This may be a shot in the dark, but I have a sneaking suspicion about Halls of Mist. I don't think it'll skyrocket, but it's one of those R.L. cards that has potential to spike a little.

Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
I actually laughed myself out of my chair with tears in my eyes. What a joke.
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
Am I missing something here, or have Wastelands actually dropped in price? Last time I checked, they were northwards of $130.00 a piece. Star City has them now even MP at $79.99.
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
That's an egregious statement, at best.
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
Thank you for clearing that up to him; it's not that hard to read between the lines and most of what the guy said is baffling. This isn't rocket science: SCG has an agenda, and it's rather stale in...
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
I just find myself anchored to a time where the game used to be fun - and I think you can be creative and have fun at the same time. I would much rather see a Didgeridoo on the board churning out...
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
But see, therein lies the problem: Bias. Star City Games is biased when it comes to their choices as to what and who they put on camera. A lot of that has to do with the exact reasons you mentioned,...
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
It's not the "Deck Tech" so much as the price increase on Ichorids lately. I mean, how many times does a deck need to be featured over and over again?
It just seems egregious that, no matter the...
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
The Open Series is their own personal playground to harvest inbred talent, bias their matches and find a way to heavily influence the secondary market. They can deny it all they want. But it's an...
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
Coincidence that the SS...er, Star City Games decided to do a Deck Tech on Dredge - an archetype that has existed for years?
Simple: They know it's reasonably cheap to build. So, let's get that...
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
I'm honestly getting sick and fucking tired of the prices on cards jacking up the way they have. It actually pisses me off to no end.
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
/Ignorance. Way to go on comparing two functionally different cards.
@majikal: Challenge accepted.
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I'm not saying my build is the right deck; I think you're taking what I'm saying out of context. I'm simply stating that there have been a multitude of people in this thread purporting that would-be...

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
You absolutely can double-count those cards' forced use as an alternative means of advantage. You're inherently forcing your opponent to use offensive resources as defensive ones, and that makes a...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
In order for that to even be an issue, you would require three mana to Zenith for two, and then you would subsequently require one more to activate it. Assuming your opponent untaps and with the...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
The list I'm testing with The Abyss has been very potent so far. I run Urborg and Tombs, so I really have no issues getting the mana I need. Also runs Moxen.
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
You're spot on wrong. Who are a "couple of the Landstill guys" that have tested it and what kind of shell are you referring to? The Abyss can be powered out as early as the second turn in the right...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Actually, there's a funny story behind that (Kadilak and Di can verify this):
Back in 2005 sometime, my opening turn went like this:
Swamp, Lotus Petal, Ritual, Sacrifice Petal, Juzam, Go.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I honestly think that has yet to be seen. People didn't realize how truly good Moat was until years later when it spiked over two-hundred fifty dollars in value. The Abyss is splashable and rounds...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
The deck really isn't that great. It doesn't have anything really interactive and just sits on autopilot for a few turns trying to setup mediocre acceleration. It's kind of like Hive Mind in theory...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Just picked up two Italian The Abyss. I attended the SCG Open in Baltimore and they were sold out and asked curiously why all the sudden everyone was looking for them. This is one of those cards that...
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
You're forgetting about one card that was actually banned in the now-defunct 1.5 and restricted in Vintage.
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Actually the concerns are quite valid and most of the opinions spoken in this thread are based off of real-life price fluctuations as they happen.
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I still don't think people are getting the message right here, so let me be simple and frank about what is going on with Star City Games and their outrageous price fluctuations since the inception of...
