Why is {Imperial Seal} worth so much more than {Vampiric tutor}? Isn't {Vampiric Tutor} strictly better?

Availability. Portal 3 Kingdoms was a super limited print run. But yes, vamp tutor is better.

Makes imperial seal strictly better.


Totally kidding, as stated previously it's availability.

That being said... The price difference is absurd and laughable. It's only legal in vintage and even at that as a 1 of in only a few decks. I can't imagine paying that much for one of these.

Basically anything playable from portal three kingdoms is a collectors item.

Yup. {Nature's Lore} is a buck at most. {Three Visits}? $20+. Same effect, same rarity, but Three Visits is P3K, so it's stupid expensive.

 {Capture of Jingzhou} Is another good example. VS  {Time Warp}

I just watched a box of P3K sell for ~$6,500 about a week ago.

But, but that's reasonable. {Armageddon} doesn't have the reminder text....

In all honesty, I'm in favor of banning any duplicate 3K cards for EDH. If you have the money to throw at it, you basically get two-offs of cards. And horsemanship.. Underpriced unblockable..

The only horsemanship card I care about (though not asking for banning) is {sun Quan, lord of wu}.

Lol that's some of basic magic. You have more money you get the advantages.
