Why do you say that? I mean, ignoring all the things about Scars lands that zeckk said, because that's kinda not provable. But about the shock lands not going up.

He's not, at least not entirely. Most things with value rise a bit after they stop being drafted. I doubt shocks will rise until after rotation. But even then, it probably won't be more than a few bucks, supposedly RTR is the best selling set and Gatecrash is expected to sell well too, so shocks aren't as rare as they were the first time around. But they'll rise. As does pretty much everything with at least decent value after its out of print.

He is wrong on the drop a bit and stabilize part, and wrong about the Scars lands.

They might drop, but they will do the same thing Scars lands are doing, rise right back up. How bout filter lands? They dropped after rotation and look where they are now..

Are you serious? How many filter lands are played in modern? But I guess I wandered into a discussion where "you're wrong" is sufficient without any evidence whatsoever to back up your opinion. It's a fact that SOM fastlands are used in a wide number of competitive modern lists. It's also a fact that the SOM fastlands experienced the price path that I spoke about earlier. The SOM fastlands are the closest analog to the RTR shocks, hence my reference to them. This isn't rocket science.

I really wish the chart could go back 1 year further, but the earliest data starts at Jan 2011. Notice the spikes during the height of modern season. But go ahead spouting ignorance, internet stranger.

If you are so smart, what was the path of the Filter lands?

Modern is a fledgling baby of a format. Those filter lands will see play sooner or later because they're good lands.

I still see the filters as a great EDH option too because you can make 2 red with a Fire-Lit Thicket without access to a mountain. Really helps on a 3-5 color deck, with a bunch of color intensive things. That sort of thing seems to happen to me in a lot of my decks. I just wanna play turn 3 RR1 guy, and turn 4 Grave Pact, ya know? Gotta have a Cairns for that .

Also, SOM and RTR lands are nothing a like since RTR has been reprinted, and SOM was printed once, like the filters.

You just don't like reading, do you?

The difference between SOM fastlands/RTR shocklands and filter lands - Shocks and fastlands are played in modern, filterlands aren't (even jund is running fewer twilight mires once they started playing with lingering souls).

But let's look at twilight mire, since it's going to prove my point even further.

Why do more people not get this.

If anything the only comparison for RtR lands that isn't a dual (To old) are Pain Lands, but even then they are also old enough to predate a lot of the current pricing trends.

Actually, i WOULD recommend double aggro, because in 2HG, the opp team only has 30 life. This means each aggro deck only has to do 15 points of damage instead of the normal 20. Much easier feat to accomplish.

Yes, we played last night as a random pairing just because I anticipated a lot of drop-ins, which was apparently a good call, but we've already started the sign-ups for next month, so if people wait until the last minute it's their own fault.

I can confirm Guttersnipe is rough, he handed us our only loss last night. Mill is a possibility, but not sure if that's the direction I want to go. I like aggro, and was really bummed that I couldn't play my Jund deck last night because I got paired with someone who had too many shared lands, so I had to switch to Nderwife's tokens deck.
