Zendikar Expeditions Value
Economics forum

With pre-release coming this week, I was wondering what the tappedout community valued the Expeditions lands at? Obviously some will hold a large value than others (i.e. Sunken Hollow vs. Arid Mesa), but does everyone think some will hold value at the $100 range. For instance, I have an extra Liliana of the Veil and Fetch lands in my binder and was not sure if they were something I should give up for them? I was not sure if their value would also be affected by the quantity of BFZ being opened. This will also be my first pre-release so I am not entirely sure how to value cards from pre-sale value. I appreciate any insight. Thanks.
I would take one for the right deal ;) I was just wondering if they would hold the value of some of the more expensive modern and legacy cards. Basically, would they be as expensive as the alter art Ugin from the Fate Reforge release.

The expeditions won't be as rare as the alternate ugin, but most see more play, so long term, I think the shocks/fetches will be worth a lot. As they are as rare as a foil mythic, they will not be a whole bunch of them available. So I think the shocks will be $75-100 or so, and the fetches will be 150 and up. Tango lands not so much unless they see eternal play outside edh..but then again, edh foils can be high also.

expecting Zendikar expedition fetches to go for less than 200 for the non-blue ones and 300+ for the blue ones is Ludacris.
However, if you pull one at prerelease, you have 2 options:
- Sit on it for 3 years
- Sell/Trade immediately
For the next several years, the prices of these is as high as it will ever get.

Typically pre-release value on super hyped cards is more than what they'll settle at after release. However I've heard the rarity of these Expeditions are like uber mythic, as in only a few per case, so maybe one in 3-6 boxes.
Fetch lands will have long term stability, as will LoTV. If I pull an Expedition, I'll keep you in mind ;-)
