1x Foil Copy of every god from Theros block. (~240 total TCGplayer optimized)
Worth picking up the Theros gods in foil now, or waiting until post rotation? I want one of each for my commander collection.
I'd guess that the foil prices aren't really driven by standard very much. What do you guys think?
ok Promo Geist buy or sale for $37 shipped will this hold current price or is the bubble working on popping?
For me I don't think Tiny Leaders will take off and Geist will get dumped.
2 people tried and failed to spark the format at my LGS. 50 card spike format where you play all the legacy relevant 3 drops? Yeah right that's going to be a big hit.

I've heard anecdotal stuff like this both ways. In some areas, the interest sounds to be pretty big and legit. I personally think it's a great alternative to Legacy. If TL does stick, Geist for sure will keep going up. So it's a matter of what you believe with regards to the format.
How likely do you think Zendikar Manlands will be reprinted in the next 6 months, whether in Modern Masters 2015 or Battle of Zendikar? I'm looking to pick some up for some decks fairly soon and am wondering the chance of them getting reprinted.
I think it's extremely likely, like 80%. I think in BoZ rather than MM2015. Either way I believe one set will have the enemy fetches and the other the manlands. The reason I don't think they'll be in MM15 is that besides Celestial Colonade and somewhat Creeping Tar Pit they really aren't that expensive, and MM2015 needs a lot of expensive cards to justify 10$ MSRP.
I don't think it's necessarily likely that they will reprint these. They were kind of specific to the events of Worldwake, so they don't make sense in a return to Zendikar - also, I don't see them reprinting both those and the Fetchlands in Zendikar, and the fetchlands are much more likely. If MM1 was any indication, there likely will not be a land cycle in MM15, and even if this changes, there are other land cycles that arguably need the reprint more (like the SHA/EVE filterlands).
So I'd say there's about an 80-85% chance that these do not get reprinted at all, so go ahead and grab them.

I have to wonder if celestial colonnade might make the MM2015 cut at least. I doubt they would do the whole cycle in MM2015 (for reasons stated by others above) but that one would be nice.
I'm wondering about Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver. Post Theros rotation will the price plummet, or should I keep the ones I have?
I hear that it's being played in Modern. Or I guess I should say, tested in Modern. It's not done anything game-changing yet. I'd hold for a little bit.
That said, it has far more of an application in Standard, so people are going to be dropping them in September. So unless it really catches hold in Modern over the next couple months, I'd drop them in early June.

I'd move them. Azusa seems prime for reprinting either in MM2015 or a commander set. It has seen modern play before in the amulet deck and WotC is well aware of it. Getting 22 apiece just feels great to me personally versus potentially getting less than a quarter of that because they would likely reprint azusa at rare but even mythic the price would tank as azusa is a niche card in modern and in EDH you need just 1 so...

I wouldn't buy it looking to turn an immediate profit, but if you want a foil Pact (and they are pretty cool), it's a good price. It's certainly below TCG low.

I'm thinking about selling some of my Baneslayer Angels, but am a bit worried that it may be reprinted in Magic Origins. If that were to happen do we know if it's price would increase by much?

If they reprint it, it'll go down. It always does. Sell.
Seems pretty fair. eBay has a couple BINs for $26 and change, and there's one best offer that's at $28ish. Not an amazing deal, but I'm bullish on foil gods so I think it'll end up having been a good buy.
thoughts on "thoughtseize"? after theros rotate out?
I don't really have any comment for Prime Time - put them in an Amulet Bloom deck maybe?
As far as Thoughtseize goes, it's a staple in both Legacy and Modern. Standard demand will drop off, but it's definitely a hold. If you're looking to pick them up, I'd wait until September for the inevitable brief dip, but I really don't think that the dip will be significant or long-lasting.
