STE is incredibly useful, but that card seems destined to be reprinted in every special MP set (i.e., Archenemy, Commander, C13... and so maybe again in Conspiracy, C15, C16...?)
If I had to speculate on a common, it'd be Gitaxian Probe. It's only been printed once, and Mark Rosewater said the likelihood of phyerxian mana coming back is extremely low.
^A thousand times this. Phyrexian mana as a mechanic spanning a whole block would have broken standard. It's a gigantic mistake. Dismember is a huge offender. Mental misstep the biggest one. Gitaxian probe is a VERY powerful magic card. Pay 2 life, have perfect information, cycle. There's a reason many legacy decks are adopting the card now outside combo. Really the only reason it doesn't see play in modern is due to shocklands + fetchlands dealing a lot of damage to yourself.
STE has been a dollar or 2 for quite a while. As for going up higher? Depends on if it starts seeing more play or not in modern.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."

I actually do run it. I often will pay the 2 life before playing a land to get info on how to play my land. To be fair though I do not have any fetches, yet, but I wouldn't doubt the card going up simply cause I can easily see Modern adopting it but again as you said mana bases are very very greedy in modern and often you're losing 3 life just for lands to begin the play. If its seeing play in legacy also bodes well for future growth on the card.
I also think phyrexian mana cards have nowhere to go but up. I like dismember and probe especially forfuture increases. Also lets not forget delver. The foils on that will be worth a lot and soon.
Well Boseiju is on the uptick, Champions about $7 and FTV about $10 on TCGplayer and still $6 on Starcity. Interesting that SCG is lower than TCG lol. I'm thinking this is due to both EDH\Commander and modern. any thoughts??

Pretty sure it's the modern amulet deck. In regards to SCG being cheaper, this really does happen alot more than people seem to think.
As far as ensnaring bridge, I believe that is due to a surge in demand for Imperial Painter

ah. A really underrated card. the only thing that can "counter" a spell cast by Boseiju is Venser Shaper Savant and Mindbreak Trap. Just 2. and I don't see either of those cards in many decks. So I think Boseiju have room to grow.

okay so judge Lightning Bolts seem to be at minimum $130 and average on TCGplayer at $150 with only one listing on TCG and 0 in stock at SCG and only 3 active listings on ebay. Card is getting damn hard to find.
Edit: Bronson Ensnaring Bridge keeps you from being annihilated from Eldraz titans, griselbrand, and whatever insanely large creature of the month is yet $20-25 is a bit high imo.
Bridge will remain a 20-25$ card. It does shut down big monsters, but as a DnT player, I've been on the wrong side of the table quite a few times and it makes your life miserable, even if you control only critters. A bit of a stretch, but functionality-wise, a comparison to Moat isn't that much of a stretch. Sure Bridge has been printed many times, and is not 20 years old, hence the x20 multiplier in price, but at 8-10$ it was undervalued.

How high do you guys think Spellskite can go? As many people have voiced there is a slim chance of more Phyrexian mana coming which makes something like Spellskite incredibly unique. It's colorless, a great sideboard answer, from a 3rd set, and in some cases a complete hoser to certain strategies. It seems like it's underpriced as is at ~$15
It's a "5" on MaRo's storm scale, which means that it will probably come back some day- the problem with it, of course, is that it requires the Phyrexians to be used.
The good news- MM2 will likely go through Scars block, and its a pretty easy reprint.
You know which card is undervalued right now? Foil Domri Rade. With how high the regular printing is, the foil should be much more as it's modern playable. Also from an under-opened set. Food for thought...

The price of the regular printing is primarily driven by standard, a format that doesn't tend to exert much upward pressure on foils.

It's good in EDH, but I think that it's the stupid green Titan/Asuza deck.
