    That's about how much the FNM ones are still going for, even on SCG. The regular foil ones have been $10 for ages.

    How much is loyal retainers at? I swear it was at 40 a week ago.

    Isn't that only used in bant survival anyway?

    Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    On mkm there are 2 right now

    Japanese for 55 bucks
    and English for 170.

    I havent seen any on ebay.

    Just picked up 3 for 55 a piece, I checked over the last few weeks and nerarly every single one in stock got bought.

    Maybe I keep one and resell the other two when I can get even.

    It was used exclusively in BantSur, but some "normal" Survivals seem to apply the tech as well.

    Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    I can't get you guys on complaining about this. If you're buying from privates, you will always find a way to pay cards for the right cost. It's obvious that Starcitygames and such will carry on lifting the prices, as long as there are dumb people who get out their credit card of the pocket instead of moving ass a bit and searching at local tourneys, with the consequences of paying twice the right price of a card.
    I can buy a set of Wasteland for 35 euros, and this is from quite 2 years. Tabernacle is still at 60 euros; Force are set cold on 75 euros from 2 years. And I live in Italy, which is the country of thiefs, heck, you can see it even from the government!

    Seriously, avoid SCG and get some contacts with the right people. There are tons of possibilities to get cards without being ass-raped, even nowadays.

    Just to throw this out there that Dreamhalls and Show and Tell are both on the rise. I looked on E-bay for shits and both are around 50 for a play set.

    Those prices will not last long Piceli, if indeed they exist.

    Really. I just bought mine today for USD39.99 on CardKingdom.

    Edit: Looks like I got there just in time. They're all gone now.

    I'm not understanding the sudden, huge price-jump on this guy honestly. He's used as a 1-of in an archetype that isn't extremely popular.

    Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    As long as we're complaining about card prices, Elspeth has been spiralling upwards lately as well. She was holding steady at $20-25 for a long time, but apparently Extended finally realized she was good, and now it's ~$35, with some sellers pushing it towards 40.

    Didn't stop me from buying two just now, because, well, I need them for the deck I want to play. :( Obviously that's the mentality that pushes card prices up. In short it's never been a better time to already own expensive cards.

    Also, there's a neat website called Black Lotus Project that tracks card prices over time using MOTL data.

    Not anymore! Why do I get the feeling one person is buying them all? There's really no use for more than one of them in any deck, so it doesn't make sense for them to start disappearing from the market so rapidly like this.

    Wow, I literally just bought one for $20 two weeks ago.

    Also, I noticed that SCG doubled their price for Dream Halls this past week from $4.99 to $9.99. A set that I was watching on Ebay just topped $60 with over two days left .

    Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    Bought English Loyal Retainers for 25 Euro two weaks ago. This week I bought ELEVEN Dream Halls from the local store for 2 Euro each and put them on magickartenmarkt for 7 each. I was sold out after two hours. Seems fair.
