Title: Grab yo rhinos

Ari Lax just won Pro Tour KtK with Abzhan midrange. {Siege Rhino} will probably see a jump...

Abzan is a solid solid deck with many forms aggro, midrange, PW yet all of them run 4 Value Rhinos such a great card!!!

Can any standard expert estimate how high this rhino will go? I get that it's powerful and a 4-of but it seems like only one deck can really use it.

How high did {desecration demon} go? Cause he was played in the #1 standard deck as well as a few others for a while. Can't imagine the rhino would go higher then he was, but with the new set hype I suppose he could for just a short time

I wouldn't call myself an expert, but from watching the Pro Tour and am guessing $10-15. Its 'only one deck' but its really about three different decks: Abzan aggro, Abzan aggro-midrange, and Abzan midrange-control. Really it depends on how people adapt at the FNM level, thats were the majority of standard is played, but it seems Abzan midrange and Jeskai tempo are the two top decks from now on.

As of right now, Rhino is $10 mid and almost bought out in Prerelease foil, only one left at $45

Tbh I'd say around $10-12 sure it's only played in Abzan but it's played in all of abzans forms bc well it's straight value :P

It's already up to $10. I already missed the boat most likely.

Weird. Usually right before a card jumps up in value, I've just traded all of them away. But I actually chose NOT to trade away a rhino, and even GOT a second one! It usually tanks when I do that :P
