Goblin Guide - Sell or wait?

Goblin Guides are somewhere between 25-35 now. Should I see if they go even higher or sell before they drop?
I'll hold on to them then. I can't believe I got them for $5 each.

I'm mad I traded them at $25. I figured they surely wouldn't go up any more...Shows what I know

They can be hard to come by. Only thing that will drop the price of Goblin Guide is a reprint. If it doesn't see a reprint in BfZ it almost safe to say it won't get reprinted.

There's no way it's seeing a reprint in BfZ. There already is a critical mass of good red creatures, and goblin guide was too powerful to begin with.

Agreed. No way it can get reprinted. That would push Mono Red to nigh unbeatable in Standard.

Well, it wouldn't really do that. What it would do is force everyone to either play mono-red to try and win the mirror, or just play Languish as a four of with Drown in Sorrow backup. Would just warp the format too much.

I mean, Goblin Guide would be in the same standard as Goblin Piledriver but miss Goblin Rabblemaster. It could be fine, but it's probably too high of a powerlevel that R&D wants for Standard.

Well Goblin Guide won't be in standard with Drown in Sorrow, even with a BFZ reprint. Or Goblin Rabblemaster and Stoke the Flames. I'm not a big standard player right now, but keep the rotation in mind in terms of reprints making decks "too good."

So happy I got my play set for 18 bucks a few weeks ago.

If Goblins wins an IQ, PPTQ or if somehow, someone on the Pro Tour Top 8's with Goblins, you better believe these suckers are going $50+. I'm snatching these up wherever I can.
