equal to its value in dollars on the secondary market, rounded up.
*/*
Is it possible to find a value for N where this card is just barely playable?
If N=1, this card is broken, Even if it's a 2/2 or 3/3 for 1 it'll get played in every deck. It'll probably be a 20/20 for 1.
If N=10, this card is unplayable, except if there's some reanimator deck that is popular enough to drive the price of the card up. But it couldn't be a rogue deck, otherwise the card wouldn't be worth enough to bother reanimating.
Is N=3 or N=4 a fair cost for this card? Is it possible to cost this card fairly?
(To preempt the questions, yes, I know this card is unprintable, and yes I know that the foil is strictly better than the nonfoil. Let's just think about the nonfoil for now. If this discussion goes nowhere that's fine, I just figured it'd be something to talk about.)
