Was there a buyout on foil Toxic Deluges or something? I literally was just checking the price on them yesterday (one of the last 5 cards I need foil for my EDH deck, and the only card I need from EMA) and there were plenty enough on TCG Player, but I'm waiting on it dropping to about $30. Go to check today and there's none on there. WTF?

Maybe people picked them up for their Legacy/Commander decks? The best thing to do is wait for more EMA to be opened and hopefully that will drop the prices a bit. (At least that's what I keep telling myself.)

I just checked on ebay completed listings since I can see when the listings ended (typically if a buyout occurs, then you'll see a whole bunch of buy it nows bought up within a small period of time. In this case though, the ones on ebay were bought up over the course of about 36 hours at normal intervals. This doesn't suggest a buyout, but rather more like the price got cheap enough that people decided to go ahead and go in and grab them at the listed prices. Unfortunately when you have a card that is the first time in foil and its popular enough that people will want it, you are going to eventually have a large enough amount of people willing to pull the trigger on buying them now that we are 5 days after release that spikes on foils of a limited release set like this can do that. I do notice that there are several auctions up on ebay right now running, so you could always keep an eye on those ones, though $30 seems rather unlikely to happen at this point as it looks like $50+ seems to be the new range for the time being. Sorry that you missed out at a potentially lower price. Perhaps with some additional time the supply will slowly rise back up again and we'll see the price start to lower again, in the meantime though, looks like the range is going to be running higher for a bit.
Is there any other cards that are at their first foil printing that we should be aware like Toxic Deluge? I think that Peregrine Drake is one of them (5$ common)

Ignoring the ones already mentioned, there's still
These are weighted a little more heavily towards legacy, but I've seen most of them played in EDH at one time or another. There may still be one or two that are missing at a lower price point as well. There are also quite a few with new art, art where this is the first foil printing, or previously judge promo art. Those can all affect prices too.

So every major site is sold out of foil Toxic Deluge except for one at $150 on TCGPlayer. Ebay has a few auctions in progress that are around $50 right now however.
Seems like Forcefield has quietly been on the rise since late March. 25% increase or more over the last two months. Commander players realizing this card exists I guess?

I should have bought this years ago... Price was just scaring me off. It's one of my all time favorite arts and on a useful card.

Got mine a couple years back, traded a slightly damaged book Mana Crypt for a nice, NM UNL one. Looks like I ended up getting the long end of the stick after all.

Boooo. I've kind of wanted one of those, but would have preferred a Beta copy and I was never quite tempted enough to pull the trigger. Looks like that ship has sailed. If I'm spending that much on cardstock it's probably going to be power. It will be a more playable card than Forcefield, at the very least.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll settle for a cheap UNL copy.

Incidentally, those prices look like they're propped up by one alpha copy and one beta copy on TCG in decent condition.
Once there are willing buyers for an alpha forcefield at 1.5K, then the ship has sailed.
Screw it, picked up an LP (hopefully not too LP) foil Toxic Deluge for $58 shipped off TCG Player. I regretted not biting in the $40 range before it spiked, I don't want to risk it spiking again or stabilizing higher.

Seems like an amazing price that won't go lower. Nice snag.
Clever Impersonator is on the creep, following the usual post-rotation trajectory for an EDH all-star - it jumped back over $3 as SOI was released, and it's just crossed $3.30 and still going. Looks like we've found KTK's Chromatic Lantern / Cyclonic Rift.

Being Mythic (even in such a heavily opened product) will only help its price moving forward as well. It's important to note that the foils can still be had in the $10 range.
It might be a little premature but we all know Clever Impersonator is going to be a $10+ mythic in a few years. I think the only thing holding it down right now is the fact that so much Khans was opened for fetches.
Maybe. Clone effects seem to be historically overvalued by everyone but the people who actually play with them regularly.
Mythic rarity surely helps it get to $10 but I just don't know if the demand will ever exceed the supply. As you pointed out, a metric **** ton of KTK was opened.
Lazav, Dimir Mastermind foils seem to have been trending upwards. I regularly keep an eye on the value of the cards in my deck, just because...I dunno, but it seems my general has seen an increase recently.

Well, in the EDH Top 50, there are 3 clones in blue's top 25 creatures: Phyrexian Metamorph, Phantasmal Image, and Clever Impersonator. That's some pretty good company for the Impersonator to be in, is all I'm saying. I don't think I've ever built a blue EDH deck without Metamorph, and usually but not always Phantasmal. Neither of those cards let you clone an Ugin, the Spirit Dragon or Karn Liberated. I can very easily see Impersonator slotting into just about any blue deck ever.
It might be a little premature but we all know Clever Impersonator is going to be a $10+ mythic in a few years. I think the only thing holding it down right now is the fact that so much Khans was opened for fetches.
Fair enough, but it's a card we know will climb long-term, and it's starting to move, is all.
Now, can someone tell me what the hell is going on with Fortune Thief? I don't think I've seen a single person able to explain why it got bought out!

It's settled at $2-3 and it's been pretty flat.
"Looks like we've found KTK's Chromatic Lantern / Cyclonic Rift." seems a tad premature is all I'm saying.

Clever Impersonator has been $2-3 for a very long time, I don't think a 30 cent increase is an especially noteworthy reason to post it in this thread.
