I have been talking about it for a long time now. I think my first week I even mentioned the release of Fate Reforged changing the price of Khans was about 5 weeks ago. It's been a while coming, but the time is now!
Khans is currently at it's lowest price ever on Magic Online. I think the price could drop a little more next week when Fate Reforged comes out.
There's also a lot of new things that I haven't seen much before. Wizards is making Fate reforged packs with lands from Khans to make it possible to draft FRF, FRF, FRF. I think this is going to make the price of Khans behave differently in the future compared to other large expansions. I also think that since Dragons of Tarkir will be a large set, it will be designed to be drafted by itself. I truly believe drafting and having new draft formats is the primary goal of Wizards wanting to change the Standard format. I think it's nonsense that they mentioned that it's because "standard gets stale" and they are willing to hire more staff to produce more new set ideas just because they care about the players.
I think it's motivated by selling more cards completely and I don't know how much drafting goes on in paper Magic but I know it is the primary way cards get onto Magic Online.
Anyway, rant off, buy Khans now or in the next week or two. It's currently at an all time low and could drop lower but probably won't because there are still good cards that will need to be played in standard for the next year and will have a reduced supply online.
