Personally, I will not be able to play a lot of magic during this upcoming summer break, so I am trying to get rid of a lot of my innistrad stuff for ravnica things. However, I don't know exactly what I should be trying to pick up. I feel like Gideon and Duskmantle seer may be solid pick ups after a few more weeks of dipping but what else are cards that may be prevalent in the next standard. I know this is all speculation and we don't know what will get printed, I just want rough ideas. Thanks for the help!

Sphinx Rev Vraska (so cheap atm, maybe junk, but still probably jumps to ~10 at some point) and Lotleth Dreadbore Obzedat Aurelia's fury and the GR x spell (can't think of the name sadly) TrostaniAlmost all of these feel like they will see a nice increase at some point post rotation.

I want to say supreme verdict and mizzium mortars because innistrad block will take a lot of sweepers with it when it goes. Ravnica has been light on mass kill.

Gyre Sage is delicious Aggro and ramp. I definitely think it's going up and I called Reckoner going to 30 when it was at 7.

Second the guy who said sphinx's revelation. It's THE control card at mythic rarity. And once rav is out of print it's not getting any lower.

I was thinking of picking up some clan defiance, but those things are like a worse version of profane command and profane command was only good for like a week while it was standard legal

Profane command was played widely off and on by aggro, midrange, and control. It was certainly not big only for a week.

How is a terrible fireball even a thought? Take your pick on which one I'm talking about, my view is the same, both are unplayable garbage.quote: Originally posted by 2austin5: How do you guys feel about duskmantle see?
good card needing a home. I've toyed around w/ some ideas, but nothing that makes me want to go run and buy 4 yet.

Terrible Fireball? A Clan Defiance for 3 (3gr) to 3 legit targets is still 5 mana. A fireball for 3 legit targets cost 3r then 1 and 3 more, then 1 and 3 more. Thats 12 mana. ~MM Edit: Or do you mean Aurelia's Fury? __________________ Blah, blah, blah werewolf. Smackity-smack not a werewolf. Suspicious of this fruit loop.

Lets hope he's not talking about Aurelia's Fury. That card is far superior to a mere Fireball.

I actually am thinking of picking up Furies soon, should I wait for them to dip more or is now the time to buy in?

What about any ISD pick ups? Foil Snappies are $55. I can definitely see that going to 100 when ISD rotates out.

cards dont go up when they rotate from standard. they go up when they get older, and when they stop getting printed/opened. ISD has stopped getting opened, and cards have pretty much peaked. at best, they will hold value, and at worst, they will crash when they rotate. a few years down the line, sure, i expect them to be higher than their current price. but they wont magically go UP when they rotate. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Foil versions of some of the power uncommons, like Dreg Mangler, Burning Tree Emissary, Lyev Skyknight, etc.Personally, I've been hoarding Mizzium Mortars and Loxodon Smiters.

That completely depends on their applications.Cards that rule standard, but see very little eternal play obviously will drop, but eternal staples (such as snapcaster) will most certainly hold value - at least for their foil versions

Why mizzium mortar? seems hard for it to go up with reckoners around

Uh oh... Guys, I wouldn't listen to Marlo. He's been proven wrong in a discussion on another thread, which by his own rules makes him a terrible player, a bad person, and someone who should thoroughly be ignored. Sorry everyone

I guess if I were like you and never have an opinion about anything then I will never be wrong. Hhindsight trolling people that had the guts to say what's on their mind is what you do best, and I can't really think of anyone else on this community that can replace you. So cheers to you being you

I'd comment about how I hit a nerve if you weren't a total rhymes with runt to everyone on this site anyways.  What does everyone think about the loss of enemy checklands post rotation? Will the hit in fixing do enough to discourage 3-color wedge decks like BUG or UWR? (I mean UWR'll be losing bonfire and Geist as well, so that archetypes collapse probs won't just be due to lands...) __________________ It is a known fact that more Americans watch the television than any other appliance.

Bugger and Marlo, please don't troll from another thread into mine. If you want to troll each other then PM each other, I just want to keep this as a healthy discussion for predictions, whether they are right or wrong doesn't matter, its just to see what people think, Thank you.
