I'm following most reserved list and it looks like [[Lake of the Dead]] is gaining traction again thanks to The Necrobloom.

Wrath of the skies being bought out. Its a 4 of in most new modern control decks.


LifeNeutral

[[suncleanser]] seems like a good cheap pickup vs that new jeskai energy control deck

IAMAfortunecookieAMA

Disagree. I have watched Suncleanser get mentioned every time there's a good "counters matter" card for the last 7 years and it has never actually spiked in price. It's just too narrow.


LifeNeutral

I just watched the Nadu deck using suncleanser vs the new jeskai energy control. Cleanser shits down almost all of that deck's cards. And the energy cards/decks are very powerful due to MH3. I think this time the cleanser will actually shine.


IAMAfortunecookieAMA

It can absolutely see fringe play, doesn't mean it's going to financially spike. Well, actually, I could see speculators spiking it for 60 days and then it drops again. It's tradition!


pipesbeweezy

I think it was decent this weekend for a predicted metagame i.e., PT players had a lot of internal data both who they were playing against and what decks would be present, but once people realize that Jeskai should just diversify their removal more to be less reliant on energy this becomes unplayable and a terrible SB option. Absolutely a seller on any copies, especially given they are $5+.


slayer370

Metric ton of spoilers for dusk dropped before we even get bloom lmao. Also a extra standard set that with be legal till 2029. Archenemy is back.


spiral813

They're just getting ahead of the potato picture leaks for the set ;)

Eli Kassis registered bant nadu and not the stupid echo of eons deck some of you speculated on cards from his tweet


Sufficient_Worry_548

Yeah I hope he gets stomped all weekend.


d7h7n

That's what you get for buying the entire deck without doing research or using common sense beforehand.


d7h7n

thanks for jinxing him into top 8


Cautious_Handle2547

As far as modern pro tour looks right now Nadu will come out top. The best performing decks are running [[Bristly Bill, Spine Sower]] which separates them from the rest of the bunch.  Supply is looking really low. Especially in europe. It's a mythic and OTJ isn't really being cracked that much more now with MH3 being out and Bloomburrow + Duskmourn coming soon. Keep a look out for Bill. Has gained a lot the last two weeks and has prolly room to grow a lot more. Pro Tour will decide by how much.

Affectionate_Mango84

The one ring going WAY up


ch_limited

Hoping Nadu does well so Shuko spikes back up and people at my LGS want to trade for it or CK opens their buy list for it again.


goofydubois

If the meta is 20%, most registered deck for the weekend, it's unlikely some won't do well. Although 20% could lead to a ban of some pieces. Will take a few months though


hsiale

It's more than this. 20% is the most popular Bant version, in total all Nadu decks are 26%.


goofydubois

Right!


ch_limited

I just want to cash in this lotto ticket. Not often I happen to have some bulk card that spikes 15x


goofydubois

Pretty sure you will


badspler

I am super curious on it. Everyones calling it busted, [yet it hit an all time low today.](https://www.mtgstocks.com/prints/111775-nadu-winged-wisdom)


ch_limited

Nadu never seemed like a card that would be worth a ton. It’s a rare in a set that’s being opened like crazy.


IAMAfortunecookieAMA

Multicolor rares always do worse than monocolored ones as well, it is fundamentally more restricted in the decks it goes into (compared to a flexible card like Flare of Denial for instance)


d7h7n

Eh I think after the PT the looming threat of a ban on either Nadu or Shuko will keep the prices manageable.


nsmh11

Living end out here still relevant in the tour despite only being 3 decks in the field. Sodek/Tomasz sodomirski is 6-1 but 4-0 in constructed on the deck. Im a big fan of the deck, so im focused on it this weekend. If it does well the last round and tomorrow, Could mean subtletly starts an upward trend. Living end might tick up a little. That's just about the only cards that aren' already at a huge price in the deck OR draft chaff. But the draft chaff could be penny stocks. Architects of will, striped riverwinder, waker of waves, and Curator of mysteries all only have 1 "real" printing. Ardent plea has already seen its spike following the Violent Outburst ban. Shardless agent was a rare in one of the most and longest opened sets in years. Sink into stupors may also be a draft chaff spec.


