Stroke of Genius, Masticore, Staff of Domination, make an arbitrarily large Wake Thrasher, or just dump a bunch of Eldrazi on the board? I mean it's mana, so you can build your deck in any way to abuse it.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I decided to sell much of the stuff I had and keep only the deck I am playing for columbus and a deck for someone to borrow for columbus, mefolk and counterbalance. Well I have dredge too.
But goodbye everything else. Prices are good and with the bannings, I'm just angry so wanted to trade the cards in for a new tv and some cymbals for my drumset.

Banefire? Stroke of Genius? Doesn't really matter how you kill. Once you've got infinite mana...

Is it really that good of a combo enabler? Are Wildfire and MUD decks the new deck to beat?
Well there is a sudden surge of people wanting to try to get Grim Monoliths to pull off some combo with it.
At the time when they were unrestricted they made Wildfires, Blue Bullshit, and many other decks truly broken. But that was years ago.
If it gets too out of hand, which I doubt, the answer is still Null Rod so it should never reach exorbitant prices. At least more than they are now.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
tarmogoyf going down now since the new extended was announced. down to 50 on scg and seems to be occasionally going for 45 or so on ebay.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Good Morning
Power Artifact is has now gone officially crazy expensive. See ebay. What makes no sense to me is that a card will have some speculative value and people flock to it as if it is worth the same amount as force of will. In my opinion, there is no way that these prices can sustain. Sell them now if you have them, it doesent get any better than these prices.
Peace

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Well, I will gladly sell mine at $50 a pop. That is one card that isn't worth it. Now if they fix Transmute on the other hand.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I mean, when Grim Monolith started going crazy you had to have seen this coming, right? Even if it is only a fringe-playable combo, Power Artifact is from Antiquities, only has one printing in the set (Unlike, say, Mishra's Factory which appears four times), and is required as a 4-of in the decks that play it. The print run for that set was pretty low to begin with, and I'm pretty sure a lot of the cards were destroyed Iron Man style, from shuffling unsleeved, or just straight up thrown in the trash by people who didn't think the game would last.
I'd be interested to know which set has the lower print run: Antiquities or P3K?
-
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Hard to say; Antiquities had a print run of ~15 million, and I haven't seen any definitive info on P3K. It gets trickier in that P3K was printed in multiple languages, so that could increase its print run to higher than AQ.
-
Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I can't help but laugh every time I read this thread and someone mentions Iron Man. I destroyed soooo much it's sad. Iron Man Magic, raising prices everywhere. lol We should bring it back just to annoy the crap out of people.

From what I've read the total run of P3K was under 10 million, which puts it well below Antiquities.

I have heard that as well, but I have never seen anything close to confirmation that it is accurate. The AQ print run # came from D'Angelo.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
In other news, Lim-Dûl's Vault has quietly leapt in value by nearly 1000%...
Also, keep an eye on Mind Over Matter as it combos very nicely with the upcoming Temple Bell.

Glad I bought my last Vault for €0.70, I had no idea it was raised like crazy.
I bought my 4 Mind over Matters for €1.50 as soon as Temple Bell was spoiled. Even of the combo doesn't work out in a deck (which I guess will be the case) it will point out more attention toward the card and seeing it was printed pre-mirrodin, it's value will at least double as a result. At least I'll build a Mind over Bell deck for casual play.

I realize that Mind Over Matter can potentially win the game, but I don't see how a combo that requires an enchantment that costs :2::u::u::u::u: and an artifact that costs :3: is any better than the other two-card combos out there, especially since the cards aren't useful on there own and since there aren't redundant options you can build your deck around.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
It's one of those things like Power Artifact, just because you can do it doesn't mean it's good, but people will still try it and in some areas where they don't have a massively developed meta, it's actually good. Casual does control some prices oddly enough.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Anything is possible and I agree with Ramanujan 100%.
Take a good, hard look at the banned list ( and or restricted list) of any format. What are the obvious cards that if unbanned or unrestricted would cause another card to boom in popularity? (keep in mind they usually ban half of something totally broken and not both in regards to 2 card ownage).
I can't see much point in trying to predict the kinds of cards they're going to print (unless it's an answer to something degenerate in type 2 which also incidentally would break something else) but these are the mental games I like.
Discussing recent prints is another thing altogether. Speaking of which:
... Aluren just got a LOT more consistent now that it has 8 cavern harpy with the printing of that new aether mage. Oh lord. Please tell me we're going to see Aluren go to $75 now. ;) ;)
/sarcasm
I swear I might as well buy a bunch of protean hulks and the like in case they unban Flash in 10 years because it's not considered fast for the format any longer. lol
