In reply to yuka. Yeah DRS is definitely going to take a hit, but will bounce back in a few years. I wouldn't bother buying up copies now even at $5 though. I'd probably wait for him to leave Standard and then acquire a few. Remember, a TON of RtR was opened due to its popularity.

In reply to yuka. And I think it's still a buy at $5 or below, even though I already bought a lot at $12.

Well, I’m definitely pretty unhappy about the banning of Deathrite Shaman. It also won’t be easy to go back since Bitterblossom is unbanned – those two cards together would give so much value in Modern Jund. I’m gonna hold onto my Shamans though, for god knows how long.

In reply to pi.

LOL I already have a few Avacyn Restored boxes, myself. I won’t be buying more, but for those who fear they’ve missed the jumps on Avacyn and Griselbrand this is a safe alternative.

But you’re right – it’s difficult for me to advocate moving heavily into boxes while I have so much precious space taken up by them. To be fair though we did move from an apartment into a house, so we DO have SOME more space to work with. But I doubt the wife would appreciate it if I purchase many more of these. 🙂

“My play: consider sealed boxes of Avacyn Restored, which should attract the attention of angel collectors and casual players as singles like Avacyn and Griselbrand get more expensive.”

Did you move into a house with a lot more storage space? 😉
