I love my subs… and I did all the
work for you guys… Next time I’ll design a better contest promise. Anyways these are my comments. The winner was ________ at the end.
Had a lot of fun with this. The SCG prices 2-4pm Texas time on January 18th 2013. Will make a video and hold another one, but with better rules.
Standard:
Somberwald Sage (Foil) - $4.99 I'm thinking G/R ramp aggro gonna be big!
Modern:
Bloodbraid Elf (Foil) - $3.99
Will you
make an acception for my modern selection? Pleaseeeeee
First off I LOVE bloodbraid. However Somberwald Sage Foil is still at 4.99
so no movement there. And even foil only
went up 25% to 4.99. Elite you are
winning at the moment with a 25% increase.
Modern:
Birthing Pod $2.99
Standard:
Lilly of the Dark Realms $9.99
Somebody
took bonfire :'(
Interesting picks…. For sure. Birthing pod went up to 3.99 which is a 33%
increase (next however I did say cards worth more than 5 dollars; the reasoning
is that cards lower than that get bigger increases; but I believe we discussed
this so it is okay). And Lilly is up at
14.99 which is a 50% increase…. SO GOOD JOB.
Lilly was really unexpected. An
amazing 83% increase.
Standard:
Geralf's Messenger $7.99
Modern:
Flooded Grove $14.99
ZOMBIES have not moved. Geralf’s messenger didn’t get the message and
crawled in place. While flooded groove
is now 19.99, a whooping 33% increase.
Modern Masters who?
standard:
Sphinx's revelation 21.99
Modern:
Deathrite Shaman 11.99
I like this guys moxy picking the
Revelation. But it has not moved. The shaman however has moved 6 dollars, up to
17.99 which is a 33% increase. So
Teamtaco still in the lead with 83% .
Standard -
Detention Sphere (Non-Foil) - $4.99
Modern -
Remand (Ravnica - Non-Foil) - $5.99
Two blue cards I love… to play
with. J Detention sphere has dropped to 2.99 (good time to pick
up)… so a 40% lost. And remand stayed
the same… so a net lost… L
Standard:
Deathrite Shaman - $11.99
Modern:
Vengevine - $17.99
Lol… how many times did people pick
shaman and I didn’t notice. I’ll have
better rules next time. Shaman is up
33%. And Vengevine did not move… even
though it has haste…
standard:
champion of the parish 4.99
modern:
verdant catacombs 19.99
Champion did not move at all. But verdant surprisingly is 25… when will the
madness end? A decent 25% increase from
Liam.
Standard:
Garruk Relentless 14.99
Modern:
Threads of Disloyalty 4.99
I really like threads here. And I was surprised it remained the same
exact price… weird. Not surprised to see that Garruk didn’t
move. No net change.
Standard: Huntmaster
of the Fells $24.99
Modern:
Fauna Shaman $4.99
The Huntmaster was smart. However because of the large initial price
even a 29.99 huntmaster is only a 25% increase.
The riskier card Shaman is still stuck at 4.99, no love for the
shaman/vengevine combo in modern.
·
Standard;
Clifftop Retreat, $9.99
Modern;
Ethersworn Canonist $9.99
Nice pick with the clifftop… as it
is now 14.99 which is a whooping 50% increase.
Nice indeed. However the cannoist
did not move.. stuck at 10 dollars.
·
Modern
:Marsh Flats 19.99
Standard:
Vault of the Archangel Set 9.96
To be honest I’m not sure what set
means… I’m guessing it is foil? And I’m
surprised the flats remained the same price.
The foil vault is 5.99. But again
what is a set?
·
Modern-Lotus
Cobra (4.99)
Standard-Thalia,
Guardian of Thraben (7.99)
Seems fun.
Thanks for doing this. Happy Holidays!
There’s my girl. Thalia.
Has gone down.. to 6.99 what the heck is going on. I clearly have no idea what happened. Lotus cobra pumped up a dollar…to 5.99 though.
Before I
give my formal response, here's a bonus: Quirion Dryad. With the release of
Simic in Gatecrash, I think that there will be a 3-color tempo deck with it.
Standard:
Supreme Verdict $5
Modern:
Verdant Catacombs $20
Supreme verdict went down as did
most of the RtR predictions. However
Catacombs went up 25%.

