When Does Tarmogoyf Rotate Out of Standard?

[Tical2000]

I would love to know when Tarmogoyf rotates out of Standard. I plan on picking up a playset when they're rotated out and hopefully dropped in price. Only problem is, I have no Type 2 knowledge and don't have the slightest clue when Future Sight rotates out of Standard. If anyone can provide me an approximate date, that would be nice. Thanks.

At the release of Shards of Alara, together with the rest of TS block and Coldsnap, which is October 3, 2008.

Thanks. Appreciate it, buddy.

[Tical2000]

Do you guys think that it'll drop in price?

[Elficidium]

Not heavily 'till it rotates out of Extended, which is an ungodly long time.
I don't see it dropping below 20€ before that.

[Jander78]

I imagine it will drop a little bit with the standard only players liquidating theirs, but I can't imagine it will drop a ton.

I agree. Atleast it will become more avaliable though, in online stores.

This is all assuming of course, that tarmogoyf does not get reprinted in eveningtide. If that happens, it will either raise a lot for being in standard and extended for another year, or drop dramatically for reprinting him a million+ times.

Actually, given that several of the future sight "future shifted" cards have been reprinted, it is possible that Goyf will be too.

This will NOT be in Eventide though, as Goyf is a grave-based card and Eventide is not going to be a grave-based set.

It depends on whether or not people will want to speculate.

Just because a card doesn't match the theme of the set, doesn't mean it won't be printed, (see the planar chaos, and the whole time spiral set while your at it.)

[Cait_Sith]

Umm...

What in Time Spiral did not fit the theme? I mean, thematically, the only set more on target was Kamigawa.

[andreotti16]

Umm, in time spiral, bringing back some of the really old mechanics was fine but why bother in future sight to bring back ravnica mechanics? I mean, to me it just seems stupid. Instead, they should have had more future shifted cards or more cards with the older mechanics like shadow, or pain spells (browbeat, dash hopes, ect). In my opinion, they did not have enough pain spells.

Tarmogoyf is not being reprinted, just like Steamflogger Boss. Wizards of the Coast has confirmed that.

You serious? Sonofabitch. Steamflogger Boss that is...

I know I really wanted to assemble contraptions twice as fast! I'm 1 away from a foil playset.

Can we get a link? I want to make sure it stays dead.

Who cares? R&D's overall plans for the future of Magic are generally reliable, but any specific promises they make are worth jack shit. See: "no more random discard", "no more P/T counters other than +1/+1", etc. etc.

[monopoman]

Odds are with how ridiculous the card has become it won't be reprinted.

There is no law saying that every future shifted card will get reprinted.

They even said so themselves Steamflogger is a joke they say Contraptions are a joke.

So yeah if that leaves one then that leaves more you can read about that on articles shortly around Future Sight on the main site. I'm too lazy to look it up but I know its there for sure.

Is the card broken?

No.

Is it set specific?

No.

Then it is definitely possible that it could be reprinted.

No.

Goyf is not broken, but definitely overpowered. Heck, they don't even reprint Rancor because it's considered "too good".
