Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres is bonkers, and having just the DUPO print really hurt the price of this card. Non-targetting bounce and summons ANY dragon from the deck? Oh, dear god. Some of these shiny cardboards have risen up to exorbitant prices due to not having other printings. GFTP sees a few interesting and much needed reprints. Maybe if they get negates, a floodgate-esque effect, or more going 2nd options, they’d be more viable. But you ever get that feeling when the deck just does… nothing? That’s how it feels right now. It also recovers damage taken and can summon free monsters from the extra deck. Yes, it prevents its monsters from being attacked, but doesn’t prevent direct attacks. Overall, this archetype seems a little weak at the moment. Sounds ironic, right? But when you link summon Sunavalon Dryas, you get to fetch Sunvine Shrine to go further up in link-climbing. Sunseed Genius Loci, albeit a vanilla monster, is arguably the most essential one from the main deck. This humongous tree allows the player to tribute a link monster to destroy opponent’s cards up to the number of the tributed monster’s markers. This archetype revolves around summoning the link-4 Sunavalon Dryatrentiay. Someone could potentially break this deck, or some pivotal support could arrive to get it over the hump. Having a non-OPT removal (or any effect, for that matter), is usually good. There’s definitely a lot of potential for this archetype, it’s already got an “unfair” aspect to it. But the best part is that the destruction effect is not limited to once per turn! This comes up because some of the cards in the archetype actually help to get Starry Dragon from field / graveyard back to hand or straight up summon it! In addition to all of this, it also has destruction protection from dark monsters. It can also temporarily banish a monster at the start of the damage step, THEN attack again. It has a pretty strong effect, having an effect to destroy any card on the field when it’s normal or special summoned. To no one’s surprise, the big boss monster, Starry Night, Starry Dragon, is a level 7 Light Dragon. GFTP gives us this archetype that revolves around summoning level 7 Light Dragons from hand. Electrum also acquired a stake in Kaminak Gold, another Yukon explorer, prior to its sale to Goldcorp for C$520 million.GFTP sees two new archetypes come into the fray: Sunavalon and Starry Knights. While much smaller, Preqin spotlights the Electrum Strategic Opportunities Fund with a target of raising around $250 million as one of the funds to watch this year thanks to its eye-watering net investment multiple of 2.05.Įlectrum, launched in 2015 by prominent metals investor Thomas Kaplan invested in two junior mining companies based in the Yukon, Wellgreen Platinum and Victoria Gold, last year. Diversified US-based Energy and Minerals Group is looking for $4 billion. The Asia-focused fund is seeking $3 billion which should it be successful will place it at number two position. The biggest mining-focused fund currently in the market to raise funds is China’s Power Capital. Of those only 13 are primarily focused on metals and mining and are hoping to raise $5.9bn.Įlectrum, launched in 2015 by prominent metals investor Thomas Kaplan invested in two junior mining companies based in the Yukon last year In 2017, across natural resources 252 funds are look to raise just around $105 billion. Some money will also flow into mining from diversified funds which have $12.3 billion ready to be injected into natural resources, but according to a recent Preqin survey none of the energy-focused funds which have $206 billion on call are looking to invest in coal assets. So called dry powder – money already raised and ready to be invested – destined for mining totals around $5.5 billion while funds still have to exit $10.7 billion worth investments. 2012 was the peak year for mining-specific fundraising with $4.6 billion of capital commitments from investors. Last year five funds managed to raise $2.1 billion. In 2015 funds with a primary strategy of investing in mining and metals made up a small portion of funds raised with three funds closing on $1.1 billion in 2015. Money will also flow into mining from diversified funds with a combined war chest of $12.3 billion, but none of the energy-focused funds with $206 billion on call are looking to invest in coal assets
