Here are some noteworthy cards.
Wasteland
The most glaring omission of them all. What were they thinking?
When others assume that Wizards is just crazy, I often think they have things planned. Their plans might not be the best, but there are often plans. Alternate art exists and I think we will see Wasteland again quite soon. If nothing else, it could be a MOCS promo.
Rishadan Port
Does any deck actually play this? It is rare, for certain. If you need it, you should probably get it.
Misdirection
Interestingly reprinted in Conspiracy but not in VMA?
Daze
The most expensive Pauper card looks to retain that spot. Sees play in eternal formats other than Pauper as well.
Lotus Petal
This no longer sees any play in Pauper but it is still useful in the more powerful eternal formats.
Gaea's Cradle
This is the next MOCS promo. There is a window where you can get the MOCS promo for cheap. After that, this card will stay expensive and it is a card that we are guaranteed never to see in Standard.
Show and Tell & Sneak Attack
Interesting. There seems to be a pattern here. What if a Legacy Masters is planned down the line?
Mystical Tutor
Still cheap from the flashback drafts. Buy it now.
Onslaught Fetchlands
I would stay away from the Onslaught fetches. They are more likely to be reprinted for every day that passes, probably along with the Zendikar fetches.
City of Traitors
That is a lot of mana and there are not many copies available online.
Hey dan,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think is going on with the market right now? Prices are down.. with no modern PTQ season on MTGO, do you think modern is still gonna spike in June?
Any idea why Cabal Coffers (TOR) has crashed recently? It's not in VM as far as I know.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think Modern prices will be at their top during Modern PTQ season still as paper PTQ players need to test somewhere. But they will not be as high as they would have been if there was a real Modern PTQ season. The summer slump (prices always drop in June) is also affecting Modern this year. July should be the highest prices

ReplyDeleteCabal coffers is an uncommon and it was recently flashbacked. Flashbacked uncommons usually take a bigger hits than the rares (sometimes even a bigger hit than the commons as in this case). However, the huge drop for Cabal Coffers seems unmotivated. Its a great casual cards. I am picking them up, especially foils
ReplyDeleteAgreed completely, Dan. Another interesting point was that, after the Kamigawa flashback drafts, booster prices and most rares tanked (CHK boosters are 0.91 tix right now) yet Sensei's Divining Top didn't drop a cent and in fact increased during this time. There seems to be a lot people buying these out right now in anticipation of Vintage and I'd be surprised if the price did not go up further.
