In reply to Justin Smith. Yeah, me too! Fortunately that gave me time to pick up more of them.

One of my favorite cards; I always get a chuckle when players see it for the first time, read it, and conclude that it’s busted, especially when I tell them the ruling about cracking it at end of turn. I recurred it once with a card off the draw 7 and could’ve recurred it a 3rd time off the 2nd draw 7 but had already found my win con, fun times.

Considering a bunch of other Draw 7’s spiked when Nekusar first came out, I’m surprised it took this long for Memory Jar to take off.

In reply to Marco LP.

Thanks!

Yeah, the hype has now picked up, so it may very well move quicker than expected.

I picked up a Mercadian Masques shifted foil Diplomatic Immunity back when the set was still new, traded it for normal foil common value. Of the MM shifted foils I’ve seen it’s the worse shifted, the only Diplomatic Immunity and it has slight playability in Zur EDH. I doubt I’ll ever make a better spec than that. (It’d likely go for several hundred).

Awesome article. And congrats for your spec. Good Job.

I completely agree that Memory Jar could easily follow a Wheel of Fortune type of trend. Matter of fact, I think you may not have to wait that long to see it near the $30 range, since it is already approaching that price.

I’m personally sitting on 20 of them and I think it will turn out to be one of the best specs I’ve ever made.

Cheers!
