What do you guys think is the highest demanded card(s)?
I think that either the temples, mutavault, or the Gods.

Except it's really not in demand. If I had the money to buy an alpha black Lotus id just buy a pimped out edh deck.

Courser of Kruphix if we're talking standard. As more decks need this card, less are becoming available as BNG was most likely opened much less than THS and JOU

The only reason it's that expensive is because it's in demand.  Supply and demand balance the price out to there, so obviously it's in high demand.
It's in demand only from Collectors and Vintage players, which are a very, very small group.  The only reason that the price is so high is that there's an incredibly short supply of them.
Now, to take about Supply/Demand creating Prices to determine demand, I'd have to say Blue Fetch Lands.

Agreed.
The price is skyrocketing, and its hard to get your hands on one.

No, the demand is low, but the supply is even lower. All you can tell from a high price is that the demand is higher than the supply. That's economics 101.
If there's not many, couldn't Wizards just print more?

I think the highest demand cards right now are probably shocklands. Everyone is stocking up on them because of rotation and they are played in standard, EDH and Modern.

Speaking of that, I have a {Breeding Pool} and a {Godless Shrine} looking for a home.

I would have to say the true answer to this would be basic lands. That is the cardi have in the most of my decks.

My friend said the same thing today. I agree basics are pretty necessary, especially for newer players.

I disagree. Just because you use them, doesnt mean they are in demand. You get a free one in every pack and most players have more than they know what to do with.
