They are always on due time and in the condition that they should be. Never had any problem..

On topic, is there anyone else trying to collect legacy staples even if they don't need them just to make sure to have them before they raise in price ?
Personally, I've been looking for decently priced cards that are staples just in case that I ever need them.

Been doing that since Legacy was announced :)

and now its Scroll Rack time >.<

**Meister_Kai** · 01-30-2010 12:48 PM

So why is Phyrexian Tower disappearing everywhere? What deck is this card a part of? Also who cares about Zodiac whatever, don't all those cards suck?

I think this thread is not only a speculator's dream, but a place in which we should conduct experiments. For instance, I think I'm going to go around and buy every copy of City of Traitors and then post here ranting about how the sky is falling and stating that they will go as high as $45 a piece. I will then sell out and repeat this until I'm rich.

That was one of the most epic threads of all time. Getsickanddie is my hero.

I think it's just a coincedence that cards are rising as they are named in this thread. After all, SCG announced the $10 scroll rack thing, not The Source. And loyal retainers went along with a deck that suddenly sprung up as DTW. Etc.

Apparently it comboes with Abyssal Persecutor. I wouldn't expect a huge price jump on these though, unless that deck just turns out to be the nuts. SCG has them for $5 currently at the low end, but none of the other stores have any (at least not the last time I checked). Oddly, you can still pick them up on eBay for like $2-3.

**gravemind123** · 02-01-2010 12:05 AM

Is there any reason Scroll Rack suddenly jumped in price? They've only been in the maindeck of like 4 top 8s all year and those decks were all Vintage and possibly all Iona-Oath. I got one for about $5 a few weeks ago and now suddenly you can't buy them for less than like $15.

This one is still strange. Hasn't anyone heard of Cabal Therapy? The out to the big 6/6 that just waits there in your graveyard for you. Oh crap now that'll jump to 50 a set.

Probably some retarded speculator thinking Treasure Hunt + Scroll Rack = nutz combo!!

Oh boy were they wrong.

Said speculator = SCG, hence...

Or maybe someone got an inside information about Land Tax being unbanned next announcement.

Is it worth noting that Land Tax seems to have jumped to around $10 apiece?

**dahcmai** · 02-01-2010 06:33 PM

Heh, Scroll Rack. I'm psychic it seems.

As for why, I'd say it has more to do with the fact it's pretty damned amazing with Treasure Hunt.

Next up, new Jace, Humility, Intuition, Argothian Enchantress, and of course Transmute Artifact if they decide to correct it to match the other cards wording (ie. Flash)

I also expect Foil Rofellos to break the $50+ mark by the next time one sells.

**majikal** · 02-01-2010 06:59 PM

It's official. The sky is falling.

Tarmogoyf has hit $90 on SCG and is sold out at that price.

Haha, there's going to be a point when it's no longer fun to think about building a new deck. Sigh.

**majikal** · 02-01-2010 07:12 PM

Well, we asked for more attention for Legacy, and we got it. Was it worth it?

I wasn't expecting it to be this horrendous, to be honest. I mean, $60 Goyfs were fine, I understood Extended Season and the demand. But $90? And to think, the SCG Opens don't end until December 5th. Can you imagine a $150+ Goyfs (or even higher? If CounterTop still continues to be the deck de jour?)? Pretty messed up shit, in my opinion.

**kicks_422** · 02-01-2010 07:33 PM

I'm guessing he next cards to jump up in price would be the shocklands, as replacements in Legacy decks since all the duals would be cleared out. Wouldn't help that it's Extended season.

**Solaran_X** · 02-01-2010 07:45 PM

All of a sudden, paying $30 a Goyf a couple months back seems like a good deal instead of the extortion I thought it was at the moment.

**SomeRandomDude** · 02-01-2010 07:50 PM

Im glad i got my 3 (

) goyfs awhile ago. 2 for $18 each and 1 for $2
