Is this a good deal?

I have a seller who is looking to get rid of 4x Scalding Tarn for $145.00. My questions are:

Is this a good deal?

and

Do you think Wizards will reprint these cards, thus making my hypothetical purchase worthless?

Thanks!

Only if your going to use them. If your buying to flip them no. And highly doubt wizards reprints zendikar fetches.

well scalding tarn goes for around $50 a piece so if they are real and in good condition go for it. i don't think they will reprint them if they do till return to ravnica leaves so you can't fetch a shock. and even if they do everyone will want them so the price probably won't change that much.

That's a very good deal right now. Scalding Tarn is currently approaching $50 and will most certainly go over.

Although wizards will definitely reprint fetchlands in the future, it won't be for another few years. When they do, the price is sure to drop, but you're safe for awhile.

Whether you're going to use them or not, you're looking at around $200+ in trade value. Lands are always useful.

True and they will reprint fetch lands haven't clarified which ones though.

WotC said two things recently:

1. The Drowned Catacomb cycle is too powerful in standard since we have Shocklands. No M14 duals.

2. Most modern decks use that cycle (checklands) and the fetchlands.

Do you honestly think that Wizards is going to cut a cycle they have been printing in core sets for a while because of power and then reprint stronger lands for standard?

Youre safe on the buy.

Lol it sounds like there are a number of people here who would buy them off me if I ended up having buyer's remorse. I think I'll end up taking the deal...

I would in a heart beat if I had the extra money.

99% sure they won't reprint fetches. Meh, I'd go for the trade. It seems fair.
