Ask BMan0121. He knows all about this stuff.

The outlook looks grim. I don't believe they printed many "must haves" as far as I can tell. The maze runners are fairly limited, the mythics I don't see many 4-of's. I could see maybe {Beck // Call} and {Obzedat's Aid} fetching some money down the line. But they're rare, which effects their peak value.

You should wait for all the cards to drop in DGM (which all the expensive ones will) and then pick up cards to sit on till rotation.

I'm not so sure I see a 5 mana reanimate spell being worth much in the long run, IMO.

I 100% support thus statement also with rotation we dont have all that great of ways to put cards into your graveyard and be able save this at the same time

I could see a {Obzedat's Aid} deck coming out from somewhere. The reanimate Permanent thing is great, hits planeswalkers and stuff, and only costs as much as {Obzedat, Ghost Council} does.

I'm not brewing anything currently, but I could see a deck that reanimates {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} or something similar. Helps junk rites self-mill easier too.

What happens when you self mill  {Obzedat's Aid}? Also you probably will have to play 4 of in a deck to keep from always being milled plus having to add  {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} is taking up too much space in your deck for junk reanimator

I don't know if that is the case yet. You could {Increasing Ambition} for one of them. Who knows? I'm just suggesting it could be a new deck spins off that card. I'd be interested to see it.

If  {Obzedat's Aid} were to be played it would be  {Obzedat's Aid}.deck and be like a combo deck that without the  {Obzedat's Aid} loses. It wont go into junk reanimator for sure. But i defiently see it being a combo deck that can turn 3 a  {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} or get  {Slaughter Games}ed or  {Rest in Peace}ed to death
Like i would play
T1:  {Avacyn's Pilgrim}
T2:  {Farseek} and  {Faithless Looting}
discarding  {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}
T3:  {Obzedat's Aid}  {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}

We will just wait and see then. Travis Woo wrote a pretty decent article about {Obzedat's Aid}. I'm not ready to trash that card yet. The archtype may take awhile to develop, but I can definitely envision it - and we've got nearly a year left to live with it.

You've seen him roll people with that deck right? And seen LSV use that deck to roll people too?

What is your problem with {Obzedat's Aid}? Did that card beat you up and take your lunch money?

Nope its just a bad card that is overhyped
Title: Re: DGM expensive cards?
Post by: Dudecore on May 01, 2013, 09:00:12 AM
I can agree with the overhype. I don't think it's a bad card. Plenty of ways to hit it, and it is part of a maturing archtype.

Dragonshift worked amazingly for me in the prerelease. I had defenders galore on my field and when you have 7 defenders going against a Boros/Gruul mix with no flying on the field and then you play dragonshift for the Overload cost then swing nothing is funnier than that.

{Notion Theif} I believe will go up.  Due to great legacy play, and modern play.  It just doesn't really have a place in standard.  Although I have made a standard deck centered around him, and {Whispering Madness}.
Title: Re: DGM expensive cards?
Post by: whitedrake on May 01, 2013, 04:27:42 PM
I would not say that  {Notion Thief} is unplayable in standard...;) there are so many options...  {Reforge the Soul},  {Otherworld Atlas},  {Whispering Madness}...;)

So far the only card worth any money is {Ral Zarek}. Everything else, even mythics are hovering around $2. {Beck // Call} will be played in Modern, so I'd probably hold onto it.

About 30$ really... That's maybe more ridiculous than  {Boros Reckoner}'s price after GTC was released. He was about 25 and look at him now cca 12... Voice is not worth more than 15 dolars...

I am more optimistic about  {Ral Zarek}, he could stay above 20 dolars for some time... There is so many builds he can fit in...;)

{Ral Zarek} is defiently the best card financially in dragons maze it will see standard play, edh players will love this card and in vintage   {Time Vault} as another combo card

I am with Kanga on this...I don't see how a card that runs into {Supreme Verdict} and has no evasion is worth almost $30. Sure you get a 1/1 token after a board wipe, worse then {Thragtusk} with a lower CMC.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Its not terrible but its defiently over hyped this card is best agaisnt flash decks which arnt very popular these days. Its like if they  {Supreme Verdict} your guys you probably are in top deck mode to draw creatures but if you hold your dudes in your hand waiting for  {Voice of Resurgence} to die then you just lost all your early turns to kill the control player i think  {Voice of Resurgence} will be balanced out at 8-12 dollars

'Vanilla' as most people describe it are creatures with no abilities/powers or whatever, and i assumed had a P/T greater than or equal to their CMC(hence the vanilla test)

But yea, idt tarms is a vanilla creature.. Not last i checked.

It is not only about P/T, thing is that Tarmogoyfs "ability" allow you to grow him teoreticaly up to 8/9 if I am right...:D I would not dare to call so versatile creature by term that's used for {Grizzly Bears}...:D

Anyway back to the topic. I have played yesterday against Naya with {Voice of Resurgance} in... I found that card totaly useless in matchup against my control deck...:) I can not find deck where it would be really beneficial to play him in... Maybe in agrro playing against agrro or midrange... But for deck with {Detention Sphere}, {Terminus} etc he is no threat...;)
Title: Re: DGM expensive cards?
Post by: whitedrake on May 04, 2013, 08:07:50 AM
Huge difference between him and reckoner is that  {Boros Reckoner} is 3 hybrid mana and Voice is {G}{W} it is limiting him a little...

You can play Reckoner in RDW or in White humans... You cannot put Voice to mono green or white and I am not convinced that he is worth splashing.. But time will show... Maybe I am totaly wrong...

Edit: Reckoner can be easily win condition and I cannot see that in Voice...;)
Title: Re: DGM expensive cards?
