I'm not playing Modern right now. Wheel, Thorn of Amythest, Blood Moon, Stony Silence, Ensnaring Bridge, Urborg, etc...I've been wanting to pick up all those cards for Legacy decks but their prices have been heavily affected by Modern.Originally Posted by mini1337s
None of these cards are un-affordable (particularly by Legacy standards), it just "feels bad" to have to buy them after a spike.
The worst part is the self fulfilling prophecy that comes with this situation. Hoarding by players drives up the price, trying to get in ahead of the hikes incentives hoarding, when price starts to rise people try and jump in early and hoard...
It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.
I hope your afterlife is filled with eternal torment.
Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
Maybe with modern no longer being a pro tour format the prices won't go quite as insane.
Maybe, I feel like it still will, but you do not have to worry about a seasonal increase now. The real bonus is that now you do not have to worry about Rotation Banning.

As soon as WOTC starts releasing spoilers for Eternal Masters (or any other reprint set), people will start dumping cards. We still have lists for Commander and From the Vaults to be announced, along with Conspiracy 2. There's a lot of room for reprints.
Dark petition jumped to $8. I may be wrong but i think its due to some standard deck.
John Finkel just reached his 16th PT Top8 with a Dark Petition deck this weekend...
Muddle the Mixture is $7. SO if you have any lying around it's time to sell
Transmuting for Thoptersword or what's the reason? I noticed it the moment it spiked on Sunday and was lazy speculate on it, still available <1$ on MKM
The fuck? I have so many of those lying around.
Though I bet now if I try to look for them they'll not be around.
The purpose of any moat is to impede attack. Some are filled with water, some with thistles. Some are filled with things best left unseen.
Yeah that's what it was used for when it was a deck in Extended.
Up until five, six years ago I regularly bought boxes, which means you have a lot of chaff lying around. Piles of craprares, and useless commons or uncommons. When I moved, i threw a lot of that cardboaard away (several kilos). It sucks now years later when those useless commons suddenly begin to spike.
Those cards have all been around forever. If you've been wanting to play them in Legacy but don't have them already, I'm not sure what to tell you.
From nothing came teeth.
Well, not all of us have been playing Legacy "forever", and I'm sure there are plenty of us that have but still don't own a comprehensive Legacy collection.
At any rate, I think I'm going to stop caring and just be content that I can afford to enjoy this expensive hobby. If that means spending $20 on a Wheel of Sun and Moon, whatever.
You murricans are so silly. Are you really spending 20$ on a wheel of sun and moon? Yes the price has been spiked, but that's just a current hype and it will water down in next few weeks. But even with the current hype, 20$, really!?
https://www.magiccardmarket.eu/Produ...f+Sun+and+Moon English copies can be found for 5-7€, which is now what, 6-8$.
Is American market so different from EU's that you are overpaying 2-3 times for cards? If so, I'll seriously consider a trip to US and sell all my collection for 2 times of what it's worth in EU
The proportion of Modern:Legacy players here in the US is higher than elsewhere I'd imagine. That means the effect of the Modern sheep on card prices is much more pronounced than in other parts of the world.

And yet, you all wanna have German cards to pimp... Leaving the Germans thinking their language is worth much more than the Portuguese! Way to go!
I would settle for English if Wizards ever managed it. You know, English... Akroan Jailer should be Akroan Gaoler.

I never understood the premium some people will pay for German cards. You can get boxes for the same price as 'normal' ones (English or French) at the normal price here (Belgium) with ease. It's not as if those cards are so hard to come by. I used to buy my boxes in Russian when that was still possible, if I were to pick up that habit again, I'd go for German. Same price, but the individual cards seem to move a lot faster.
Well, it used to be that foreign cards were rare. Japanese, in particular. I don't know if that's true anymore. Here's my experience:
1. I like Chinese cards because I can typically get them for cheaper than English ones.
2. I like Russian cards because the language is really pretty.
3. I like German cards because the language is so angry and awesome.
4. Some particular cards are funny (if you are twelve): Treasure Cruise in German is "Lehnende Ausfahrt." Delay in French is "Retard."
