Mana Confluence just dropped to a $12-$10 range from $17. Should I buy it now with tri-color being out and its price possibly raising again or wait for it to drop more, if it will?
yea I don't see it holding. People only pay life for mana if they really really need to. Fetchlands have knocked them down a lot and eventually it won't see any play at all really.

I currently have them and don't play them in my Mardu deck. It's built more for the mid-late game though and so I can get by with more tapped lands than say an aggro deck which may want them. They're pretty good in edh though. The one life is less relevant and it's an untapped land that produces any color.

It certainly has value, its just shouldn't be worth much more than City of Brass which sits around $4.00 and prior to Mana Confluence's printing was around $6 or $7? That sounds about right.

Also keep in mind, that price was in a market where fetchlands were hugely expensive, and now that they have been reprinted their value will be cheaper which will hurt Mana Confluence

there's also how many different printings of City of Brass and only one of Mana Confluence

I would expect it to drop more. Once its out of Standard its benefits over City of Brass is pretty negligible and certainly not worth the current premium.
