White getting yet another Angel is all the more reason to suspect Seraph Sanctuary getting reprinted instead of the seemingly more obvious candidate Shimmering Grotto.
I too would have preferred original Avacyn in this slot, but original Linvala is great too.
Not going to reduce the value too much but it was getting too high.
Actually this is the kind of card that will probably see a substantial decrease in price... it's primarily a casual/EDH card that was printed in an era when sets had MUCH smaller print runs.
All this ridiculous value is only furthering my belief that this is the going to be the final "Masters" set.
I have a hard time believing Wizards will stop making Masters sets. There's just too much money to be made. Not only are packs more expensive, but the R&D in creating the sets are significantly less since it's all reprints. Far less new art required, no real "design" team in that you don't have to create a world or a story or any of that. It's basically a money printer. The only question is if all these cards tanking to hell in price will infuriate LGS owners. At the same time, LGSs should be able to sell a ton of these as the print run seems to be super high. I just think that they started to learn their reprint lesson with EMA and CN2 and it's carrying over to MM3 after the lackluster MM2.
One of the top angels needing a reprint. The only way this could get better is if they reprint Archangel of Thune.
It's not in the eligible sets
Just because of entreat the angels or terminus doesn't take Archangel of Thune out of the ball game for modern masters 2017. Besides a miracle mythic of each color is not garateed just like he command cycle and we have 0 letter "A" white cards yet.
whoops, I had thought that m14 was immediately after the cutoff, I didn't realize that it is the cutoff. that was what I meant, my bad

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Seems like Wizards is actually listening to the fan base. Lots of reprints that people have been asking for. I'm actually surprised. Keep up the good work.
I can finally move my 2 nonfoil copies out and get a foil one without that huge price tag sticking about.
I admittedly "hoarded" (but its only 2 copies) them for years, because that price tag meant it was ridiculously hard to move out and I didn't want to sell them at lower prices because the even more ridiculous price tag on the foil meant I still had to pay a substantial sum for a foil one even if I sold the nonfoil ones at market prices. But if the foil comes tumbling down, I'm definitely okay with my nonfoils being worth less but easier to move out. It's hard to make a loss of any kind if they came from ROE boosters in Standard back then, anyway...
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
I think it's a good printing, mainly because it does deserve another printing, being missed in the FTV angels. Wouldn't be mad to crack one, because they're going to go back up when the set stops being printed and the supply dried up on it.
I too would have preferred original Avacyn in this slot, but original Linvala is great too.
