That's why I continue to hold onto my 2 EN Abyss. Just joking. I can't believe this card is this high. Time to unload. It's a pretty crappy card despite my continued hopes that it can break aggro. I actually had a lot of fun with it with Steel Stompy (UB version) accelerating it out with Ancient Tombs and Moxes, since it doesn't affect artifact creatures as well O_O

Anyone know why Crucible of Worlds is so much? It was printed in two sets and it's only played in a handful of decks that rarely run it as a 4 of. Is it another EDH thing?

Basically every EDH on earth has one. It's a super powerful card.

Not a bitch, but seems like a relevant place to put this:

Has black borders, but also the new frame and is foil. Can't decide which one is uglier, the white border one or the foil new frame one :)

At least the boarders are the right color now if we could just get a non foil version.

I grabbed a playset of Aluren on Amazon this morning for $12 each shipped just in case since Star City has 0 in stock at 29.99

Its because of a modern GW slippery boggle enchantment deck that's has been putting up impressive numbers on modo ptq. 2 copies made top 8

So the only reasons someone would play Modern over Legacy are: 1) there's a PTQ/GP and 2) it's supposed to be cheaper.

Well, check out these prices. Modern is now more expensive than Legacy was at the time Modern was created to serve as the format with lower entry cost (all prices TCG-mid):
Tarmogoyf, $106.13
Thoughtseize, $62.60
Dark Confidant, $47.05
Vendilion Clique, $35.12
Daybreak Coronet, $19.67
Arcbound Ravager $22.22
Blinkmoth Nexus, $14.19
Misty Rainforest, $32.06
Scalding Tarn, $31.64
Verdant Catacombs, $20.72
Arid Mesa, $19.50
Marsh Flats, $19.74
Kitchen Finks, $8.12
Inquisition of Kozilek, $6.01

Someone fucked up. WotC will need to reprint liberally to make Modern not a joke.

Daybreak Coronet... $20.
Hell, if I had a dollar for every Daybreak Coronet I traded in with bulk...
Thoughtseize at $60 is insane too. I remember hooing and humming over buying them when they were $20 each :D

We already know they're reprinting Tarmogoyf. Look at the bright side, the prices of reserve cards have relatively been steady for months now (except for The Abyss and A/B dual lands).

Thoughtseize at 60 bucks is ridiculous.

Where are you seeing this? Starcity has them listed at $50 (for now).

TCG. Only one vendor has any in stock at 60 for SP and 65 for NM.

I agree, time for me to cash out on overpriced Modern cards once again. Using the money to finish off Shockland playsets seems like a good investment (at least for the RtR versions).
