MTG Salvation

Poor Bob has had a few bad months, being both weaker than Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time, and not really viable to play alongside them, and the Bob decks being fairly soft to Pod decks.

I took the recent opportunity to pick up a set but I'm curious as to whether people think he'll spike hard now based on Modern demand. With hindsight I think I should have bought many more.

did you not look at goldfish before you posted? you're better than this

The question isn't 'will it spike a bit', I already knew it had spiked.

It's where it will go from here. Will it replace Clique as the #2 card in MMA, for instance?

I only see the price changing drastically on MTGO... paper it is about the same (hovering around $80)

Prices on MODO are mich more fluid since they are based solely on competitive demand -- price memory is a lot less important and no one is holding onto cards for a collection, as trade bait, Cube, etc...

If Dark Confidant isn't playable in Modern, expect it to keep falling.

That being said Jund has been very strong for a long time, times when Burn also saw a lot of (online) play, so I don't see why that would make him completely useless now.

Burn a year ago didn't have swift spear and eidolon of rhetoric. Burn was a tier 2-3 deck back then. Now it's tier 1.

Also opposing siege rhinos puts bob in an awkward spot.

Bob is a good card, but he's in a bad spot in the current meta.

I bought a set too. 16T is at its internal value. At worst the card hits 5T, I will lose 44T, which is not a big thing, since I PLAY Bob in a deck. Of course, the price CAN someday hit 25T, for sure I think, although I don't care (=_=)|||.
