It's a triple cocktail of situational solutions! Saves eight sideboard slots in the case that all three such times are relevant!

Also Aura.dec won a Standard GP

EDIT: Blind Obedience is bonkers, easily a 10$+ card and 4 of staple in anything W/X control....

Players with a bit more discretionary income might have another standard or extended deck, perhaps a well-tuned powerhouse legacy deck, but very few players hoover up cards to build anything they wanted the way I remember myself and most other players I knew doing back in the US.

With all the price spikes and price volatility these days, when it feels like I'm missing the boat on so many interesting cards I understand more and more why Czechs typically concentrate on just a few decks.

This article by Chas Andres: http://www.starcitygames.com/article/25324_World-War-M.html only serves to fuel my general perception that the days of being able to wait and affordably pick up cards post-rotation or before they gain traction in older formats are over. To be sure my original thesis is not in alignment with an article on counterfeiting and collapsing price bubbles, though it deflates me nonetheless.

And you lot? What do think about these new days where the strangest of things you were looking to obtain 'eventually for a fun deck' shoots out of nowhere and becomes unappealing in price?

I don't think it really happens that often - it's more a confirmation bias as a result of players being more aware of the metagame than they were before. What DOES bug me is the inconsistency of price decay for cards that have fallen out of favor.

It's not impossible to get in on a card before it blows up, but the waiting after the hype hits a card price is unbelievably long now.

My guess for that is no one wants to miss out on the next flash in the pan and maintain inflated prices to cover themselves. It probably doesn't help that StarCityGames has become such a dominant force in card valuation online. Here in Prague the same effect occurs from 'Cerny Rytir'. (Black Knight / cernyrytir.cz if you want to look)

Depending on what you consider a good price, I just might be interested myself.

It's MTGsalv you actually expect common sense from there?

Also Tombs at 3, Vamp tutor at 5, he basically wants stuff at like a 4th of it's value.

The card seems more Boros or Azorius than Ohrzov except for the addition of Extort. Tapping things is traditionally a blue thing and tapping all creatures has often been done by red (ex. Thundermaw Hellkite). I actually like that it's 1W instead of BW so that it has the option of going into a WR or UW deck and still being fairly useful.

At least it's a better rumor than the one someone was mentioning at our store that WotC was going to ban white-bordered cards from tournament play.

Similar enchantments from magic's past:
R - Ashling's Prerogative
U - Frozen Aether (color shifted version of Kismet)
W - Kismet
R - Uphill Battle

Actually red only taps lots of creatures when the ability is tacked onto a huge hasty beater.
