how much do you think the reprinted fetch lands will go up in price and how soon?

I am sure their value will increase greatly and I would like to hear predictions.
Give it some time post rotation. Once they rotate out and stay gone for a solid year or so they will surely see a price spike

Yeah.. we have to wait for them to rotate out of standard. Right when they rotate they'll be as cheap as shock lands are now. Then maybe a year to return to $30 each.

They're going to go down whilst in standard and then slowly rise to ridiculous prices after rotation but that won't be for a long, long time.

Why do these questions keep coming up? Every card fluctuates in price during it's time in standard based on how much play they do or don't see at any given time. Then, after rotation, cards that have value to other formats slowly rise over time. We're only 1 set into the block and there's going to be another 5 sets released before they rotate. Only the people who work for WoTC know what cards are yet to be released and how they'll effect the standard environment. Without that knowledge there's no way to know for sure what their (or any other cards) price will settle at during their time in standard. They obviously have value in other formats and are playable in Modern, Legacy, Vintage, and EDH so after rotation (still almost 2 years away) their price will slowly rise up, which is something everyone knew the second they were spoiled and before the set was ever released. The way supply and demand (probably the greatest factor in determining a cards price) works hasn't changed since the set was released, so why would the answer be any different now than it was then (or any of the other million times this question has been asked)?

Up, up, and away! See reprints of Cryptic Command , Dark Confidant , Vendilion Clique , etc. They are worth as much and their original counterparts. Thoughtseize is also on the rise again and when printing stops it will see a huge raise in price. Fetches will do the same. In the long run it won't matter if it was a limited printing set or a standard block set fetches are nothing but value.

Fetches won't see $15+ until KTK rotates out. By December most, if not all, Onslaught Fetches will be less than $10. They've already hit sub $10 MTGO.

DrFunk27, I don't play MTGO. Does the price of MTGO cards correlate with paper copies usually? I never really thought about it

abenz419, did you know some people are new to MtG and have limited knowledge of Modern, Legacy, etc. Also, some only play certain formats and ignore others. If these questions boil your blood so much avoid those threads. No need to post such a long condescending rant when it's very possible some of the posters in the thread are unaware that Fetches are insanely in demand for Modern and Legacy. Breathe and move on if your contribution is going to be negative or spurning to the poster.

I'm sorry, If my condescending tone bothers you then maybe you should ignore it, breath, and move on. Especially when it's very possible that the poster failed to use common sense and didn't do a search on the topic before posting.

Actually it has nothing to do with a lack of common sense,if you read the actual post I say I'm sure that they will go up after time,I was just curious to see what peoples predictions regarding the aforementioned topic. I wanted to know if what I thought was also the general consensus among others and I was right,you cant necessarily look up peoples opinions on google if they have yet to give them.

No, but I think that abenz419's point was that you can look up people's opinions here, on the dozens of other threads on fetches.
