I've been considering the possibility of wizards reprinting the shocklands in Innistrad, and I think there's a small chance of seeing the allied ones in the fall. Flavor wise, we have Bloodcrypt-vampires, Stomping Ground – Werewolves, Watery Grave-Zombies. Those all seem to fit, and are the confirmed tribes for those colour pairs. Temple Garden-? and Hallowed Fountain-Ghosts don't seem to fit as well in a gothic horror themed set.

Matt- Good call on the discrepancies on Shocklands, maybe not a chance to make much profit on MTGO if they've shot up that far, but if you plan to play the format, it may still be wise to get in on the ones you'll want to be playing with. I'm liking the thoughtseize move more and more as I think about it, as ripping apart hands is going to be the best way to defend against the degeneracy that will likely show its face in the formats infancy.

I do intend on revisiting this this week, and going deeper into the tank now that most of the obvious plays have been identified, and will hopefully emerge with some good buys.

Some of the Shocklands on MTGO are now close to the price of MED duals; Hallowed Fountain and Breeding Pool are selling for 20 tix. I think a lot of speculators have got on board with these, and I don't feel there's much value in them at the moment. Thoughtseize, on the other hand, hasn't budged since the announcement, still at around 7.5 tix. Last year's extended PTQ season saw Thoughtseize up to 20 tix, so I think there's lots of potential yet in the staples on MTGO, but you have to look a bit deeper than the shocklands.

I already spread myself thin between Standard, Legacy (albeit much slower than Standard), and EDH which I've finally started getting that under control too. Right now I'm just going to take the wait and see approach. If enough events start to spark my interest I might have to throw down into it too.
