Actually GG on MTGO is reflecting that it’s still available in a PRECON deck in the MTGO store at a set price so it caps it’s possible high point.

This is true, Modern has been very weak in the last year, overall. However there are cards like Ensnaring Bridge and Blood Moon that have seen new highs in the past year.

I think we’ve moved from a period of strong growth where it was hard to make a mistake in speculating, to a period where winners and losers are more spread out. It’s definitely more challenging to speculate on Modern as a result.

For me, the mistake I have to avoid is buying too soon or at an elevated price. My best specs occur when there is clearly a panic going on, or there is some repercussion from a banning, or I am buying in the Fall when everything is depressed. Week to week, month to month, the good buying opportunities are few and far between, so I need to work on my patience and to be ‘ok’ with having tix that are not being deployed.

Goblin Guide has been hit by the same reprints as the ZEN fetchlands, so I think it’s got an excellent chance at a recovery over the next 8 months. I think this is a fine card to be a buyer of once MM3 events start up. I’d wait until the end of the first week, and then start to pick off the cheapest copies and then stop buying when you get your fill.
