Short version: Its the summer slump. Very soon interest will switch to Vintage Masters and M15. Be sure to pick up all the Theros block cards you need for play in september AND all the cards you want to speculate on.
This was the time you could pick up Jace, Architect of Thought at 14 a year ago and then sell it six months later for 38.
...until you realize that the gods have been nerfed beyond belief in JOU, devotion is basically a dead end, and besides a few chase mythics (Elspeth, Brimaz, Stormbreath, Polukranos) there isn't really anything that good in the entire block. Courser and Thoughtseize are some of the few rares I see having any lasting value.
ReplyDeleteEven if the block is subpar (which I don't argue with, I haven't played it) only its relative strength to Khans of Targir matter as it will still make up half of standard for the next block
