It also seems silly to complain about the price of Daze when the rest of the deck still costs 2k+ dollars more in Paper. :rolleyes:

I mean entry fee for a match, by quiting you lose money, cards should cost 0 imo

Lost but peaking.

From 20 to 40 USD overnight #BloomTitan. Couldn't resist, I sold my playset this weekend. I remember trading for these for like a buck or so each 6 years ago.

Meanwhile in Europe, you still get her for $17 :eyebrow:

Right, they went from 4 to 14 Euros in one month... This is insane.

There's a difference between paper collectible and virtual data. Not to mention that I don't own the deck neither in paper. (No matter what exact deck.)

That’s completely fair, but when I’ve spent 2k+ on the paper version, I don’t wish to spend 0.12k on four virtual cards for the same deck to be able to play that 2k+ deck online. (Especially not when I had to put down 0.01k to simply be allowed to create an account…)

What caused Mishra's Bauble to spike that much? Esper Delve in Modern? :really:

Holy shit I'm rich.

Glissa Tiny Leaders?

Flusterstorm, this $30 overnight spike is not cool. Please return to your normal price soon. KThanks.

Where'd it go up in price?

Looks like eBay.

It also got sold out on TCGPlayer for a while, where the only available non-foil copies were hanging around $70. I saw one below $50 earlier today, so I'm hoping it's just a buyout effort that's gonna fail pretty quickly.

Mishra's Bauble, I mean srsly? Where sees this card even play?

Greetings,

It's used in new Modern lists to fill the graveyard for delve (Gurmag Angler and Tasigur + Murderous Cut). Coldsnap was a low print run as well.

Anyone who pays $8 for a Mishra's bauble is a chump. No justifying it.

Lol, Tarmogoyf at Mythic again in Modern Masters 2.

While I wasn't expecting Wizards to grow a backbone and plant Goyf at uncommon, I was at least expecting them to drop it to Rare. They really don't care about reigning in the secondary market, I guess.

I expect the Future Sight version to go up in price now because people were waiting for the MM2 spoiler to buy and sell mostly. Also in Europe MM version was more expensive due to scarcity but now there'll be plenty of new art Goyfs around and the old version is going to become more scarce.

They'll reprint Goyf in every other MM edition, BoP-style, except the price isn't going to take much of a hit.

It will also be a mythic, but the print run of this set will be much higher.

The MSRP pr. booster is also x2 compared to mm.

The MSRP is irrelevant, what matters is the market price. Modern Masters boosters weren't sold at the MSRP. And you can find Fate Reforged boosters for much less than MSRP.

Birds of Paradise and Wrath of God were amongst the most printed rare cards of all time. And, despite that, they remained "money" cards for their entire duration on the Standard tournament scene. Tarmogoyf is no different.

As long as people still want Tarmogoyfs, their price will continue to climb. If it were printed as a rare, the price might stabilize, but the Modern scene continues to grow beyond what its mythic status is capable of delivering.

I learned Snapcaster is almost a 50$ card these days. Hooray? Don't know how unexpected that was to everyone else though. Also hoping that Zen fetches come down a bit since the return to Zen announcement

Return to Zen? Link please.

Announced yesterday in PAX.

Go to 58:00

Why is master of waves rising so fast? Some people are buying nearly every cheap copy of this card... Stores are empty or nearly sold out.

http://media-dominaria.cursecdn.com/...3917032204.png

That's why.

Thanks! But is this card so strong that it justify to buy those really expensive masters? Here in europe they werde sold for 3-4€ and now you have to pay 5-8€ per master.

People think, they can get Mono U Devotion working (in Standard) and Master is the most important card in this deck.

MTG card speculation has gotten to such an extreme that if a card has any hint of being playable again, people will buy them up en mass.

Quick question, still need to pickup a playset of tarmogoyf, when would be the best time to pull the trigger on these guys? Right after MM2 release? Prefer a Futuresight playset.

Literally the second they drop an inch. Because they won't stay dropped, and will at the very best just stabilize. This might be different if you were interested in picking up MM2 ones because people who go "OH MY GOD TARMOGOYF" out of a pack are always looking to hook you up with good deals, but Future Sight will continue to be Future Sight.

I don't think goyf will really drop much at all, the fact that it is mythic, and the high msrp/selling price of mm2 just factors into the cost of printing it. Even with the low supply of mm1, they didn't exactly fly off the shelves like everyone predicted, and mm2 packs cost more.

That's because they made terrible investments at anything other than MSRP, and few people were lining up for anything other than a few novelty drafts.

The first Modern Masters went basically completely as expected.

Originally I invested in dual lands first, thought it would be the better investment. Not complaining, but I kept Goyf for last hoping the price would drop. Think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet on these guys. Thank god I have a good job lol.

Some nice new Judge foils coming though: Damnation, Ravages of War and Wasteland.
