I think the best guess in that regards can be made looking at more fringe vintage cards which sure had no surge in demand, but still climbed like Library of Alexandria.

I guess price memory,...

Price speculation is a thing. Every major upshake was followed by buyouts so far. I don't think that prices go anywhere but up until the dust settled

Nothing, because a) price memory and b) us not knowing where the meta wents from there.

I predict that Tundra & Tropical will skyrocket now with Hierarch into TNN being already a thing and gaining...

I just picked out these two paragraphs, to talk about perception of the formats health. I don't think that attendance at the biggest tournament of the year on certain continents fit to gauge the...

Maybe I go too far, but one could also make a point about Juzaam and the pseudo reprint which the 2BB 5/5 Sliver was. Regardless, we agree on the base topic.



Would you allow me to go one step...

That's the difference between people who look at Lotus & Co as a collectible and the players who just want a tournament legal card no matter how it looks.

I don't think that reprinting shitty ass...

Isn't the whole "500$ per card" somewhat of strawman in regards to stuff like Power or Tabernacle, if the core question actually is, how the fuck some 2k$ Decks should actually be able to compete...

The sad thing for me is that Eternal has become more of a Collectors/Investors Game than one for actual players.

I am at the point of being straight unwilling to shell out a grand for merely...

I don't see how duals being 5 bucks (just as example) would drive players away given that everyone could afford enjoying the format and play with many different decks without having to dump 5 grand...

At least Nintendo does now.

My little joke earlier aside, the format suffers from the buyouts for much longer. 200$+ for the likes of LEDs, Mox Diamonds, City of traitors and such already act as gatekeepers for people witz...

Maybe because Revised Duals ARE Reserved List cards?

This was the incident which initiated the whole "Spirit of the RL" nonsense, after the people of TheManaDrain made a buzz about Reverberate/Fork on Twitter.

Buy a booster box of Arabian Nights.

The Beauty of these old expansion sets is that EVERY Rare is in EVERY booster box ONCE. Back then you bought 4 boxes and had your playsets of every Rare.

They are, because you didn't mention karat

Wasn't effective. Mox Diamond and Cradle just show with how little copies/investment one can flip the market price upside down. LED is far too reasonable still for the current price spiral. Yet.

Soooooo ... foil Mox Diamond jumped from 120€ to 500$ overnight thanks to a buyout of less than a dozen on TCG it seems. Ridiculous.

I guess I will put aside ~16 grand and buy up all LEDs this...

Seasons have no meaning for them, if they never leave their moms basement

With about 85% of new cards having the word "creature" printed on them and 80% of all mechanics being a kicker-variant, the game is stagnant for years.

LOL ... let them try to sell that shit for that money. We have seen 60€ foil pyro-/hydroblasts after their release too

Its outright ridiculous that some argue from an investment perspective as if investing into into a game which can reprint your "currency" at any time, is a smart business.

Go to the stock market...

This is totally ridiculous, dood. The whole fucking Standard format is build on chase rares/mythics which are worthless 5 years later and people still pay absurd prices to get them.

No problem dood.

Because the movie isn't yet available as illegal download in decent quality and you want to see it asap?

Ob god, this would end up like all the Twlight, iZombie and other I-love-an-Undead Teenager Movies. As if Jace isn't enough Robert Pattinson already...
