I disagree. They seem to be printing graveyard hate like they are admitting SC Mage is a mistake. I can't see them putting it in M14 and having it spend another year in Standard.
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.

He did say "M14 event deck", and event decks need not include cards out of only that set (or block, for that matter - SFM was in the event deck released for Scars block (I think it was NPH?, but I can't remember for certain)). However, I don't think they would release cards designed to be FNM ready, that are so close to rotation.

Although Wizards are going to release "FtV: Commander" (aka "Commander: Arsenal") in a few months which is basically a product no target audience is going to buy,except speculators and collectors.
Yeah, Wizards makes different products for different audiences. Arsenal for the collectors and Event Decks for the FNM newbs. They are very careful not to cross the streams.

WoTC, thank you for finally announcing the Modern format, an eternal format where everyone can participate.

doubtful. the amount of eternal punch the card packs is crazy. unless its banned, i don't see it getting cheaper. if stoneforge wasn't banned in modern, it would probably still hold a ~$20 price tag.

I speak in sarcasm because calling people ******* ******** is not allowed.
I don't think SFM's price has as much to do with its as its having been banned in Modern as it has to do with having been printed in that event deck as a 2-of.
If it weren't for the Event deck, it probably would be closer to 15 right now.

I don't mean the upcoming rotation, I mean Inn's rotation. Standard only players will food the market with them and drop its price for a little while.
If by food, you mean flood, yeah, that's reasonable. I don't think a long term (4 year) price target of 35-40 is unreasonable though, although I think a year out, it will be 12-15 due to standard players dumping them for whatever is the hot new tech of the day.

I'm still betting on it will be included in an Event deck before it is out of Standard. Immediately when I saw it I assumed it was going to be in one eventually. That being said, I'm trying to pick them up now. I think 20 is a good starting point and I think it'll be the next Dark Confidant it'll push 40 one day.

I just want people who redraft to admit this:
"I can't draft objectively unless I am able to guarantee that I receive at least 3 rares. I am also better than most average/new players so I want to make sure that I get the best rares and they end up with worse ones. I care more about the monetary value of cards than actually playing the game for decent prizes."
With fewer good 1-drops, the meta for Standard seems to be slowing down. Does this help the utility of Snapcaster Mage in that it's going to be easier to flashback 2-drop+ spells or hurt it because he has to stay in your hand longer?

I can't believe anyone is excited about this card. It is absolutely unplayable. I wouldn't even play her in LIMITED. Easily the worst walker printed since the green elf one. Absolutely terrible.

What a relief.
SCM should drop in price at rotation anyway.