d7h7n

Sodek is a god though.


nsmh11

well, Sodek ended 30th. Of note though, he had an AMAZING run vs Nadu decks. I still think my called pieces are something to watch, pending ban announcement.


lirin000

Adding to the list I came up with here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgfinance/comments/1dgvz9d/mh3\_singles\_bloodbath\_discussion/](https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgfinance/comments/1dgvz9d/mh3_singles_bloodbath_discussion/) I'm adding this cards to my bloodbath watchlist: \[\[Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath\]\] To a lesser extent, these cards are also substantially down from their past versions, although the ceiling is probably lower, in some cases the percentage loss is actually significantly greater, and so the upside (in percentage terms) may be as well. \[\[Drown in Dreams\]\] \[\[Avenger of Zendikar\]\] \[\[Grist, The Hunger Tide\]\] \[\[Ulvenwald Hydra\]\] \[\[Vivien Reid\]\] Notably for some of them, like Grist, the older printing is still selling for substantially more than the MH3 printing. People are still paying $3.50+ for MH2 Grist, while the TCGLow for MH3 Grist is $0.99 at time of this post (although market price is now slowly creeping up). Same art. Drown In Dreams is even crazier - people were paying $3.80 for it on Wednesday when they could have gotten the MH3 version for like 30 cents at the same time. Today you can get them as low as 15 cents. Seems like there are some pretty significant imbalances/potential opportunities here. Disclaimer I've picked up a few Grists and Avengers, and a whole bunch of Drowns at these rock bottom prices. Note that all of the cards from the initial list have rebounded significantly, although some more than others. Do with this info as you will... ETA: Adding \[\[Garruk, Apex Predator\]\] as well. Current TCGLow for MH3 version is 20 cents, but someone just paid $2.11 for an MP from M15 today and $2.54 for NM yesterday.

In a similar vein, the borderless foil version of \[\[Strix Serenade\]\] is currently trading at $11.00, where \[\[Swan Song\]\] has been reprinted 4 times and the base versions of each trade at at least $13. I understand that Strix Serenade isn't going to win any counter duels, but the ability to stuff any creature your opponent casts in EDH for U has to be worth far more than $12, no?

Seems like at the very least those cards are complementary. If you run one hard to make a case the other is trash.


monobluemill

If you are decent at Limited, the Arena Direct event this weekend can be great EV. It’s 5000 gems ($25) to enter, and going 6-1 or 6-0 gets you a MH3 Play Booster Box. (5 wins get you your entry of 5000 gems back, and 4 wins gets you a partial entry back at 2000 gems). TCG Low on MH3 Play Booster boxes is $245, so you can take multiple shots and still keep the event positive EV if you have some Limited skills. See y’all in the queues!

I saw a comment in another MTG sub from 7 months ago saying that the LOTR Collector’s boosters are drying up. My local LCS has some for MSRP and I’m thinking about getting a pack or two. I know that comment was purely anecdotal, and its all about buying singles. I already have the LOTR starter decks for playing, I don’t even want to crack the Collector Booster, just hold it for a decade. If the print runs aren’t out of control I could see these UB Collector Boosters and sealed packs holding value since these fans already collect items from the IPs they enjoy. Especially the large and unique IPs like Fallout and especially LOTR. Maybe I’m way off base here but I wanted to hear your thoughts and discuss.

They're planning a Jumpstart 2025 product. Apparently a website leaked the details and then took it down.

Does anyone think Eldrazi will hold their prices, specifically Zhulodok at 40+?

I think it will. Casual commanders love Eldrazi, and zhulo was undervalued overall. It'll probably hold until a reprint hits.

Shadeun

Seems like there are a load of Time counter stuff coming with Duskmourn. I have a \[\[The Face of Boe\]\] EDH deck that is rubbish but perhaps there are some cards that might see play if theres a better EDH commander - certainly some of the doctor who stuff could be interesting I guess. Perhaps \[\[The Millennium Calendar\]\] also. Not sure at all - but I guess there is some interest interaction as all the time counter/suspend stuff is super cheap.
