Modern Masters 2015 Finance Advice

Hi Everyone,

Modern Masters 2015 is coming out in about two months. I want to discuss what "masters" sets do to card values.

A lot of people complain because cards that are expensive like Tarmogoyf and Dark Confidant drop a lot in value because there is a greater supply.

 This mentality is plain wrong. You need to not look at what's losing, you need to look at what's gaining. When Vintage Masters was out the prices were sky high on Vintage (and some Legacy) staples that were not found in Vintage Masters.

My advice to you is to avoid the "mainstream" cards like Goyf and Bob and buy the cards that aren't expected to be in Modern Masters 2015. Then sell them when the set is on sale and the "Modern" craze is in full swing.

Then when the set goes off sale, buy them again.

I'm betting that it's going to be like wasteland (hit a peak of around $140 last summer) for cards that are staples but not in the set.

Then once Modern Masters goes off sale everyone will start on the "Return to Zendikar" craze and want to buy fetch lands again (they can't have Zendikar without Fetches, can they) and the entire cycle will mimic the prices of Vintage cards when VMA was out.
