Tasigur, the Golden Fang: This card will rise. Is used in Modern and Legacy, and can be a house in EDH as well. Foils especially will become very valuable down the line.

I think this would belong in Economics, but I'm not sure... ChiefBell?
I think Abrupt Decay will go up slowly... It's played in a LOT of formats, and is incredibly efficient, not to mention uncounterable...

Personally I think Fetchlands are only good as a very long time investment, like 3+ years. There are so many KTK boosters opened and there are so many people speculating with cards that I bet the market will be (over)saturated for a very long time. Simply because Fetchlands are the safest and most obvious choice for speculating. They see heavy use in all formats and it's unlikely they'll ever get replaced by something that is strictly better. And they certainly won't get banned.
Just look at the Shocklands for comparison, most of them are worth less than when they were still (re)printed, even though the sets that had them are more than 2 years old already.
So maybe if Fetchlands don't get reprinted again they will start to slowly rise in 3+ years, but I doubt you can make any profit with them worth mentioning before 2018 if you buy now.

I think Tarmogoyf will go up. Even a reprint won't bring him below 100

Temporal TrespassFate ReforgedMythic RareI think this card will go up in price because it is used in EDH and an extra turn for UUU is very useful late game.
