Cavern of Souls: buy now or wait?
Economics forum

I need a Cavern of Souls, because I'm a scrub and didn't pick one up back when it was $20.
So my question is: is Cavern going to continue rising (in which case I should buy it now) or will it hold and eventually drop back down? I'm going to have to buy one eventually but I'd rather not drop $50 on one if it's going to go back down.
Itll go down to 40 maybe 30 but that will take a while it just depends on when the decks that play it stop being played. If you want one by the end of the year I would just buy one now

If Modern Goblins becomes a thing with the Goblin Piledriver reprint, it could soar in price. Not to mention that Shaman of the Pack will probably cement Modern Elves as a powerhouse. It's likely to go up in price pretty soon and could stay high for some time.

I don't think I'm playing standard this go around because of Goblin Piledriver, lol. But yeah, I'd buy now because you don't know when or if it'll go back down.

Pick one up now if you need it. It's unlikely to see a reprint unless BFZ somehow really wants to push tribals as a thing.

Magic is in "modern season" right now because it's summer so unless something forces its price to go up, like the aforementioned goblins and elves decks, I would personally wait until mid to late fall. With that being said, if you do wait, keep a close eye on the modern decks that are being played.

I'd wait. It can be printed in just about any set since it's not specfic to any lore, but I don't follow that stuff. But who knows when it could be reprinted. If you need it now, then you should get it. I recently traded mine away and have mixed feelings about it, but I needed a Bob more than a Cavern.

I do think it's a very reprintable card. I don't see it likely in bfz, I doubt tribal will exist enough to justify printing it, so its price is probably safe for a while, but not going to stay there forever.

I could see Wizards doing a tribal themed Commander pre con thing at some point and possibly putting Cavern of Souls in one or all of them. But they might not do that since it's too expensive to put in a pre con since that would only drive prices up.

ThisIsBullshit ~ I'm of the opinion that Goblin Piledriver and the new elves WILL see play in modern and as such people will be looking for Cavern of Souls.
I have no idea how quickly it will rise but I firmly believe it will rise. If you need it for sure, get it now. Just my 2 cents

I totally think it will rise with piledriver and elves, but I'm pretty convinced also that it won't stay there forever, it's way too easy to reprint to never come back.

It's the height of Modern season right now, and it just spiked.
Give it a few months and it'll drop.

I'd personally buy now. It's an extremely good land and I don't see it coming back down, and I don't really expect it to be reprinted. For that, I'd definitely buy one.
