Maybe some people are playing No Banlist Modern and are enjoying the fun of Hypergenesis? That's the only deck I can think of that run him.

With the Urabrask the Hidden, it could be brought out turn 3 with the new red vessel enchantment.

Huh. I didn't think about that. That's pretty cool, addaff. Makes me want to brew him for EDH. He's my favorite of the Praetors anyways. Lol

Kalastria Highborn is up to $5+. Probably because of Innistrad Vamps coming around.

What are everyone's thoughts on how the new Avacyn's price will change (ie when is the right time to buy one)?

When she rotates out.
OR
A few weeks before Eldritch Moon.

When people realize that she's not as good as she seems.

Femme_Fatale says... #9
I think she is bonkers for Junk and maybe Mardu midrange. Like, as a 1 or 2 of. Keep in mind that that won't affect her price all that much, and SOI will be heavily opened and there will not be anything over $10 in the long run. Her stats of being 5 mana and legendary makes her not appear in a lot of decks nor in high numbers.

Daedalus19876 says... #10
FAMOUSWATERMELON: That's my perspective as well, but I'm afraid I'll be wrong and she'll go UP instead...
You see, I need one for my new EDH deck (Judgment Day: Avacyn the Purifier EDH), so I'm more talking about when she's cheapest in the next few weeks. Thoughts on the short-term?

I'm not sure how I feel about Nahiri, the Harbinger's chances. It seems like a solid enough card, but I'm not sure if it will find a home in Standard (or anywhere else besides EDH, for that matter). I don't want to preorder it now and have it be half the price it is now a month down the line, and then I'll be sad because I could've waited and got myself like a The Gitrog Monster or something with that money.
I overthink things sometimes. Lol

Femme_Fatale says... #12
Nahiri will go down. She's only good for enabling madness. I don't think there will be a white madness interaction. Her Ult is really lame too, as it requires you to build around it, and if you draw her ult target, it does nothing.
March 29, 2016 1:27 p.m.
Daedalus19876 says... #13
Nahiri also has very little coherency between her abilities - I just don't like her design overall, and there aren't many good targets for her ultimate in limited. I think she'll be like the new Tibalt, and thus have a very low price.

Squandered Resources went up due to the Gitrog Monster hype. Not sure about Pendrell Mists.
March 31, 2016 8:06 a.m.
MythicMtgTech just suggested getting Pendrell Mists for commander as a replacement for tabernacle. Also it's on the reserve list.
March 31, 2016 8:14 a.m.
Check out that Westvale Abbey Flip! I sure hope the one I pre-ordered for 3$ doesn't get "Sorry we ran out of stock"ed LoL As you scroll over the card it still says 4.65, but it's currently going for about 20$

What the hell happened to Creeping Tar Pit? Wasn't that card under ten not long ago?
April 2, 2016 5:12 p.m.
Well, someone rocked your world then, VampireArmy.
In other news, Archangel of Tithes has hit the $12 mark according to MTGStocks.
April 2, 2016 9:31 p.m.
PistonGolem says... #25
I look at my copy of Archangel of Tithes that I didn't want to sell because I was used to it being 6 dollars YEEEEEEE!

Holy hell guys why is Epiphany at the Drownyard foil $10? It sucks! Not that I'm complaining, I pulled it at a prerelease, but I just lumped it with the other junk until I saw it's price on another thread.
So, question is: sell now, or wait? I can't see it going up, but it's possible.
April 3, 2016 8:53 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #27
amazingdan not sure if this is the right thread to be discussing whether you should keep or sell, but I'd definitely get rid of that.
Similarly, Cryptolith Rite
foil is stupid expensive for what seems like a bad card. It was my prerelease promo.
April 3, 2016 8:55 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #28
EDH appeal is the best I can think of. All your creatures help you ramp and colour fix to whatever 6+ cmc card you have in your hand. Presumably an X spell.
April 3, 2016 9:05 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd Cryptolyth is auto include in Jeskai combo and it's stupid. Like consistent T3-4 wins.
April 3, 2016 9:05 p.m. Edited.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #30
DrFunk27 in standard, I assume? I know this isn't the right forum, but do you think it's going up or down in price?
April 3, 2016 9:24 p.m.
No, in modern. It's the Turn 2 play into T3 Ascendancy.
April 3, 2016 9:35 p.m.
brokendwarf says... #33
TCG has Ancestral Vision up to 60, Sword of the Meek up to 28, and Thopter Foundry up to 9.
April 4, 2016 1:23 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #34
For some reason, SCG has Steam Vents up to $25/$20 per edition. TCG has them at $18/$15.
April 4, 2016 1:33 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #36
Ancestral Vision certainly won't settle down. It was $22 before this announcement. It's only going to get higher. The others yeah, I only see them appearing in Lantern Control.
April 4, 2016 2:17 p.m.
GeminiSpartanX says... #37
I traded my Ancestral Vision away over a year ago when it was $12 since I thought it would never get unbanned in Modern. Sad day for me today :(
April 4, 2016 2:21 p.m.
I should clarify yeah, foundry and sword will settle. They're uncommons. Vision unfortunately will maintain a $50+ tag until it's reprinted. EMA?
April 4, 2016 2:23 p.m.
brokendwarf says... #39
I traded off my AEther Vial a couple months ago for a Time Spiral Ancestral Vision, old FNM Path to Exile, and some other good stuff.

Dalektable says... #40
Jesus Christ, please let Sword of the Meek and Thopter Foundry stabilize back down, as well as Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. I've been waiting for this unban since I discovered the combo, I want this deck more than anything.
April 4, 2016 3:34 p.m.
Tezzeret has been $15 for years. If anything, he will go up.
April 4, 2016 3:38 p.m.
And yup. Tezzeret sitting around $40. Well. That was quick. lol
April 4, 2016 4:48 p.m.

fluffybunnypants Thopter Foundry and Sword in Lantern Control. It's a new way to apply pressure without diluting the deck. Could work.
April 5, 2016 11:33 a.m.
Everybody wants to make Tezzerator. Somebody is going to do it. And do it well for Pro Tour. They're going to place and all your dreams of stabilized prices will go out the window.
Good luck with that.
April 5, 2016 11:44 a.m.
Servo_Token says... #46
Yes, they're going to take tezzerator to the standard pro tour. You heard it here first.
April 5, 2016 11:48 a.m.
Lantern Control is just gonna get bigger, oh no. Runs away in fear
April 5, 2016 2:34 p.m.
fluffybunnypants says... #49
It's really the "only" part that I found weird.
Servo_Token says... #1
There is that All in Red deck in legacy that can afford this dude. They usually play infernal titan and stuff, but this seems a lot better at making you not die
