sounds a Little like you thought it a good idea to create incentive, by sending them Money?

[Blakroc]

I think its pretty hilarious that Arid Mesa is worth more than Plateau.

Fixed.

[Mr.C]

Doesn't affect most, but textless foil cradles are 10+k and foil cities are allegedly 15k. Getting stupid.

Getting close to the cash out point? :p

Still Glad I never traded my Wastes. Even if one is damaged.

sad thing is, my trade binder is out performing my 401k. Just put a minty underground sea in it at $175 in trade about a month ago and its already at $220-$230. In the same time period my primary fund I am invested in went from $32 a share to $33.50 a share. Scared to look up fetches now that they are overtaking some of the dual lands. I am sitting an a spare playset think I may have to move it soon.

Mox Opal is $55 TCG low ...

I'm dumping all my zen fetches for duals right now. They are stupidly high right now.

[Bed Decks Palyer]

Shit. This is insane.

[Megadeus]

Luckily this is a card that I never will care to own

[Kage]

Look up Serum Visions or Celestial Colonnade <yuck>

So much for Modern being the affordable eternal format.

[Bed Decks Palyer]

I'd love to know how big of an impact on prices have the emergency buys of people who wish to finalize their decks/projects/collections before the prices go completely crazy.
I guess that my all-chinese Thresh will never happen.
I guess that there are people who just realized that their 40plus40 will never happen.
I guess that a complete collection of Kipling West is still doable, though.

[Barook]

Makes me wonder how long Modern is still supportable with more and more decks going easily in the 1k-2k dollar range.

Sure, Wizards can reprint stuff, but prices are literally exploding everywhere and it takes Wizards two years to react - and even then, their "Collect the protectors"-stance kinda ruins the whole point of reprints when because they fear the scorn of people who shelled out 800 bucks for the playset of Tarmogoyfs.

I think the obvious end result of all this is that WotC will discontinue Modern as a Pro Tour format. They will probably still have the odd GP like they do with Legacy, but this experiment has failed and shown that Modern - strike that, non-rotating Magic in general - is unsustainable long-term without a serious adjustment of their reprint policies.

Quality is poor. I touched one and it gave me AIDS.

This current crazy prices just proves your point. Maybe its time for wizard to bring back the extended with the 3 latest blocks as a PTQ format. There is simply no way to reprint enough cards to satisfy demand for Tarmogoyfs, Birthing Pods, fetchlands, mox opal.

Playable (sleeved). Untradeable (in person).

[nedleeds]

Maybe. Or they might see they just got 4,200~ people to show up for a GP and sold Modern Masters like AKs in Afghanistan.
