In reply to Corbin Hosler. Indeed. Pay little attention to those cheapskates. The subscription fee is easily paid for if you read regularly and use just a fraction of the QS writers' advice. Thanks for another good article.

Thanks for helping in figuring out “The Impact of FTV: 20 on Jace”. I was really looking forward an article about this issue 🙂

In reply to maxiewawa. Thanks :) That subreddit is overrun with people who instinctively are against anything that costs money, and they just try to rationalize after that. Some of the things I see said in that forum, frankly, make me very sad. Not necessarily for the trolls, but for the newbies who may miss out on good information or lose money because it's hard to discern which is which. That's why the QS forums are so great.

I don’t have anything constructive to add, but on a side note…

I had a look around the mtgo finance subreddit, and a lot of people were slagging off QS, and saying that it was written by amateurs etc. (Is ‘slagging off’ slang only where I come from?)

I bring it up because it’s articles and discussions like these that prove them wrong; I have no idea if Corbin is right or not, but he’s put a lot of thought into it, and has put his considered opinion.

Keep up the good work QS writers.

In reply to Ram Palaniappan. First off, thanks! I think they'll continue trending downward for a little bit at least, and I wouldn't blame you for pulling the trigger on that Jace. That said, I think it may go down even further in the next month before rebounding, so whether you get in now or in a month I think you're going to be in at a good price come a year or two from now.

In reply to CHARLES KONG.

I’m doing well, thanks!

I think the foil ones are going to dip and probably stay low for six months or so, at which point they’ll begin their climb back up.

As for fetches, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see them climb up toward $60-70 at this point. If Fulminator Mage can push past $25, there’s basically no ceiling on fetches. And I don’t think there’s going to be reprints for a little while, so there’s nothing but upside for now.

Great article as always. I noticed FTV 20 BINs are down to 250 (and have been on a downward trajectory).

As these continue to go down it makes it a bit easier to obtain jace (not that there will be any more copies but the price to entry is lower). However the current Jace can be had for under 90 on ebay, would you consider that a buy? (I have 3 and looking to round out a playset!)

Hey Corbin, How are you?, I believe that Jace will probably be effected short term as you said and climb back up, the ceiling is definitely lower now, but how would you factor in pre orders from 250-400 on to the foil ww version? I’m guessing that there’s a possibility the dip is super short term, like goyf but you never know. What’s your impression on the zen fetches?, blues ones are running into the 50s and it’s not even modern season, it’s only a matter of time before scg raises them again, i believe if they dont get reprinted by the modern season after next they could tie the legacy ones and eventually surpass them because of the demand snowballing with this new eternal format. They are used way more in legacy and only available in modern with a growing crowd and the bubble could be permanent till the reprint if they do do it.
