Why has Courser of Kruphix
taken a $4 price drop? Top 8 lists look the same as they have been, did something in M15 make it less playable? Is it the release of the $30 clash pack that includes one?
They probly werent going at their old price so they dropped...plus the clash packs

Everyone thought he'd crash massively and I was like lol. According to scg he's still $15 and tcg has him at like $13.50 or something. Doesn't look like a fall. He'll only fall temporarily anyway, as I said before.

Once mono green takes over top 8 lists he will see $20 easy I think

Courser of Kruphix is a lady...
Regardless of gender, however, I believe that this is just a splash in the long term. Standard and modern decks will still be clamoring for this card, and in a few months, it'll be back up to the $20 range. I'd say buy in now because it'll only be going up.

Card has a lot of support in modern & standard so grab them now if u need them.
July 18, 2014 10:27 a.m.
I'm glad I have my play set to use now, but I may want to grab more for resale

I don't think that you should pick any up for resale unless you're getting more than 30 and can move that many. The benefit really isn't big enough to casually carry that kind of material on you.
Basically, only pick up what you know you can move in three weeks.

Have they released a date for the clash packs yet? Or am I just super late and they already came out?

They came out today.
All event decks / clash packs are scheduled to come out with the rest of the set on release day.

Oh god yes!!! Thanks ThatBlueMage! And one sec, im gonna go to the store...
July 18, 2014 11:04 a.m.
Will Clash Packs be available at retailers like Target? Or only at LGS's? I'm trying to avoid the markup. Lol

They should be sold wherever event decks are sold, as they're essentially replacing that product, though they're also replacing the battle packs that we used to get, so I don't know. I guess we'll wait for TheGamer to get back and tell us. :P

EmblemMan - a $3-$4 decrease that'll last for less than a few months. Yeh real impactful.
July 18, 2014 11:25 a.m.
Hell end up being like $5-$8 in the long run...unless the clash packs really destroy him. Minimum of $2 and change no matter what though.

You do realise that he's a modern staple in jund decks as a 3-4 of, right?
He gets at least half of his value from there alone. Post theros rotation, I don't see him being anything less than $10. That's also a year from now though, so there's really no use worrying about his long term price now.
July 18, 2014 11:51 a.m.
Does it seem to anyone else like Jund is the most ever changing Modern deck archetype? I mean, I get it, they keep banning cards that Jund uses so people play other decks, but it seems like its just always swapping cards anymore. It used to run Huntmaster of the Fells Flip , what happened there? He wasn't banned.
July 18, 2014 11:58 a.m.
I understand he gets a lot of play in modern...which means when he eventually rotates out he will see a price drop while people sell them off and then a price boost when all the modern players nab them up. So for now the clash packs are going to drop the price down, followed by another drop near rotation, leaving the price really low. Then finally the modern players will eat them up and balance it out around 5-8. Really its difficult to predict card to card anyways. Who knows what is going to come out that all but replaces Courser in the future. It isn't an overwhelmingly good card, but it is played as 3 and 4 ofs so I think 5-8 is reasonable.

Okay guys... ThatBlueMageand kmcree: I got it at target, but the cards were damaged! The corners were bent and pretty messed up along with the sides. The backs of the Gruul deck actually looked like older cards!
that just mine, hope you all got better conditioned cards...
July 18, 2014 12:28 p.m.
That's pretty lame. You should try taking it back. I'm not sure if they would accept it, but theoretically if it was damaged before you even opened it they should allow you to exchange it for a new one.
July 18, 2014 12:35 p.m.
I would post some ThatBlueMage, if I was good at html.
Yeah, it REALLY sucks kmcree. The only thing im happy about is the fact a lot of the promos and money stuff are going into decks with sleeves anyway so I wont even notice.
July 18, 2014 12:36 p.m.
Also, they aren't Terribly damaged, just it pisses me off when the cards have bent up little corners, u know?

DarkHero he's not overwhelmingly good until you mix him up with Dark Confidant and Verdant Catacombs then he just gets ridiculous.
He's essentially Deathrite Shaman (though not as good) He helps with mana, heals, and can potentially do 2 damage each round.

I bought a Commander pre con from Walmart once and all the cards had a huge crease down the center. They exchanged it for me no problem
Do you think the Clash Pack is worth the $30?

capriom85: Huntmaster of the Fells Flip doesn't suit the current deck well, not the easiest to flip, plus Anger of the Gods is main. Jund isn't as explosive as it used to be, it is slightly more controlling and relies on more removal and wipe to operate.
Courser of Kruphix fills the lifegain slot, but more importantly it filters your land draws (always play the land off the top so you can lili a land in hand) so that you draw more potent cards.

Makes sense. I don't play modern because I am not in position to spend the money to do so and I also have zero modern players at my shop. Its pretty much EDH or Standard.
July 19, 2014 10:48 a.m.
Wow, 0 modern players capriom85?? That's really weird.
July 19, 2014 11:41 p.m.
TheGamer, a lot of the people at my shop are high school kids that have not a lot of money. Standard just has easier access to what they need.
July 20, 2014 9:31 a.m.
Yea, it's a little disappointing but I sold my modern collection a few months ago anyway. Being an adult sucks...haha
