[Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

[Megadeus]

Modern PT coming up. Best creature in modern = price jump. Probably wont be permanent

[Shawon]

SCG is out of Ports. It sits at $99.99. If they get more Ports in stock, will the price go up? In other words, should I sell my 1x Port now if I need the money or wait to see if SCG raises the price?

[Megadeus]

No reason to sell unless you are desperate. The price definitely isn't going down

[Phelix]

well i guess you answered that one yourself - yes sell now if you need the Money.

food > cardboard. most of the time.

This man disagrees. Food = Cardboard

I intend on selling my Port within a month from now, because I could use the cash. I was more or less asking on when would be the optimal time to sell - before SCG buys more Ports, or wait and see if the price would go up after they receive more Ports in stock.

[Megadeus]

I mean, I dont see any reason to sell now. They only can go up. If they restock at 100, you've lost nothing, if they restock at 120, you've gained some.

What about if there is a reprint. With the current value Wizards would be stupid not to reprint it in some form to get some $$$.

[Megadeus]

Why would they? Especially not in the next month. They don't give a shit about Legacy prices. The card is probably too good for modern. What set would you fit it in? Doubt they would put in into a commander set. Maybe a FTV or something? Even then, I doubt it. Judge promo won't bring the price down.

[Shawon]

They could have reprinted Port in FTV Realms, but they didn't. Next FTV is Annihilation, which comes out August. Port is definitely not going to be reprinted in that, I can assure you.

I'm not worried in the least about a Port reprint in the next month. Not going to happen.

Essentially, all I'm concerned about is gaining an extra $20-$30 on my Port when I sell it. I'll probably hold onto the Port a little longer, and maybe wait out on selling the Goyf I got on trade this weekend as well.


Man, I hope Nykthos spikes soon. I bought 5 in bulk for $6.40 each!

Port sees play in Lands, which has been doing pretty damn well recently. It also sees play in D&T. Both decks run it as a four-of. Port is also from a set that is over a decade old, that wasn't very popular and has no chance of seeing a reprint in Standard thus relegating it as a possible reprint in supplemental products which rarely effect the prices of the original cards, not for long anyway.

port could defiantly be reprinted in standard and its not on the reserve list so it makes perfect sense for something like a core set. Dont think rishadan port is OP since modern standard doesn't really have to tools to abuse it.



Anyone have an opinion on EUREKA as the next 200$ card from legends?

Worse than Show and Tell in several ways. It could potentially be playable if Show and Tell gets banned someday, but it's much harder to abuse. A lot of games would be different if Show and Tell allowed the opposing player to drop in a Planeswalker. Well, Eureka lets the player do that and more.

putting together UWr for a random modern GPT this weekend—$40 Cryptic Command?!?! $12 Celestial Colonnade? Modern Masters II can't come soon enough.

Not with a name like Rishadan Port.

Rishadan Port is banned in standard, so somehow i doubt that.

[JPoJohnson]

Based on their recent 'reprint' of Wasteland in the form of Encroaching Wastes

We could always get Port of Ravnica 2: Tap target land.

[mini1337s]

If Eureka was the real deal, it would have been dominating since Griselbees and co. Show and Tell is easier to cast, faster to cast, and your opponent doesn't have the chance to drop in multiple hate permanents. If it goes up, it's because speculators think they can make every card in Legends $200.

When has wizards ever reprinted a $100 card in a standard set?

Never.

They havent yet but it doesnt mean they wont.

Thoughtseize was awfully close to 100 tho and it got reprinted.

Rishadan port shouldnt be a 100 card either. Thanks scg


I feel like scg will have the mtg bubble pop on them like the housing market. At a certain point people stop joining the pool of legacy players and no one buys an underground sea because scg wants to sell it for $400. 400 price point is probably only a couple years away.

[Megadeus]

Port is most definitely too powerful for STD and Modern. This is the same R&D who thinks Stone Rain is OP.
