You should be picking up foils now. The regular ones drop, foils will continually rise because of Legacy/EDH/etc. It's not like Standard players pimp out their decks and decide "yep, time to sell my foil lands for rotation".
Hmm, I guess. I figured both would take some sort of a hit. I just have to pray Wizards never bans them in modern (fetches).
If they ban the fetches in modern I am done with magic. Fetches certainly are exspensive and a force in modern but they do nothing to make a deck broken.
On prices though, infect is said to be doing good so i'd watch nexus, hierarch and other infect staples

Luckily I just purchased foil nexus and about to buy foil nobles for my infect deck. So I should beat any hikes. Infect is doing good atm in pro tour. So yea
I'm living in Europe, so I'm buying my cards on MKM, and I have not seen such a buyout in the whole decade I buy my cards there ! (I already have Ghostways, bought them years ago for like 1$ for a janky Ally Deck)

There is a podless kiki podesk deck floating around that features that card. Its hype for it.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Fake Warning: $5 Goyfs are being sold in asian amazon style sites as we speak and a bunch of people already bought it, passes both light and bend test. Expect to see the usual suspects to soon follow in the coming week to be sold as well.
The problem is that people wanted to play a format with a certain archetype of deck in mind, but the prices on certain cards are insanely expensive, this will always lead to counterfeits being printed and WOTC is not doing much in helping it. *cough,cough. limited print run of MM1.
And this also not just applies to modern but legacy too.

That is the same distributor and that is the same batch of fakes that we've been seeing for months now. I can tell from the faded print on the Scalding Tarn, it's been all over reddit and in previous videos. Nothing new although it's still quite alarming.
Standard fakes would probably be a much better way to make money, honestly. There's less scrutiny when trading and more demand. Which is probably why they hurried to change the frame.
I dunno, I could see boosters largely dying, but they could always go the Pokemon TCG route where expensive, powerful cards get put into promotional tins where you're guaranteed to get one alongside some other stuff.
Precisely. The solution is simple, reprint the flipping cards. This isn't the Reserved List we are talking about. This is Modern, Wizards said they will reprint cards (although Modern Masters was kind of a letdown). Reprint expensive cards like Yugioh and Pokemon and Wizards will not only rake in the cash but also cripple counterfeiters. Yet Wizards does nothing about this.

They could make a FTV:Modern series (with actual good cards like damnation instead of wrath) or just print MM2015 at Conspiracy levels.

I would still buy them if only for the tins themselves, I'd like to collect mtg tins if they started making them. Actually I'd like it if they had stuff that you usually see sold in boxes be placed in tins from now on.

Exactly. The whole reason people are counterfeiting the cards is because they're worth so much. If they get reprinted, then they're worth less and are less appealing to counterfeiters. Do you think a $40 Tarmogoyf would be as appealing to counterfeit as a $180 one?
To be fair, older versions of cards could still retain value (the constant reprints of Birds of Paradise haven't knocked down the Alpha and Beta prices!), so counterfeiters might try to do those, but those are also the versions people are going to be much more careful about buying.
What do you guys think about Scapeshifts? I need 2 more but with it not doing too hot at the PT and with MM15 coming up think it might get a little lower?

I'd say you could wait unless you really need them. They are creeping up but they are only played in one deck so it's the kind of card to go down with a reprint

Without value, the game will lose players. Without paper Magic, you will see hundreds of LGS die off and hurt the game. I think this is a reason Wotc refuses to make a solid interface for MTGO. They dont want everyone to switch over to MTGO or it will kill LGS and TOs. In short Wotc needs the paper game to continue.
On topic, looks like Bloom titan pieces jumped a bit.

Immediately after they rotate probably.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
About 2 weeks to a month before they rotate out of Standard. Same as the shocks did.
