There's been a lot of that type of spike/fall in Standard lately. Usually if the card remains popular outside of Standard, the prices just stay up until something else changes.

Someone asked him why Goblin Guide for example, didn't get reprinted, and Maro's response was rather enlightening. So, I feel less bad about stocking up on powerful/expensive cards.

It's a sound business strategy. When I used to play Yugioh I hated reprints in cheap secondary products. Why crash the value of powerful cards by making cheap intro decks when you can print 1-2 staples in expansion sets and make people buy more things?

True... very sad news. He passed away on Feb 10th. I met him at GenCon back in 1995 and he was just the nicest guy. In addition, Wayne England passed away on Feb 9th - hard to lose two great artists so close to one another.

Take it easy,

Holy crap! Wayne England died? I was a big fan of his artwork, had 1 copy foil and nonfoil of all his cards at one point. 2 great artists gone. *sad*.

Do I draw a card first then scry 2, or the other way around, scry 2 then draw a card?

So preordain, which is the opposite of serum visions is cheaper which lets you look at the top 2 cards and decide what order to put them in then draw a card is cheaper. That don't make sense to me. You'd think it would be the other way around in price value.

preordain, and ponder, are both much better. they also happen to have a bigger print run (more available), and they're banned in modern (near zero demand).

Worse again: my buddies that have picked it up are all playing Modern. While my duals and other old cards impress all these new adoptees, they don't actually help me play the game with people who won't touch legacy with a ten foot pole.

Where's the most sensible/reliable place these days to netdeck and decide what I want to invest in? Will also accept opinions of what you folks think are fun-to-play decks that aren't going to cost me a grand. I mean, I can (and did) just Google "top modern decks", but I don't know enough about the game these days to have any idea what's reliable advice and what isn't.
