As far as I know spoilers other than Force of Will and Wasteland were all baloney. It's a great candidate for a reprint but I would be vary cautious about dumping them as they will probably go up if they're not in the set.

Actually I meant to say rumours, not spoilers. Of course it's not certain. I remember the source being the same who leaked the Twin ban and actually the whole EMA thing but still, rumours only.

I wouldn't necessarily trust everything that person said. It's true they called the Splinter Twin ban and Eternal Masters, but they got some things noticeably wrong. They claimed Amulet of Vigor would get banned, but it was Summer Bloom that got the axe, and they also claimed Eternal Masters would be announced at the Pro Tour when it was actually later.

Me neither, hence I tried to make it very clear that it's all about rumours, not facts.
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
Sadly, Port is a card that not only has an effect that WotC considers unfun, but it contains "Rishadan" in the name. They're very focused on keeping their lore making sense so it's unlikely that this would ever appear in a set not based in Mercadia(Mercadia City?). It's only possible chance for a reprint is in supplemental sets [edit: unless the return to Mercadia but I think Maro was quoted as saying Masques was the worst received set only second to Kamigawa] and I would be totally shocked if it's not in EMA. That being said, I'm pretty sure they'll make it Mythic because of its price on the secondary market. Same goes for Karakas.
Of course, there is the fear that the set will be so limited that the increased supply might not only mean very little in terms of bringing the price down, but that it may event go up. I've also heard arguments that a Port/Karakas reprint even at Mythic will tank the price.
Looking forward to finding out. In the meantime, we can chuckle about Killer Bees and Death Baron spiking.

I'm curious how long those will last for. It looks like BINs in eBay are going up now too.
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
BoP? Sorry, out of context I have no idea what card this is.
Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread
The M11 buy a box promo was alt art foil Birds of Paradise. BoP is common acronym for it. It was $20 for a looooong time. It's now $100 thanks to artificial buyout.

Glad I got my playset of those years ago. That's my favorite art for BoP.

Wheel of Sun and Moon is now >$25. Thanks, Modern players.
Seriously, I should just buy every Modern legal card I even have the slightest chance of playing now so I don't have to worry about all these stupid spikes.

Alternatively, you can stop worrying about having to play every single deck in Modern.
Buy into hype if you want, or just focus on a couple of decks and save money over the long run.
