    So does this mean that having two playsets and only having to pay a total of 50 bucks is a good thing?

    I got my BL in a booster. I win.

    Seriously, every week this magic themed dick measuring discussion of who got their goyfs cheaper comes up. Aren't you tired of that?

    I'll wait for it to get banned so I don't have to spend 60 bucks on it. Until them I'll keep playing Belcher.

    Why, after rotating out of extended and standard, should goyf be allowed in the format it ruins the most?

    Back to the discussion, I'm sure Undiscovered Paradise will be back to reasonable prices after everyone realizes how bad bloodghast is. This instant spike in price is people rushing and trying not to lose money on what could be the next Dreadnought or Grindstone. Fortunately Undiscovered Paradise is neither.

    I believe him. I remember when FS first came out and foil Goyfs were going for $5 a peice at SCG.com for like 3 weeks strait.

    @Goyf being good in Extended - They're starting to gain a lot more popularity in Vintage as well.

    Because that has asolutely zero to do with how the bannings are decided ?

Pete Hoefling the owner of StarCityGames.com agrees with my point of view as well.

    So wait until they announce From the Vault: Lhurgoyfs, with premium Tarmogoyfs in a new art by Rebecca Guay & John Avon.

    some youtube interview with Maro, but "mistake" is a summary of what he said really - more that they probably wouldn't have printed it like this in retrospect.

    It was also mentioned in one of Evan Erwin videos (interview with a creator of goyf and info that it was supposed to be 1GG).

    I beat all of you $22 total for a foil set (4 individual transactions), 10 for regular off starcity. I should have bought them all thought, thats my only regret.

    yeah, but again, does anyone actually have a link to this or anything else. for a hundred years now I've seen every anti-goyfer say the card was a mistake and nobody can ever manage to come up with any proof. just a lot of talking out of each others asses.

    How did you guys turn a question about the increase in undiscovered paradise into another stupid goyf thread.

    You should have picked up Undiscovered Paradise and Ghost Town as soon as the landfall mechanic turned out to be good. The demand curve just shifted, and the price is going up. Enjoy.

    Yeah, Bloodghast and Steppe lynx are kind of limited but they're good enough and fun enough to drive up the price of a rare most people have thrown in the trash, further increasing the rarity, in this crazy old game of paper crack...I mean Magic.

    I got my recruiters when they were quarters. Har har har.

    But, seriously, has anyone seen legacy cards go down in price? I mean, Grindstone is not a Tier-1 card, and it's $20. Dark Depths is $20. NO is $15 (this one is tier1, i guess). Heck, Reset is still ~$15, and Solidarity is what, Tier-10 now?

    I think Undiscovered will be $15 for a long, long time. Maybe down to $10, but not below. Hope everyone has theirs.

    Dark Depths is an Extended card that is sharing it's wealth with Legacy.

    I love this game.

    I passed up a summer Serendib Efreet for less than 1k about 10years ago. I guess I win.

    It haunts me to this day.

    You don't even want me to get into the "stupid good deals" discussion. I think I could top just about everything. I'm damned near psychic it seems on accident.


    Though I do admit the worst one. I remember the metal Bird of Paradise on Ebay and I passed on it since I had no clue what it was and I set my limit to $100 for it. It sold for 101.00 of course. I remember seeing the Metal Fork also.

    I passed on a stack of Lotus artist proofs also since at the time they were practically worthless. It was a large enough stack to be all of them.
