Title: Obzedat speculation
Post by: Legends784 on March 15, 2014, 11:05:58 PM
So what do you guys think of {obzedat, ghost council} right now? I'm currently in possession of 5 of them and have no idea what to do. They're dropping like rocks and I don't know if I should just sell them while I still have the chance or hold onto them and see if they see any play in journey to nix.

I'd recommend holding onto them because I see the price potentially raising post rotation or sell two now and hold onto three

I would trade for one of them.

I really don't see them going up post rotation. They aren't played in any other formats, except EDH and even there his isn't uber popular.

Ive made one. White can be haste or lifelink whilst black is kill. Lol I went 3-1 with it!

But neither of those colours have a lot of haste...

Not a lot, but they do.
Take slivers for example.

He could also be in a kill-regeneration deck
Title: Re: Obzedat speculation
Post by: Sparkle Ninja on March 15, 2014, 11:30:41 PM
But there isn't a white sliver that gives haste... Or a black one for that matter

Idk why I said haste. He could go in a colorless deck.

Post by: Sparkle Ninja on March 15, 2014, 11:33:36 PM
With that logic anything could go in a colourless deck

I'm surprised he went down. I should buy some now in case they go up. Maybe if Athreos is good they will.

BOOM he's good for something.

He seems pretty expensive for other formats other than EDH. But if you can't trade him for what you want now he may be worth something later unless magic crashes in value

I would trade/sell them now. I don't see anything being printed that goes as well with him as {Whip of Erebos} does, and that didn't even make him expensive. 7 bucks is still a good value, and there are still people that want it. Your best bet is to trade them at 7 dollar value for cards you need. Agrus was right when he said Obzedat isn't super popular in EDH...especially now that you can get half his effect without even casting a spell. *cough*oloro*cough*

The vampire is very correct. But I'm still saying you should hold onto at least 1. I mean that's what I do with everything. A lot of it has gone up in price. I still have an original {Orb of Doom}. It's only gone up in price. I'm just saying what I think

Post by: Condor-Wingman on March 16, 2014, 03:18:03 AM
I wish I had a Ghost Council for my Orzhav Commander Deck. As to value, hold a couple back, then I would trade/sell rest.

I play Esper control in standard and actually dropped the 2 {Ætherlings} for 2 Obzedaddies. Don't judge! :P

Post by: DirtyMustachio on March 17, 2014, 10:47:37 AM
Well I would wait until we see journey to nyx

However I'd peace them out before rotation

If your feeling generous
I'll take one for my oloro deck
Title: Re: Obzedat speculation
Post by: FustyDavorite on March 17, 2014, 12:22:18 PM
Yeah I say hold off on trading him for at least a bit. I see him at the least maintaining 7 dollar value up until rotation. But if he shoots up at any point get rid of him. B/W god will be released in journey so he may jump. Either way, looks as if you could trade a couple right now to some of these guys lol

Never know what nyx will bring
It's why I'm holding onto my reckoners

Both the Boros and Orzhov colored gods are coming out then....although, if they are like these gods, they won't be played anyways...
