{Greater Gargadon} Never thought Id see the day

 {Gaea's Cradle}

Same guy that bought out Moat bought out LED. FYI foil {Obstinate Baloth} spiked after appearing in winning sideboards so keep an eye out for cheap copies

Okay okay.... 50$

{Abrupt Decay} may be on its way up since it answers all of those and BGx lost a terrible matchup.

So back on topic. What is gonna hit the chopping block Monday?

I predict Eye :) That or both, but I'm not sure Wotc will completely eliminate the deck.. Even given their history

In the past I was able to get high end staples (rev Duals, Wasteland, fetches, etc.) Now it seems like there is more competition for those cards (people offer bounties on top of their puca values). It's still a decent way to trade up and unload cards you'll never use.

It's not sorin. Alsoooooo, the artwork for the new sorin is so bad... Eric descamp, really let us down

New Olivia looks even worse IMO :/

Awe
Why does everyone have to be so hard-on poor Olivia?

;)

Her 3rd leg has really grown on me :P

Foil {Shatterstorm} guys

I never thought {one with nothing} would be worth ...something o_O also just noticed {Melira,} foils have finally corrected :D

Welp both {mox diamond} and LED have been bought out due to eternal masters...

I would keep a close eye on {Master of Etherium} I bought two foils yesterday and they've already doubled it looks like the plane base was bought out. Just a heads up for fellow affinity players if they wanted a set to use ;)

Hah  {Descendants' Path}

I heard a lot of people (probably exaggerating) talking about moving out of modern and into legacy, since they don't feel like they can trust modern as a legit "non rotating" format. I doubt anyone sells out of modern but a couple people did actually start buying into legacy that I know because of the banning.

Any of you having similar thoughts? We discuss this with Alex from Masters of Modern on the next episode of our podcast.

I think both are secure investments, honestly my modern cards have gained more value compared to legacy, but legacy has remained consistently high. I saw lots of extreme emotional reactions from people who were unhappy with the bannings... And sure it sucks to have your deck banned but I wouldn't say it matters from a financial standpoint. Splinter Twin may be worthless but all the other staples of the deck haven't lost value.

I think the idea of card "security" and "investment" are pretty foolish when applied to MtG, I don't play this expensive game because it makes me money I'm playing to have fun, I'm too attached to some decks to bother selling them. I haven't lost confidence in modern, but Ive accepted Wizards will interfere with it at times. For better or worse I'm still having fun.

I have thought if enough aren't satisfied with Modern and move into legacy what that would do to legacy staples (given limited supply/reserve list cards). Especially when combined with all these price spikes we've seen. I know in the past eople sold off cards that gained value to buy into legacy. I'm OK with either. :D
