When the fuck did Chains of Mephistopheles become a $400 card?
Well gentlemen, it's been a pleasure, but I think I'm out. Volcanic Island and Underground Sea have crept up to $300 on the retail end, Force of Will is ~$100 and creeping upward, and Wasteland is...
I think the obvious end result of all this is that WotC will discontinue Modern as a Pro Tour format. They will probably still have the odd GP like they do with Legacy, but this experiment has failed...
Nothing fishy going on with Mana Crypt at all if you understand how a lot of EDH players operate. The diehard players build an insane amount of decks - some 20+ and many consider Mana Crypt to be an...
Tcgplayer just glitched on the price. Afaik they're still about $10-12.
Because it's the only foil version of Demonic Tutor that exists, and Demonic Tutor goes into pretty much every black Vintage and EDH deck ever?
It only started being opened so much after it went out of print. World wake got shorted a print run because initial sales were so low.
I'm not so sure about that. WotC seems to have an aversion to reprinting super expensive cards outside of promos. With Polluted Delta creeping up near $100 I highly doubt they will pull the trigger...
That's not at all what I'm talking about. I'm questioning the long-term sustainability of WotC's current player retention model. Sure they've got acquisition down for the moment, but sometime soon...
So, at this point it is pretty evident that MTG has become some kind of evil, bastard child of the financial sector. There are multiple sites dedicated to speculative trading, Forbes has a regular...

Most blatant price hike I've ever seen. Honestly I'm sick of this kind of shit.
This weekend the price of Firestorm jumped to $40 on-site. I don't think that will be the settled price, but it will be far more than the $10ish it has been for a while.
What the everloving fuck.
Does anything even play that card??
It's a combination of hype from Modern and a small number of people collecting them in bulk.
Those people are doing it wrong. Snapcaster is actually only supremely good in a very few decks where it can recur removal and card draw spells. RG decks splashing for it would honestly be better off...
100% true story. It was probably 1996 or 1997, some guy waltzes into the card game room in the middle of a Magic tournament, holds up a Black Lotus, smothers it in mustard, and chows down on it in...
The same kind of person who would eat one with mustard at Gen-con.
We used to do Ironman tournaments at one of the now-defunct game stores in my hometown, only any time anything went to the graveyard for any reason it was destroyed. I remember this one guy had a...
Won't be too bad since it will be in print. Korean foil might be a lot, though.
Vendilion Clique is at $30+? Is this real life?
Ha! I wonder how long before EDH actually prices its target demographic out of the format...
Looks like we have a genuine bubble at this point. Modern isn't even officially a paper format and people are speculating on it. I'm going to laugh when WotC decides to keep it online only and...
This thread is now about laser-shooting eye-dicks.
Even if he is cutting them himself, is there anything wrong with that? They are real cards, made by WotC. As long as the dimensions are right and the corners don't distinguish them from other cards,...
You've got your logic all backwards. You're making a claim, which is that The Abyss is an amazing card in the current metagame. The onus is on you to provide empirical evidence to support that claim,...
