And now it’s $120. Like I said, there hasn’t been much to any movement in the big Rares/Mythics, and now we see it going the other way. The C/U, though, like I said, are bottoming out and it’s a great time to pick them up.

Spellskite is a good one for sure. I think the Uncommons are safe because we’ve seen the $10+ precedent with Spell Snare last season, and I don’t think there’s any way you lose money getting on these at current prices because even if a small reprint comes along (would have to be in an ancillary product) you can get rid of them for what you got them at.

I think it will likely be in one of these side products, but there’s not a ton of space for it to show up before Modern season.

When Melira was regarded as the worst version of Pod, Primeval Titan wasn’t seeing any play, the Legend rule affecting Thrun wasn’t out and Remand was a “shoo-in” for Modern Masters?

IMO Remand is not reprintable. WOTC has said multiple times it is to powerful for standard. If they did reprint it it would be in a CMDR or Planechase product and would have little to no effect on the price.

My buy list is: Dark confidant, Vendilion clique, scapeshift, prismatic omen, splinter twin and kiki-jiki. I also really like spellskite.

For the uncommons, if you need them to play, I’d get them, otherwise it’s a bit too dangerous.

I know WOTC has apparently gone on record saying that it’s too strong for standard but I can’t imagine they won’t figure out some way to increase supply prior to January. Maybe a 2-of in a duel deck? Seems too obvious of an omission from MM for them to not have had a plan for this card. Thoughts?
