Given the availability of the card, somewhere in the 4-6 ticket range is the price I imagine it SHOULD settle at. It hit 10+ or however high it went because it was both in the best and second best deck when the best deck was not only difficult to interact with, but also pushed decks good against the second best deck out of the format.

From a quick search on MTGO it looks like you already lost a good amount of value from holding onto them this long, and given that Delver is MUCH easier to hate out than Fissure Post, I could easily see the card dropping further despite being in what is abstractly the best deck.

Thanks for the breakdown. Guess this means its time to sell on cloud of faeries? Or is it going to keep demand in mbc?

Affinity is good currently, and I don’t see these bannings stopping that. Delver of Secrets specifically is basically the only way that the blue decks beat it, and it has the largest threats for the lowest rate in the format. I see it as a very consistent 3-1 deck. As for the card Gorilla Shaman specifically, I can’t see many players justify dropping six tickets on him. He’s not just game over against Affinity, and often is less relevant than a mundane old Flame Slash.

Mono black is a little tougher. It’s extremely good against aggressive decks but blue decks just laugh at it. I think the biggest question is going to be how much of the metagame is going to be Delver. I’m predicting that Delver will be a sizable portion of the metagame, but monoblack will definitely be strong if you can beat everything else. UB Trinket control is also a deck that utilizes Crypt Rats, and I imagine that it will be very strong when the bans come into effect.

I’ve speculated in the past on lightly printed cards from these archetypes (like Gorilla Shaman and Crypt Rats) and was wondering if these decks might step up in the metagame following the bannings.
