[Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

[sdematt]

Speaking of anti-Eldrazi tech, Painter tripled in price overnight. I don't know enough about Modern to know if that's really going to be worth the sideboard slots. It definitely slows down the Eldrazi decks, but it doesn't really change the fact that they still have a bunch of reasonably-costed big dudes, and Painter by itself is not exactly a win condition. Hopefully someone that understands the format more can let me know if this is just reactionary or if Painter is the real deal.

Obviously Painter is just one half of the equation. You just slow them down enough until you get Grindstone out, and then you...oh wait... ;)

ftfy. ;)

ftfy. ;)

Except that doesn't work ;)

Hence the "might". 1 Brainstorm is 3 Tutelage triggers. Might get there.

Maybe you just need a Compost for good measure.

I'm certain everyone has seen some of the absurd Modern price spikes after Pro Tour: Eldrazi, but what has really stuck out at me is that Thunder Spirit is now at $100 TCG Mid Price (presumably because of 93/94 coupled with Legends scarcity).

This game is crazy.

That's like Storm Crow level LOLz.

[AnvilOfCrom]

That's because it's an important card in the Mono W 93/94 Deck.

Still one of the cheaper decks of the "format"

Finally something!!

Obviously FOW would be Mythic, but Wasteland at Rare is interesting. We can't expect every high dollar reprint to just be Mythic.

So Duals, City of Traitors, Mox Diamonds are spiking already. Get your cards from reserved list sooner than later.

Right after I spent my entertainment budget for the month to. :(

Of well, lets see where the non-blue duals are this time next month.

Seriously, all reserved list cards getting bought out to. Sellers market gonna be the end of the game. There is no bloody limit.
Edit; Prices are gonna implode sooner or later. Eternal Masters might just be the trigger.

Sellers buying out all cards and that way control the supply and thus the prices. How far can it pushed until the demand drops? At some point no one wants or is able to to buy into cards or change decks. People i know are quitting the game for the ridicilous prices. Others selling out Modern. On FB i see more and more collections pass by. I even start to wonder te sellout my entire collection and re-buy one deck with cheap exc+ cards so i dont loose like 10k when it happens.

I just hope prices reach an absurd level. So I'll be able to pay my trip to Mars.

I like how there is no way to lose money in this system.

I could buy a freaking UB shockland for 3 grand and given enough time it will reach that mark, and i will make money out of it

But see, when the prices come crashing down everyone who wanted get into legacy will take the opportunity and prices will rise again. All this proves is that prices are cyclical.

In case you did not notice, as I write this there is a massive buyout happening of RL staples like Cradles, Mox Diamonds, LEDs and more. They basically vanished from eBay, TCG and other platforms

If you read the thread, this is literally yesterday's news.
