Abyss just doubled its value. What is going on? Even Italians are going.
Shahrazad doesnt make much sense. It's banned in every format and carries significantly less sentimental value than juzam djinn
I feel like eventually these cards are just going to be "collectors" and people will get priced out of the game. The mtg economy will crash soon (within 5 years).

why cards are so expensive...hoarders
Price spikes on even shitty cards will retain 50-75% of the spike. PNodes will settle about $5-7.

This is one that Quiet Speculation 100% conjured out of nothing. When I was a 1-month trial user, I posted my speculation of why it would be good with slivers, and QS sent out my comments as their own for the price spike email blast. Card went from $0.50 to $5, then clung to about $4. I'm sure they've repeatedly hyped the card over and over since it spiked to $10->$6, then for some reason it just spiked to $23 today.
Must be that kobold deck....

With Old School 93/94 being so popular, do you guys think there will ever be an "old border only" format? Basically the opposite of Modern. Which decks would be Tier 1?

I still can't believe I bought a whole playset of MMA Chalice of the Void for $20 just a few years ago.
And I bought several City of Traitors for $30-$60 a pop a few years ago, too.
I thought they'd never go much higher than that...
So all the Reserved List foil cards are basically spiking 1000%?
I should have invested in foil Grim Monoliths!

Point is they will never fall back to the original price, so they already made a profit with the buyout.
But eventually they will sell everything.. at higher price than buying it.. and that's profit. Even if they won't sell it for 1000$, they might end up selling the foil monoliths for 300$.. if they bought them for 200$ or less a piece that's still pretty good margin..
Do you understand this concept?
It's profit once they've sold everything at a higher price than which they bought it for. Until then they just bought a bunch of cards and that's it. Good luck paying your bills by sending companies foil Grim Monoliths... And would you accept a stack of Squires as change?
I also understand that prices like these can create a bubble, which can pop.
