Agreed. This is the kind of stuff that gives PucaTrade a bad reputation and makes everything think the users are just out there scum everyone. Really disappointed to see this on QS.

Hence the “Legacy/EDH” wording…

Recurring Nightmare isn’t banned in legacy….but it is banned in EDH (where it would be stupidly broken).

Tithe

Deranged Hermit

Humility

Karn, Silver Golem

Treachery

Intuition

Wheel of Fortune

Dream Halls

Time Spiral

Recurring Nightmare

Shallow Grave

Survival of the Fittest

Illusions of Grandeur

Yawgmoth’s Bargain

Yawgmoth’s Will

Academy Rector

Replenish

Serra’s Sanctum

Tolarian Academy

Yavimaya Hollow

Anvil of Bogardan

Memory Jar

Metalworker

Lake of the Dead

Thawing Glaciers

Kjeldoran Outpost

Stuff like Survival of the Fittest, Earthcraft, and Recurring Nightmare could also see spikes if they ever see unbannings in Legacy/EDH.

Ya…I had some kind person do this for me when Arboria spiked….I wanted it when it was a $3.50 uncommon for weeks with no interest…then some jackass bought out TCG player, spiked it to $40 but luckily someone “traded it to me” to pull it off my want list then canceled the trade (after messaging me). Also, I called out Scorched Ruins with my “colorless primer” prior to Oath and it was $3.30 (not under a dollar) Peacekeeper was also a key sideboard card in the old Maverick decks in legacy and was also not under $1 (it too was around $3-4)

How is this different from the splinter twin banning, when hundreds of people shipped twins out to unsuspecting pucatraders before they could react? Since the relationship between traders on this site and that between merchants and customers is inherently different, I would suggest the ethical thing to do is to message your prospective receiver and make sure they’re aware of the spike.
