[Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

[Lt. Quattro]

Karakas nor rishadan port are on the reserve list. Either way are you trying to indicate that since port is a 4 of on many decks that its price is more warranted than karakas?



i agree, but does that make it a bad time to buy? or are they only going to increase further?

I meant that everyone wants karakas because it could be used as a sideboard card so its high price is understandable. karakas and port not being on the reserved list means jack, when has wizards ever mass reprinted a high dollar card?

Those hardly count as "mass" reprints.

A better example would have been Thoughtseize.

i wouldn't really call thought seize a high dollar card...it peaked at 50 right?

Actually I think it peaked at 80 for a short time

It did peak at 80 on SCG for a short period of time, but was at 70 for quite some time before the reprint was announced which dropped it to 40 over night.

Although TCG had them at 50 during that time for much longer....

When I said mass reprinted I meant in a standard set. An example would the the wasteland reprints, a judge foil and a magic player reward card wouldn't count as mass reprinted. A from the vault reprint isn't massive and a mythic rare from a set that was a limited print with a huge msrp isn't a mass reprint.

So... how long should one wait to buy Deathrites?

[HammafistRoob]

I wouldn't wait. It's ban in Modern won't really affect it's price in the long run since it was only played in a few decks there. They're only around 10 right now, I'm guessing they drop to 7ish for a while and then start to go up again. He'll be boss in Legacy for a very long time.

It was a big card in modern so the price will be affected. The next 6 months will be a good time to buy DRS - look for (relative) bargins on pimp versions.

[Megadeus]

So bitterblossom at 70... lol. Anybody need foil Russian illness in the ranks? ;)

It's also still in Standard. Will its price dip after set rotation, you think?

[Megadeus]

I don't think it even sees standard play... doubt rotation will do much

[jamesh]

Rotation is unimportant. The question now is how many RtR packs are being opened. This will inevitably tail off (even more) towards rotation.

[JPoJohnson]

Mistbind Clique climbs almost $30-40 in two hours of the Bitterblossom unban in Modern announcement.

Didn't even think of that card being affected that intensely. I wonder how long until the hype allows it to drop a little bit.

[nedleeds]

Bitterblossom in modern just makes goyf more insane ... throw tribal and enchantment in the bin with your thoughtseize that you cast after you fetched ... I guess Nacatyl was a result of looking at Goyf and realizing how pathetic tittie cat was in comparison.

[Dan Turner]

I have been hoarding foil Nacatls because I like them.

Now I am thinking of flipping them should I wait a bit for right now at $10 each. I paid maybe $3 for the most expensive and most were $1 bin buys.

Oh and to put it in perspective i have 63 foil atm and no I am not interested in buy listing them either to a shop. I have enough resources to sell myself to actual players

He might never get reprinted. He certainly won't show up in Modern Master's 2. I see him only going up in the long run.

Agreed. I had two extra playsets I hoped would go up rapidly during the next modern season or whatever that shit's called but now a slow and steady growth is to be expected.
Being banned in modern and unplayable in standard means that can only be reprinted in a EDH/planechase product and I don't see them doing that in a few years at least.

Too bad about the ban in modern though, if the two formats had a more similar card pool, people could make the transition to Legacy easier, now DRS becomes another must-have that adds to the entry barrier if you want to move to a true eternal format.

You run the risk of zoo still sucking and them losing value
