Price Speculations?

What cards from Theros will go up in price? I don't have a lot of money to spend, and I was suggested to try and predict which cards will shoot up in price and get them while they're low. So, which cards are most likely to increase in price (I know that born of the gods isn't completely released, but what do you guys think will go up the most-preferably cards that are under $5 right now). So far, I've heard that Swan Song and possibly Reaper of the Wilds will go up.
I think Fleecemane Lion
will go up in price because I do believe that I read the G/W scryland will be in the next set so I think selesnya decks will start to see even more play. I also think that with the introduction of the Demi-Gods there might be some more dual colored decks (compared to the mostly mono colored decks that splash a small amount of something else) so maybe Soldier of the Pantheon
will raise in price. Reaper of the Wilds
is another card I feel like could rise in price, but the G/B scryland isn't going to be in the next set, so it may not be till the third set is released that it sees as much play as I feel like it should.

I agree with abenz, after I get my Christmas money ill be getting a playset of Lions, 3 more Reapers to finish my set, ill look at Soldiers, and ill be looking into other green goodies, I'm still staying away from Voices though, way too much money to gamble on haha

I would guess that U/W, G/W, and B/R would all see an immediate increase as they would now have shocks and scrylands available to those colors, as far as how strong they'll be or how long the new decks last, I couldn't say.

Wait, seriously? I thought they were releasing the rest of the scry lands in this set? As an Izzet enthusiast, I hate this.

no I believe it was spoiled early on after the thero's release that they were going to split up the last 5 scrylands. Then recently the U/W, G/W, and B/R scrylands were spoiled. I guess nothing is technically official yet, but since (like I said) it was kind of spoiled that they were going to split them up and only 3 more lands have been (unofficially) spoiled then the belief is that's how it's going to be.

Ima try to get my playset of Reapers after Christmas, and I feel that the only iteration of Swan Song worth collecting would be foils. I am also looking into getting sets of Selesnya stuff just in case Selesnya sees a rise in playability.
