MTG Salvation

Prices were doubled at the distributor level.

Prices are crazy because the costs are crazy. WotC doubled the costs of all the different products for this set, so retailers have to do the same. Blame WotC, not the stores.

Oh boy, a clickbait thread with a clickbait video. Until we get word from WotC themselves about a ban, I wouldn't worry about it.

You want a more aggressive manabase. Decks have moved away from utility lands. I'd drop the Swamp and Forest for a Mountain and a Shriekhorn. That'll move you to pretty much a stock list. As for Shriekhorn, most people run 4, however some will drop 1 for a mainboard Darkblast.

If I had to guess, it'd be to get rid of Meddling Mage if they name both Lightning Axe and Conflagrate? Seems very corner case though.

I'm considering taking Dredge to SCG Columbus, and wanted some input. I have a couple pieces of tech I'm testing with:



Card Choices:
Driven // Despair - Helps with Storm mostly. Also operates as a pseudo-Overrun effect
Horizon Canopy - Can't say whether it's helped or hurt yet. The extra card draw has been useful, but I'm worried about hitting no-red hands.
Ghost Quarter MB - Same as above. I believe a list placed well online running 1 in the main a little while back, so I picked it up.
Double Darkblast - With Affinity being on the rise, I feel like being able to snipe Steel Overseer and Signal Pest on turn 1-2 is fairly important.

Recommendations? Also, thoughts on the UW Sideboard plan?

I'm working on a similar build myself, however I see a few issues with your list. First, Panharmonicon is far too slow for Modern. Secondly, relying on Eldrazi Skyspawner for colorless mana to power Displacer will lead to many situations where Displacer is just a vanilla 3/3. I recommend dropping the plan, and adding more value. I run Scavenging Ooze, Voice of Resurgence, and Qasali Pridemage to fill out the 2-drop slot. Snapcaster Mage also seems underpowered here because of the lack of Instants and Sorceries. Although it can't be flipped off Collected Company, Restoration Angel is also great for this kind of build as a 2-3of. Your mana base has room for utility lands as well, by cutting down on basics. Gavony Township, Ghost Quarter, and man lands (Celestial Colonnade, Stirring Wildwood, and Lumbering Falls).

These will be the combinations. You can't make them work otherwise.

The blue warpaint screams Balduvian. Balduvian Horde, Balduvian Rage, etc.

Gatecrash: Aurelia, Gideon, Obzedat, Domri, Boros Reckoner, Nightveil Specter, Master Biomancer and 5 shocks all at 4.00 average or higher on TCGPlayer, with notable uncommons being Boros Charm, Experiment One and Burning-Tree Emissary.
Dragon's Maze: Voice of Resurgence, Blood Baron of Vizkopa, Ral Zarek, Voice of Resurgence Tokens (not even kidding, they're $5+) and no notable uncommons
M14: Mutavault, Garruk, Chandra, Kalonian Hydra, Archangel of Thune, Ajani, Jace, Scavenging Ooze, Fiendslayer Paladin, Liliana, Primeval Bounty, Lifebane Zombie, and Xathrid Necromancer. Notable Uncommons: Young Pyromancer
Theros: Elspeth, Stormbreath, Thassa, Thoughtseize, Nykthos, Ashiok, Hero's Downfall, Xenagos, Erebos, Polukranos, Master of Waves, Purphoros, Nylea, Heliod, Sylvan Caryatid, Temple of Deceit, Temple of Silence, Temple of Triumph. Notable Uncommons: Magma Jet

Bolded cards are mythic rares. M14 would be my pick. Theros has better mythics, but is less valuable overall. Gatecrash is solid because the uncommons.

EDIT: And if you can get Return to Ravnica:
Jace, Sphinx's Revelation, Deathrite Shaman, Desecration Demon, Abrupt Decay, Vraska, Supreme Verdict, Trostani, Rakdos's Return, Cyclonic Rift, and Pack Rat. Notable uncommons: Guttersnipe, Azorius Charm.

Voted on the following, any one and I'm happy [except Grave Troll. We need two then!]:
Golgari Grave Troll
Ancestral Vision
Bitterblossom
Sword of the Meek
Ponder
Preordain
Dark Depths
Dread Return

Call me insane, but I think it'll be more along the lines of Gideon, Champion of Justice, but stabalizing a little higher (6-8 as opposed to 3-5). The major thing that makes her different from Tamiyo is the format: Tamiyo was in a midranged.dec format, while currently we have 4 creature based devotion/aggro decks.

At the LGS I work at, we found these inside an old Rise of the Eldrazi fat pack land pack. Any idea on the value?

I sold a MTGO collection as well as a rather large buy list submission to Cape Fear Games/MTGO Traders, and both went incredibly smoothly. I was paid within hours of them receiving the cards both times. I'll continue to use Cape Fear Games as my main online retailer, no question, and MTGO Traders for my MTGO needs.

Card is okay. I'm more curious of the blank spot on the mothership to be honest. Anyone else seeing it?
