So there's a lot of talk about how far the prices will fall in the near future, but how long will it take before demand starts to outweigh supply and we see a surge similar to what Zendikar fetchlands saw? A year after rotation? Two years?

Bloodsoaked Champion sees to be on the rise. Post rotation, mono-black seems to be a fan favorite. It started at $3.75, now its over $5. I hope it comes down. I haven't gotten my playset yet!

Bloodsoaked Champion is in the Event Deck. That should help bring the price down.

I'm not so sure. The Event Deck as a whole is really, really meh, so only newer players are going to be tempted into buying it. The value just isn't there to justify the price-tag. This definitely prevents Bloodsoaked Champion from being something like an $8 to $10 Rare for now, but I don't think it'll drop the price significantly. At worst, I see it hanging around where it is now, the $5 slot.

Surprised by the lack of Grim Haruspex in this thread. Only one other mention. At $0.98, I feel that it's a real sleeper, in either some new form of Mono Black Devotion or Mono Black Aggro. Possibly even some sort of R/W/B deck using Butcher of the Hordes. 3/2 for 3 isn't necessarily bad (and if Ruthless Ripper ever becomes popular enough, which I feel it will, it's good to play as a Morph for mind games), and it lets you do silly things like ram a Bloodsoaked Champion into the red zone even with no chance of getting through, you draw a card, pay 1B and return Bloodsoaked Champion.

I'm hoping it puts in some good work.

$20 seems like the result of speculators rather than real market value. It does see play but it was highly printed and it always sees play as a mere 1 or 2 of.

"Highly printed"? A Mythic Rare, in a small third set, that (lets be honest) has a lot of junk and general garbage in the Rare slots, and is played in pretty much every format to some degree. This is how Chase Mythics come into being.

What exactly is pushing the price of Treasure CruiseFoil? Someone asked me yesterday and I didn't really have an answer for them. Cube? EDH? The really nice art?

How is no one talking about Goblin Rabblemaster? Went from less than $1 mid on tcgplayer each to $4 each because of PTM15. Granted, this hasn't translated to a price hike on sold listings on eBay yet but the current bids are certainly getting up there for sets. Did anyone else other than me buy a bunch when they showed up in feature matches?

Has anyone ever tried Dreams of the Dead with Brago, King Eternal as their Commander? If so, how did it go? It seems pretty powerful; "1U: Reanimate target White creature" sounds like good value.

There's not as much of a need to hate the graveyard with Flashback, Snapcaster, and Reanimator all gone. It'll pick up when M14 is gone and the people that need them for Modern start looking for them.

And Zur has spiked on TCGplayer to a median price of $13.48, 11 copies in stock. SCG is sold out at $9.99, so it's seen a very nice spike. Everyone that payed $6 or less per Zur has at the least made their money back.

Any further thoughts on how much higher it can go?

Reid Duke casting a ridiculous Master of Waves.

Arbor Colossus spotted in the Top 8 as a three-of. Hero's Downfall seeing extensive play. Not a single Boon Satyr in site, I'm jumping off the ship now while it's at $6 and selling all my copies. AEtherling also seeing a decent amount of play in Top 8, could jump up to a nice $5.

Tags added so we can see the prices. -Galspanic

So what do you guys think the ceiling on Zur is? Sees a high amount of play in Commander and is now starting to see play in Modern, it's from an old set and said old set is the third of its block.

Prossh is going to be the first EDH deck that I actually make. Ever since I've seen its ability and read about how it combos off with Food Chain I've been really excited for it. For my own rankings I'd have to say that it goes:

Prossh = Derevi > Marath > Oloro > Jeleva.

Just sold off my set of Tidebinder Mage for $22. Was actually buying them up mid-M14 for Legacy and Modern in the future but hey.

Advent of the Wurm is creeping up quickly to $5 rare status. I think Boon Satyr has peaked now at $6. I've got two copies left over, think I should try moving them now?

And now the one Zur left on Amazon is up to $11. Looks like I was right to buy four of them.
