The problem with that is playable Legacy cards can warp the Standard metagame (see Jace 2.0). They have to be really careful.
Technically you can build Dredge for 100$, learn how to play it, and win games. FoW's and Dual's are not SO needed. In some 2 colour decks you can even play Duals as a 3 or 2 of instead of the full set and don't really notice the difference. You can build Sligh or Burn, and obviously Merfolk, or Affinity, or Spring Tide (minus Candelabra, it's not essential). If one wants to play on a budget, you have plenty of choice.
Of course I would like a huge meta shifts were cards like Phyrexian Revoker are fully playable, but probably after 3 months, Phyrexian Revoker would be 15$. It's the MtG market that is starting to go too fast...the only viable way to keep prices a bit down would be very fast meta shifts, with Tiers and staples changing every month. But to do so you need more cards to be printed, and more often. And frankly I don't want 12 new sets a year....
Are you into Jazz? Have a look at the Lp's I have for sale on Discogs!
Actually Jace is not ''playable'' in Legacy, it is much more, and I consider it a staple of the format. Jace warped t2 for sure, but in a certain way warped Legacy and maybe Vintage too. He's talking about ''T2 cards playable in legacy'', not ''broken in any format'' cards.Originally Posted by keys

wow card really jack up prices that fast make me happy i kept my cards...
now i am thinking if its worth buying a set of tarmogoyf foils for SG$ 900?
2 sp 1nm 1nm spanish...
Insert "broken in any format" instead of "playable Legacy" in my last post and you should get my meaning. No amount of Phyrexian Revokers or Green Sun's Zeniths are going to replace Force of Will and Tarmogoyf.
I'm more worried about them printing things that limit the format to that card only from there on out instead of the larger selection that came before it. Goyf is the prime example. He's not overpowered, but he sure does limit your choices to deck building from there on out. I need a cheap large creature, well goyf takes the spot just about every time since nothing else can compare. Go for the Throat is the next example. There's not much reason to use anything else in black for removal now. That card fixed the Tombstalker dilemma. I just don't want them printing things that eliminate entire card selections just for the sake of power creep. It would be like them making a blue card draw spell that's flat better than Standstill, Predict, and Brainstorm right now.
goyf and GFtT are not comparable in the way you describe
there are still lots of other black spot creature removal spells - snuff out, innocent blood, ghastly demise even edict - that in the right circumstances/deck will be played over GFtT
goyf is obviously undercosted but as non-goyf decks come to the fore - remember how survival made goyf weak - his value won't necessarily keep rising
the reality is that eternal formats just aren't a priority for wizards - look at how BSC instantly replaced (and made redundant) DSC in vintage - their focus is necessarily standard (keeping this part of the game fresh) and that will eliminate previously loved legacy (and vintage) staples

You got the idea. Nitpicky. : P
How much do you guys think Jace and foil Jace will stabilize after standard rotation?
I'm going to say about $70, $180-$200 respectively. I see Jace as the same story as Goyf back in the day, except that he is a mythic (however less copies of him are demanded since he is more narrow than Goyf in Legacy/Ext.
i might be entirely wrong though XD
Decks that I care about:
Steel Stompy
UWx Landstill
Dreadstalker
DDFT (10% practice)
Mangara on MWS? You must be masochistic. -kiblast
Why?
He's 70-80 now.
Figure 40-50 post rotation.
Most likley to the point where you can trade one tarmo for one Jace
This post is likewise lacking in content and posting quality. My comment below applies here too. Thanks.

More like $75-80 non-foil. I don't think the card is narrow as he is the nuts in every control deck (Vintage and Ext included).
This card is fucking insane. He can fit into any tempo shell, Landstill, Countertop, even in Stax and Pox. How many Planeswalkers can make Hymn to Tourach, Smallpox, and even Smokestack worth playing again?
You must be out of it, he is around 100$ right now non-foil 95 for an SP. He will still be in extended for a while after standard dont forget guys.
I see him leveling out around 70. If they print a better blue walker he will drop to 50ish but other than that, I do not see much changing.
All this talk about legacy prices going crazy (and i actually think they really are) makes me think more and more about an overextended possibility. Legacy is slowing going the vintage way, and i really see EDH being the future of eternal play.
I guess i will hold on to ravnica duals and such cards, because the more i look into it, the more i see the ship wrecking...
" the more i look into it, the more i see the ship wrecking... "
Same thoughts here.
The prices are so damn high that there are just few new players who can get to know and play competetive in the format. I see huge problems when all those Leg. Dinosaurs start quitting the game due to their normal life and there are no new players. Sure, its a bit exaggerating and all those big tourneys in each country will stay alive for quite a time, but it is definetly not so far from truth. I am always wondering how a market can have raising prices when the number of people using the products isnt raising at all. Supply and demand sure exist but there is no "real" reason for such excessive raise of prices. It is a collectible card game and some cards become very rare, but I think a lot of people just make up prices a bit cause they are willing to get a lot more money out of this game than they spended on it.
If I am wrong at this, especially about the growing or decreasing number of MtG Eternal players, feel free to correct me and inform me better. I am kinda confused about all those prices exploding. I bought FoW's for 12-20 Euro a piece and was nearly a bit too greedy to spend that money and that was maybe 2 and a half year ago, maybe 3.
I recognized a kinda stubborn behaviour on this topic by many players, but I really wish that people think a lot more about the development of prices and ask themselves if its really correct or just I-hype-to-an-extend-cause-some-will-buy-it-cause-it-made-twice-top8. No personal offense, honestly, but īsome things are going really crazy in the last time IMO.
Greetings!
Where are you guys getting your Jace prices? Locally, they're about 75-85, and they're not moving quickly. Whether it be the upcoming rotation or "high" price, they're around. Regional pricing, perhaps?
-Matt
In USD. Based on Starcity and Channel fireball, Buy it now on Ebay 95. Troll and Toad 95. 110 at Card Kingdom 95 at MTGfanatic. Coolstuffinc 105.
Strike Zone Online 105. Ideal808 97. Magic inferno 96.
Average Price is 98.8 USD.
If your going to buy a card you aren't going to try to buy an "averaged priced one" when there are cheaper options readily available. They are going for 75-85$ on ebay. SSG, channelfireball, etc. prices aren't "Average"; that's the high end if your feeling lazy or are really crunched for time so paying 15$ more for a jace is worth it.