Me filling in the gaps. As Angel of serenity drops 3 dollars and
sword remains the same. A net loss for
my friend crazy.
sword of
war and peace is 11.99 SCG

Love both of these picks. The sword however did not move at all. And Jace well he went down 2 dollars.
Modern-
Aburpt Decay (6.99)
Standard -
Armada Wurm (6.99)
Helios is never one to read or
listen to my instructions, picking two RtR cards… I don’t even need to look… lol. Okay I’ll look. Wow abrupt decay is back at 6.99. And the wurm… only 4.99 for this proud mythic
card.
Modern -
Valakut, the Molten Pinnaclee (foil): 5.99
Standard -
Lotleth Troll (foil): 9.99
Foil valakut, still only 5.99. And the troll…. Continues to plummet… and is
now a 6.99 foil.
Modern -
Path to Exile (nonfoil) : $5.99 SCG
Standard -
Isolated Chapel (nonfoil) : $7.99 SCG
Doesn’t matter what path I choose
they are all only at 5.99. However the
chapel… sold out at 11.99 which is a 50% increase. Not bad at all.
Modern:
Blackcleave cliffs 5.00
Standard
Jace Architect of thought 15.00
Cliff is now at 6 so a 20%
increase. Jace… 16 so a mild profit. And I’m getting sleepy…
modern-
Gitaxian probe (pack foil) 6.9
Standard-
Ajani caller of the pride (normal) 14.99
G Probe… sounds weird to call it
that.. lol. Anyways went down in price
to 5.99. While ajani is back down to
11.99. ummm sliverblade anyone?
Clifftop
Retreat (9.99$) - Standard
Snapcaster
Mage (24.99$) - Modern
Love clifftop which is at 14.99 a
50% increase. Sooo close… snappy is
still at 24.99.
Standard:
Rest in Peace (foil) 9.99
Modern:
Crucible of Worlds (nonfoil) 29.99
·
No change on the RIP foil. And we really have to ask ourselves… what
type of modern deck is seeknayr playing that he needs a 30 dollar crucible of
the worlds? The pricy card has remained
the same.
Standard:
Champion of the parish 4.99
Modern:
Inquisition of khozilek 5.99
oops ill
change my modern to misty rainforest 34.99
No movement on both. Or the inquisition… arghh…
Blood
Cyprt(Standard) : SCG 9.99
Tamiyo,
the Moon Sage (Mordern) : SCG 24.99
No movement on the crypt and my poor
empress is now a 20 dolalr card.
Olivia
Voldaren (Non-foil) : 12.99
Cryptic
Command (Non-Foil) : 19.99
Olivia still at 12.99. The command at 25.. not bad at all.
Standard,
Bonfire of the damed ($24.99)
Modern,
AEther Vial ($17.99)
We've all
seen how bonfire can get when a meta filled with zombies spiked, I feel history
will repeat itself.
As for the
vial, I feel just as mercenarybdu does. With aggro being one of the most
popular decks for entry level players, this bad boy will be a gem of their
collection. Also reducing supply of the old Darksteel vertion.
Bonfire 30 while vial still at
18. Good but not 83% good.
standard:
Sphinx's Revelation (non foil) : 21.99 SCG
Modern:
Hallowed Fountain RTR (non foil) : 12.99 SCG
Revelation hasn’t moved very much
and the hallowed is now a 10 dollar SCG card… bottoming out like crazy…
I say NM
Sword of Fire and Ice (SCG$40NM) for Modern is going to double by 50% once FNM
Modern events are the norm. Aggro is going to continue to be a huge thing in
Modern and as more enter the game, more are going to want cards from 10 years
ago aka 2nd decade. As for Standard, I presume that Supreme Verdict (SCG$5NM)
for Standard is rebound its worth by 50% once the surplus dries up. The price
pushers are the eternal formats and 2013-2014 Standard. I'm talking regular
copies. Not foils.
Oh what sword did not get
picked? Anyways no movement on fire and
ice… and the verdict has gone down.

Modern :
deathrite shaman (nonfoil) : 11.99 SCG
Standard
: Gisela, Blade of Goldnight (nonfoil) : 6.99 SCG
Haha deathrite is 33%. And gisela is only ummm a dollar increase…
what? Love gisela
Modern:
Inquisition to Kozilek (nonfoil) : 5.99 SCG
Standard:
Ash Zealot (foil) : 6.99 SSC
Thanks inquisition and ashzealot for making me look ridiculous… neither moved… at all.
