Foil Jace, Vryn's Prodigy and Rattleclaw Mystic Speculation

Economics forum

Posted on Aug. 22, 2015, 1:02 a.m. by bburt17

Ok so I have a couple questions, first today at my LGS I pulled a foil Jace and traded it for 3 Deathmists. Was this the correct decision? I personally feel he can't go anYwhere but down. Also opinions on RattleClaw Mystic. I currently use them in my Naya deck and I got a promo one out of my LGS promo binder for going to FNM. Post rotation will this card see a large price spike? I mean no caryatid no Elvis mystic, the only other good mana maker I see is shaman of the forgotten ways. I would love all of your input!

Remember that Whisperer of the Wilds and Honored Hierarch are still going to be in standard. But I would think that Rattleclaw Mystic will stay where it is only because it's Temur colours. Unless they release something strong in those colours I doubt it will move.

The problems with those cards are that Honored Hierarch is only a decent turn 1 card and he can only tap for mana if he gets damage in which isn't going to be constant. Sure whisperer is a mana source that can tap for potentially two mana but usually RattleClaw is overall better at all points.When its faceup it can tap for 3 different colors and when flipped you get that extra mana to ramp into something yoy shouldn't be able to turn 4. That's either an early drop or anything cmc 5 or greater without having to already have a big creature out

Keep your Rattleclaw Mystics, especially your promos. Barring anything we get from BFZ, he will be the premier mana dork in Standard upon rotation.

Rattleclaw Mystic and all of Khans and fate will rotate upon the release of BFZ.

I don't thinks that's right, isn't m15 and Theros rotating first?
