Sorry if that means you have to, I don't know, face actual matches you might see at your local events. Forgive me for not having the time to solve the metagame with my own original creations. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

Wait what? Straight up non-foil Dazes? That's a little lopsided. __________________ PMs don't work in Chrome or Firefox 4.0+, see HERE for work arounds.

The funny thing is that is 3-4 months it will be a better deal for your trade partner.

Important question.This weekend I'm playing in a casual legacy tournament. I decided I'm playing Dark Rituals. My favorite Dark Rit is the Phyrexian vs Coalition Dark Rits (Urza's saga art, new border). But I only own two. Do I round out the playset with two saga Rituals or do I go for consistant border and use two divine vs Demonic (5th art, new border).

I doubt that Snapcaster Mage will be an $8-10 card.

Play with your four favorite Dark Rituals. I follow the same rules for basic lands. I don't feel a need to have them ALL the same, just play the ones you like the best.

What was the last rare in standard that stayed high?

Stoneforge Mystic (pre-banning) and the Zendikar fetchlands were all around that price, IIRC.Those were all rares that were good across multiple formats. Snapcaster Mage is unlikely to dip below $10 until at least after it rotates out of Standard. By the time the next set comes out, it might dip below $20, but I doubt it'll go below $10.

Snapcaster is insane in legacy and is doing pretty well for itself in standard. It might hold pretty well for quite a while. I kinda felt it would be about half of what it is now, but after seeing it in legacy, I'm not so sure on that.

I know snapcaster is a good card, but being a good card isnt enough to keep a card that expensive.Supply and demand play an extremely important part so the more Innistrad that is being opened the lower the price is going to fall, which is why we won't see a rare stay higher then $10. Noble Hierarch and Maelstrom Pulse were both in set's that werent opened as much because there werent any big time planeswalkers that were needed, which is why their price tag stayed high.

When will people understand that Snapcaster sets NEW standards to rare card prices. It is ridiculous in most formats. It will never go below $10.

Legacy players are not exactly screaming for a playset of Maelstrom Pulse, Noble Hierarch OR Stoneforge Mystic. Even if the last 2 are Legacy playables. Snapcaster Mage is a STAPLE already in Legacy, and probably Vintage too.

Hierarch and SFM are, for the moment, more widely played and playable than Snapcaster Mage. Snapcaster is not a staple yet: it's just a very good card that will get better as new sets are printed. Odds are it will go down in value a little for a while before shooting up again as the result of a new set. It needs a regular home in one or more decks before it can really be considered a staple. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

Snapcaster is also the first in a set. You can't compare with noble, sfm, or pulse. You have to compare with Fetches, ratchet bomb, and scars duals (they have a lot of value now).I don't even think M12 gets opened as much as the first in a block. Snapcaster is a good card and if he becomes too much of a problem Planar Void could get some love as it deals with goyfs, knights, loam, crucible, reanimator as well.

There were alot of snapcasters in this past weeks SCG legacy event.Also it is bonkers, i was playing a BUG build this week and using it and bob i may drop green. Tarm is good but these 2 creatures just disrupt and give advantage so much. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

Don't people already play leyline in their sideboards? Planar void just seems worse than Leyline. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

Seems like people on MOTL are finally willing to sell their Liliana's for $50 now that they are $40 on eBay.
