My rarest card is a Mishra's Workshop that my wife got me for my birthday before we became poor. I do have all of the fetch lands and 3 of the abur duals. Most of the value in my collection comes from random cards I had that spiked when Commander became popular.
I know this is old news for Galspanic, but I designed a Kamahl deck a week ago that just kills tables out of nowhere. I had no idea 40+ damage per combat would become so routine.
Maybe it's just me being new to mono-G, or maybe it's my love of stax, but I find myself playing my list like a control deck. I actually wiped the board two turns in a row! I think my favorite thing about mono-G is that while it requires some thought to pilot, it requires less of me than my mono-B deck.

I wish people understood how terrible Forcefield is
I can't say I understand how terrible it is, since I've never played with or against it, but I never thought it seemed as good on paper as everyone made it out to be. I don't think I would play it in any of my decks even if I owned one. Maybe Sydri.
I guess I have a lot of unlimited duals and fetches too but those are boring to mention. Foil Marsh Flats would definitely be up there. My wants would be something like:
Its sort of funny but imp seal is sort of low on my priorities. Its bad Vampiric Tutor (which makes it still a great card). I dont have a deck that I would put Moat in right now but if I owned one, I would definitely make a deck for it to be used in.
I think Imperial Seal would need to be made a judge foil before I get one. It's the only card on my list I couldn't even justify trying to trade for one at the current price.
Kid wakes up at 4am crying, refuses to go back to sleep. So... Yeah. Here we are, three hours and forty minutes later and he finally passes out. Off to the gym.

I agree with you. As good as Vampiric Tutor is, I wouldn't pay hundreds of dollars for a worse version (which is why I dont own one).
I likely would not be willing to pay more than $100.00 for it really to be honest so they would have to really cut into the price for me to care to pick one up.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Kids are the worst. AMIRITE?!
Mine no longer wake up at night but they are up at 6am every single day. The last 2 years has been "shut up, go downstairs, let mom and I sleep" training. It's all good now.

I forget Crypt is "high dollar" now.

Land screwed until I hit that 3rd island. So I play JtMS and start brainstorming. Dig dig dig dig until I hit pay dirt then combo out and deck the table.
I was so pleased I came home and fed my Jace a baby cracker with some jam on it.

I got my seal in NM perfect condition when they banned PT it's chinese so it only set me back 450$ With the number of times this combo Mage has killed with it it was worth every penny by far the best big money card I ever payed that much for apparently My unlimited volc and underground sea are catching up to it for most expensive card I own. In other news I'm loving editing my more fair deck I don't even mind not winning every game XD. I have been grinding the crap out if it on mtgo I forgot how fun tuning a list is when you haven't played the archetype so much you could build a nearly optimized list in 5 minutes. Ephara is really fun I want a foil it even looks like she's holding my Merchant scroll.

He usually sleeps in till about nine in the morning, although the trade-off is he usually won't go to bed until about ten, but... I dunno what happened last night. Random fluke? Nightmare? He hates me and wanted to make sure I suffered today? Who knows. He's awake now, and seems like he's in a dandy mood.

I got an extremely minty Chinese one for $325 some time ago. The price doesn't fluctuate much on them, and foreign ones show up at good prices on eBay periodically.
Then again, if you don't think the effect is worth even $100, $300-400 rather than $800 isn't that big of a deal.

I got my first Candelabra for $15.00 in trade and second for $45.00 in trade. I don't recall ever paying more than $50.00 for a card but that means I have to build up through trading and finding a lot of my high end stuff was the real problem. It took me like 2 years of looking to finally find a black border Devastation in a trade binder and that's not even a high end card...
I just sell cards to buy cards - no chance in hell anyone has anything I want in their binders anymore. "Oh hey, yeah, I totally want the ***** you drafted over the last 3 months."

Ugh I forgot about Timetwister but I have Workshop and Nether Void. And I need Diamond Valley...
I have 2 Candelabra of Tawnos though.
Also I play Forcefield in one of my MTGO decks and it's a solid card. Every there plays Craw Wurm decks though so it just helps keep pressure off me.
Forcefield I've seen be good in my Cube. It's really strong against big beaters and voltron, especially in a format where combo is scarce.
