So here's a bit of a question about reprints, and I'm wondering if anyone knows it.

Prior to the shocklands in Return to Ravnica, what were the most expensive cards to be reprinted into Standard? To clarify: Reprinted into Standard means they were printed in some set (Standard or otherwise), then put into Standard at a point they weren't already legal in Standard. So for example, Baneslayer Angel does not count, because there was no interruption in legality between Magic 2010 and Magic 2011. Scavenging Ooze and the shocklands do count, as they were reprints of previously printed cards that were reprinted into Standard but were not Standard legal at the time of their reprintings, even if the shocklands were Standard legal at one point.

The biggest ones I can think of are Meddling Mage (around $11 at the time from what I can tell, at least looking at findmagiccards.com's price history chart) and Reflecting Pool (about $7). Was there anything more expensive prior to the shocklands?

Thoughtseize probably, though I didn't follow its price closely.

That wasn't prior to Return to Ravnica; that was after. But Thoughtseize is another good example that shows WOTC's willingness to reprint something in Standard even if the price has skyrocketed. Thoughtseize was scraping $60 or $70 before its reprint in Theros.

But Thoughtseize came after. As I stated, I wanted to know the most expensive ones reprinted before the shocklands.

Pithing Needle was once $20+, not sure how much it had fallen by M10.

+Grim Lavamancer, Leyline of the Void, Crucible of Worlds - to the $10ish range stuff when they saw reprint. I think Ooze, Mutavault, Thoughtseize, Shocklands and now Fetchlands are the biggest $$ ones.

Nantuko Shade was around ten bucks I wanna say as well

And then it tanked to $0.10 immediately after the first reprinting. RIP Nostalgia.

I was super excited too. Shade plus Phylactery Lich standard aggro

do you think the zendikar fetches are next?

Call of the Herd and Shadowmage Infiltrator
I know CotH had some fifty bucks and Finkel was also expensive. But I'm speaking of prices in Bohemia, moreover fifteen years ago or what.
Even the TSP reprints held some value, like Call for 15 dollars. Now it's in 0,25 range...

Well, its first reprint was in 10th Edition, not M10. It looks like it was around $16 at that time, though.

The Magic 2010 reprint was when it crashed from around $14 to less than $5.

Thanks for the information, everyone!

Yes. They either reprint them in the third Khans set or in the next fall block.

They said they don't do incomplete land cycles anymore, so allied Painlands in M16 and Zendikar fetches are next somewhere down the road.

I guess fetches are gonna tank a bit, then go back up as people will start playing with these in modern.
There's a difference between a fetch and pithing needle or Call of the herd. They are actually played in Legacy and will be played in modern, so the price will never go that down (except if they are reprinted in another set).
