Any chance Hypergenesis follows suit?
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
Scroll Rack can't possibly maintain this price tag, right?
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
Surprised there's been no mention of the Helvault foil goodies yet. With incredibly scarce, known quantities, where will the foil angel/demon token and foil oversized cards end at? Perhaps in the...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
The thing with Dual Lands is, everyone's willing to trade for them but it's so hard to find others who will trade them to me. I had to offer decent value and trade away 2 Forces and a Goyf as part...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I'm waiting patiently for the opportunity to convert a full set of 40 SP/NM duals for a set of power. I wonder if that will ever be possible. Maybe sans the lotus?
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I'm equally shocked about Force of Will. It was down to like 40 bucks for the longest time, and now Channel Fireball buys them for 50 bucks!!! SCG selling them at 60$ and are "out of stock". Have...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I recently traded a minty Sea for Jace, TMS + a Japanese BB Swords to Plowshares + half dozen other random throw-ins. While they may sell for 70$ cash, people will give more in trade because it's...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Ok, thanks for the perspective. I'll keep an eye out for good deals on ebay, then. It will all come down to patience. I wonder if power will drop further or if it'll stabilize...gosh I feel like...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Is it just me, or has the price of power recently rebounded a little bit? I picked up a Mox Sapphire and Mox Ruby a month or so ago each for about 265$ (MP condition). Now I can't seem to find any...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
When I want Legacy staples such as these, I always default to ebay. I've consistently gotten the best price there. The other option to consider is cardshark.com. I like their site too, because it...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I am not arguing your point that Mind Twist will be useless in Legacy. I'm simply saying that it'll get a good jolt to its value for the short run. Everyone will want their playset. Remember, Mind...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
What good Legcy decks run Grim Monolith? I have yet to see one have a strong showing. Yet, those would have been a tremendous investment. One thing we've learned from the recent unbannings is that...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Honestly, no. This happened with Grim Monolith, Illusionary Mask (which NO ONE thought would be good), and now Time Spiral. This trend will continue. In fact, I may go as far as to say that as B/R...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
You do make a valid point. Force of Will is a great tool to counter Time Spiral. Three things come to mind, however:
1) Force of Will is already expensive and played a ton; will this really...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
It's very obvious that Time Spiral will now be priced ridiculously (darn price gouging). What I'm trying to do now is speculate what other cards benefit from the change. Meditate? Brain Freeze? ...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
But what if Wizards does ultimately create an Over-Extended format? I know that was originally just a rumor, and it doesn't look like it will come to fruition this year or the next. But 3, 4, or...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Very true. But that is where using ebay smartly could come in handy. For example, we could sell Jace's easily on ebay without any issues. Then we could wait patiently and purchase power (maybe a...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
So are you implying I should sell my Jace's and buy power? Number one rule in economics (according to some) is to buy low and sell high. So I can sell my Jace's at 80$ each and buy unlimited P9 for...
