Now that it is spoiled, how low will it go down to? $10? $5?
To be fair, Goblin Guide has NOT been spoiled. It's not even confirmed that he is in the set. While I agree that it is very likely that GG will be in MM2015, we have zero information aside from an anonymous source.
That said, IF Goblin Guide is reprinted he'll probably drop a little. I could see $10, but not $5. This isn't a Standard legal set, and the boosters are $10 MSRP, which stores will probably sell around $13-$15. I bet he gets closer to $15, but $10 is the absolute lowest he'll go.

It's up on Mythicspoiler, who tend to not be wrong when it comes to what is and is not actually factually spoiled.

ThatJunkMage - The source in question came from MTG Salvation, not mythic spoiler, and I've seen mythic spoiler be wrong many times before. Even if they are becoming more accurate.
I won't believe it until I see it on the Wizards of the Coast website with the MM2015 set expansion symbol.

Okay. Goblin guide will go down to 15, maybe 10, perhaps even 8 for a bit. The current 20 pricetag is the result of a buyout. Over the summer, it was kicking at 10, as it had been for years. Buyout, skyrockets up to 30, falls down gradually, and the new surge of modern has kept it at 20. WHEN (not if) it gets reprinted, it will fall back to where it is. A hasty 2/2 for 1 is great, but only sees play in burn.

If the mythic list is true, MM2 will be sold out VERY fast. Of course there will be more on the market, but I don't think, that the price will fall that much. I guess, that it is going to be a 15$ card. More people will also get into modern with the MM2. Therefore, there will be a greater demand.

I think it will go back to the pre-spike price of 8-10 like it was a year ago and then over a year or 2 creep back to )$20 again. I'm gla I'm not the only one who is a little leery of the source of the spoilers.

I think that there is more product than wizards is letting on. If they say that there is a lot then people will immediately start talking about chronicles, and that isn't good for anyone. But I think that WotC learned that an increased supply actually increases demand, are are going to be a bit more generous with the printing.

mathimus55 I don't believe the spoiled list. Not enough draft filler to be real imo. But I do believe the guide will be printed. He's a staple in modern, goblin tribal (which along with merfolk is the oldest tribe, and let's face it: Magic: The Gathering has the best developed and most flavorful goblins of any fantasy), a casual hit, AND the target of one of the first massive buyouts. Hell, it even has a GP printing.
I'd bet that the guide will be in there. The guide, remand, urzatron lands, gitaxian probe, and hierarch are the ones I'm POSITIVE about.

Serendipitous_Hummingbird - It is confirmed that MM2015 will have a larger print run that MM, but it will still be limited.
Also, on the leaked "list" are a lot of cards I would have assumed are in there anyways. All the Eldrazi Titans, All Is Dust (which was all but confirmed via number crunch), and a few others make perfect sense for the product. If he's right, then he's a genius/insider. if he's wrong, he doesn't get too vilified due to the cards popularity.

The other thing to remember is that there is an unprecedented number of GPs with MMA2015. This means fewer boxes available to the public which, although it sucks for LGSs, means fewer people being booster boxes, which means higher cost of packs but FEWER PACKS IN THE HANDS OF SPECULATORS, which means the overall cost of the individual cards should better reflect the quantity printed.

I'm really hoping wizards had the sense to not take the GP weekend into account for their print run of mm15. Otherwise I agree, a large percentage of the set will be gone in the one weekend to a limited amount of people. I think they made sure the print run was done and then they made enough for the GP's after to make sure a good amount of the product is put in the players hands, not just the ones able to make it to the GP's

Depends on how bad people want it, how many copies come into the market, how well burn continues to do in the upcoming months, and whether or not modern masters 2.0 packs are really as flammable as everyone says they are.
