I was just wondering what everyone thinks are some good cards to pick up now while they're price is down. Obvious answers are shocks and fetches, but what else should I be looking for?
Frankly, everything. Prices are stagnant atm, and with the exception of reprints, it's only a matter of time before cards shoot up. The only cards I would suggest not buying yet is zendikar fetches, as the speculation of reprints are sooo high.
If your wanting an educated timeline, February 7th last year saw a lot of cards double in price. The importance of that date was the ban list update, which will be happening on January 20th this year. I highly recommend buying before that date.

Shocks, Abrupt Decay, Khans fetches, and Thoughtseize are all pretty good bets. Most other modern staples are pretty low right now as well, and I would expect most to go up in the future.

You should basically just buy format staples like kmcree said, because once they're out of print, they will go up in value quite a fair bit.

Shocks, Thoughtseize, Snapcaster are the cards I'm buying mainly.

Snapcaster Mage - Its only a matter of time before he spikes again and he sees plenty of play in all formats he is legal in.
There are other cards but I can't think of them right now. XP
