Perfect timing. After lorwyn rotates, the new extended could take off, since its just gonna be big standard

all kinds of caw-blade action... o wait, thats the reason I don't play standard. I tried the deck, found it way too boring for my likes yet I don't feel like playing substandard decks, so I play EDH or draft. Problem solved.

That's me except I also refuse to pay $1000 for a T2 deck.

As soon as I saw all the Stoneforges for sale in the TA forum knew something was up.

Goblin Guide was printed in an event deck and didn't take that much of a hit.I don't see Stoneforge dropping below 10. __________________ Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

2 Goblin Guides =/= 24.99 This deck however also has a Mirrian Crusader plus a couple other $1 rares. I see Stoneforges settling in around $7-8 before the rotation. __________________ <Jazaray> LIQ! <Jazaray> you broke MOTL <Liq> totally <BoltBait> Don't make me kick you <Slinga> Have no fear, MOTL's janitor is here! <nderdog> So we're all agreed, it's Liq's fault, right? <Leshrac> let me deal with that * Liq has been banned

It's lost about a third of it's value, that's a big hit for a card that hasn't even rotated yet. Stoneforge will be 10 or less because people will be better off buying the Event Decks rather than paying more. Reprinting always hurts card values in the long run.

Since this won't be a limited print run. And people really do get the idea to hoard them all. Why can't Wizards print more, or why won't they print more? why didn't they print more Rat decks when kamigawa was out? ANy ideas?

Lol Mr.C is asking about the group P2P post to have a good laugh (P2P is ridiculous because you are trying to justify blatantly ripping ppl off in trades) and of course you chime in about wanting to try P2P... it's very fitting.

jitte was a whole different story. Wizards didn't even know how good the card was. In play testing it only added 1 counter but was very weak. At the last second they switched it to 2 counters, but didn't have time to test. Players didn't catch on right away to jitte either. Printing this stuff up is done months and months in advance, so given no one knew anything about that card, there was no reason to have enough available. Stoneforge is being played in every format, but standard has it being played in nearly every deck. Standard is where the price is being driven from. Given that popular standard cards that are up for rotation are already dropping (see: Jace tms), I don't see this deck being the reason why stoneforge drops.This deck will be useful to pick up stoneforges for a month or so, then it will be over priced.

Sorry, I didn't mean "rip" as in not sending/pretending they didn't receive/etc. What I meant is that ppl doing P2P expect extra value in trades and justify it simply because they are "doing P2P."

They didn't just print more because the theme decks came in a box of 12. They couldn't just put out boxes of rat's nest decks.

Duals, FoW, Wastland, Fetch Lands are all a good place to start. That aren't $100+ yet. (other then a minty UnSea)

Formats for community cup announced. Could modern be another chance for wizards to fix extended. Seems like a good opportunity to test the format and get input.
