Are fetches to go up?
Economics forum

I am considering buying some fetches for my deck. I want to know if it is a good time to do so or if I should wait for later. Thanks in advance!
Until that happens though they'll do nothing but go up, so when they do drop back down they may just be dropping back down to where they are now. Also, while it has been said that they will eventually be reprinted, when that news came out the new Khans block had already been designed so it's basically a guarantee that they won't be in the new sets. That means it's going to be, at the earliest, another year before they're reprinted. If you need them, get them now because there is no guarantee when they will be reprinted.

The blue ZEN fetches did hit $100 not long ago, but they've since declined. I think they'll stabilize near where they currently are until the reprint.

I don't know, If modern is really becoming as popular as a lot of people in these forums would lead you to believe (mostly because wizards is trying to promote the modern format with reprints and things like modern masters), then there are still plenty of people who will need, or currently do need, these cards. Demand won't fall and supply isn't going to increase until a reprint happens. Even if they stabilize for a few months, I could easily see these things jumping back up when people start preparing for modern season next year. Similar to the way prices jumped on lots of staples earlier this year. Give our take a couple of bucks, your most likely not going to find them any cheaper than they are now, at least not until a reprint happens. And like i mentioned earlier, depending on how long it is before they see a reprint, a price drop could simply mean a return to the price they're currently are now.

All we can guarantee is that fetches will absolutely not see a reprint while the shock lands are in Standard. Outside of that, we have little to go on. We may see something as early as Khans, or it may take five blocks from now. We don't really know.
I'll agree that it's likely prices will continue to fluctuate per seasonal hype/demand as long as reprints have not been spoiled, but I think the current prices are the pre-reprint floor.

I would say that it depends on how badly you need them. WotC has heavily implied that they will be reprinting them in the near future. They will definitely go down in price when this happens.
