Shaman price, down?

Economics forum

My question is, will Shaman of Forgotten Ways keep dropping in price? I'd like a play set for casual reasons and was wondering if I should wait for em to tank. They seem like they aren't played a lot and only in standard. What do you all think?

It was up because it showed potential, but now it's not really getting a lot of play, because of the formidable triggerThey aren't so bad of a price now, if you want to spend under twenty for a playset. But imo I think one only needs 2-3. This card will get broken eventually. It's all about finding out when.

So you think it'll go back up?

I don't want to spend what they cost now, and I do want a set. I hope they drop ; )

Because it's a mythic, they likely won't drop. This guy might even go up once rotation hits if we need lots of ramp for Eldrazi beatdown decks. I'd just get them now while you can find them for 4ish dollars.

Seems legit. Good point.

Rotation will probably bring this card's playability, and therefore price, up. Eldrazi ramp applications have already been mentioned. I also think that, since it's a viable target for Collected Company, it could fit well in rampy midrange builds that want to accelerate into multiple beefy creatures. This is sort of what I'm expecting some Temur builds to be like.

I think they'll drop. Name 1 deck that would run it?

Collected Company-type decks that want mid-game ramp options?

I mean non standard.

Once Courser of Kruphix rotates, he'll be the premier 3 drop mana fixer, so I'd suggest getting them now.

Thanks for the input everyone.

What do you guys think about after he rotates out of standard? Will he drop then?

Oh yeah. Maybe in some fun Green EDH decks he will see play. but that's about it. He will drop post rotation.
