[Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

I remember thinking it was ridiculous when Grim Monolith was unbanned in legacy and it jumped from a couple bucks to 30$, and then Bitterblossom comes along...

If they drop back to $2 each I am still ahead of the game since I collect cats.

So Noble Hierarch is up to 50 on tcgplayer...

Hierarch at 50, Seculded Glen is at 15, Grove of the Burnwillows is randomly at 45....

Is anyone even playing secluded glen in their lists?!

I saw Mistbind Clique's at 25 yesterday too, I think people might be overreacting just a little bit

I was all for fae when i first heard blossom unbanned. Then i thought about it.... faeries were amazing because their competition wasn't much. I think you had kith kin and makeshift mannequin decks.


in modern it's very diff. You have access to pyroclasm, infest, grim lavamancer, and several combo decks...

Pridemage is also main decking since the return of zoo. Fae will get crushed by zoo. between nactal, guide, and kird ape fae's 1/1 blossom tokens aren't enough. even with a scion a few 2/2s aren't gonna cut the mustard


bitterblossom is a modern only card. It's not good enough for legacy and i feel like peoples are def overreacting.

Yeah I've been brewing a Deaths Shadow Zoo list with 3 MD Pridemage. The card just seems so good in the format.

there was also elves in the meta, and they were good. along w. 5 color control.

When did noble hierach become so high in price ?

There was also Ramp with Cloudthresher and Lark and a little bit of Merfolk. I remember because I dropped from my National Qualifier at 3-0 (playing Faeries) to play in a 12-man Legacy event (playing Enchantress) that won me a Grandmother Sengir

You won Grandmother Sengir? :cry:

increasingly Wizards are going to have to be careful about who knows about changes to the banned and restricted list - there is obviously a lot of money to be made

If that was a prize I would concede just to piss my opponent off for having to take it.

Nah. I'd frame that shit

Any moderately good modern rare or mythic that didn't get Modern Masterbated is pretty volatile. Hierarch was obviously going to skyrocket after the banning of the best mana dork, it has only a judge foil ... it's played in Vintage, Legacy and Modern, has casual appeal, etc..

If you didn't own four and never picked them up in the last 2 years you have nobody to blame but Obama. Without DRS around to hold Snapcaster in check it'll be $30+ in no time as well ...

Agreed. I plan on picking up my set of Snaps this weekend in Nashville.

another card that was being held back by the omnipresent shaman is Vengevine ... it's also a Mythic from an insanely hard to find set ...
