MTGO play-testing for tournaments is likely why it’s really only the good cards that will recover.

I agree with the idea that it looks like the bots are doing most of the buying. I also think it’s quite possible that once they get their fill, we’ll see prices drifting down over the summer. It’s strange to see a non redeemable set get drafted so much and then prices increase. Something has got to give eventually, unless I am seriously underestimating interest in Modern constructed.

The weirdest thing is that a lot of card are now over their average price and poeple still buys them like it was the best price they ever saw. Bob is not a bad buy at 18, but I have seen him a lot Under 18 during off season….

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like there may be a huge spike in MMA drafting this weekend during the GP? People watch it on the stream and get excited and go play it? If this is true, maybe the time to buy would be early next week when the hype from the GP has died down and people cash in their rares.

To be honest, that part of the article was written before we could witness such a price increase, instead of a decline. We changed the intro. In theory we all expected a price weakness for Bob, Clique and Tarmo. As I said in the article, I’m personnally convinced it’s not a matter of having tons of players trying to complete their sets at the same time. Rather, I’m pretty sure major bot chains are competing to grab as many copies as possible, to maximize their profits in-season.Pretty much the same strategy we witnessed with Misty Rainforest and Scalding Tarn for paper cards, when the market got wiped out completely over a single week-end, almost intanstly doubling their price.

Yeah I do think storm deck will be back in modern…I saw few list in dailies and last modern premier was won by a storm deck. The deck is good rigth now, because there is few hate card and it,s unexpected…

About figure of destiny, I don’t know…if zoo can do it again, I guess maybe, but if you can buy at really low cost now, it for sure will rebound.

I top choices would be: Gifts Ungiven, Kataki, Blood Moon, Chalice of the Void, Figure of Destiny.

Another card you did not mentioned and that I was paying attention for a while now is Manamorphose. This card (a common!) went up to 2+ Tix several time, and appear in every combo deck that use free spells, storm, draw/cycling…

It is an unco in MM. I don’t know how many copies you would need to significantly decrease its price by 2, and that will still be 1+ Tix card in high modern season.

It can be found at .35Tix now.
