Thank you all for the participating in my April Fool's joke/game. I am going to leave up the the jokes in case anyone wants to try figuring out the remaining. I will be posting the answers soon.
There will be a real update tomorrow, Friday April 3.
I'm also wondering, in case anyone cares to calculate it out -- how high does Thunderbreak Regent have to go to make that DTK Event Deck worthwhile? What else is in there of any value?
These are the cards worth more than a buck at SCG prices:
Thunderbreak Regent ($10.85 and sold out)
Surrak the Hunt Caller ($4.55)
Outpost Siege ($3.49)
Temple of Abandon ($1.75)
Crater's Claws ($1.16)
Mistcutter Hydra ($1.05)
At SCG prices, Thunderbreak Regent would have to be worth $12.99 to make the Event Deck worth the $24.99 MSRP if we ignore everything less than a buck.
Unless the player is "going off" with Mastery of the Unseen, I don't see how the raptor is any better than a 3/3 deathtoucher. Currently the only Tier 1 morph creatures are Ashcloud Phoenix and Rattleclaw Mystic. And those creatures are almost never played face-down.
If I had any Deathmist Raptors, I would sell them now. I expect Ojutai to retain most of her price because she is a aggressively costed dragon. In the long run, I expect most value from this set to be tied up in the mythic dragonlords.

I would dump them too. But, remember that he's getting played in a 4-of format where the first one dies, trades with an opponent's creature, and then the second one comes into play, morphs, etc. I can see it getting out of hand pretty easily. With deathtouch it's not like your opponent will come out ahead on that combat.
For such a supposedly terrible set, it sure has a lot of high priced cards. The Magic secondary market is so unstable these days I just have no idea when I should buy cards I want anymore.

It doesn't show me how much a card has risen or dropped since the set came out.
It needs to be easier than going back through previous pages to check or the tally to me isn't really a "one glance tells all" sort of a thing."
Perhaps 30 day up/down or a 14 day up/down or even both.
(I'm beginning to wonder if this is intentional...)
Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.

Why did dragonlord ojutai's price go bonkers over the past couple of days? I presume a standard deck showed promise?
"Personally I love high-riak, low-reqars gambles. Life's best with a decent amount of riak. And f*** reqars."
I think it was mentioned earlier that it saw play as a sideboard card in Jeskai tokens. Looks like it's price is already coming back down though.

It's being played in Jeskai tokens especially, but really in Jeskai of all flavors.

Well, it does have deathtouch.
I want to believe the high prices are due to overhype. But I am not sure anymore.
If I had any Deathmist Raptors, I would sell them now. I expect Ojutai to retain most of her price because she is a aggressively costed dragon. In the long run, I expect most value from this set to be tied up in the mythic dragonlords.
