I'm looking for some advice.
If I need a playset of each shock land, how much should I expect to pay and is there a reason to wait or should I just buy them now?
Steam vents is probably the only one I'd worry about getting right now. They likely wont go up in price until after July.
I also wouldn't bother with a full playset of every shockland - most modern decks run 2/3 of each necessary color pair. Very few decks need/want the full 4.
I understand what you are saying, most decks run 2 max, with some at 3 but I can get them for $400 and thinking of selling whichever I don't need. It's the best deal I can find, plus I have multiple decks and I don't want to run into a situation where I wish I had one extra copy of a certain shockland.

I am assuming Goyf will start creeping back up. You guys think so? I think it will level out close to $200 again
If Jund/Abzan pick up steam post Eldrazi, it is definitely possible, though an unbanning of AV could throw off that prediction. Also depends heavily on what is printed in EMA; other cards in BGx can make the archetype prohibitive to buy and keep goyf down, but if EMA sees something like Lili or Verdant demand may shoot up for goyf.
In short, only Wizards truly knows. The only safe bet is that it is likely to not go DOWN.

If I found a Tarmo and a Foil Tezzeret from one pack, I'd photograph the opened pack and the cards from it just as a keepsake. That's seriously like winning the lottery, there.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

Best pack I have opened by far haha. My buddy was sitting next to me and the LGS manager tossed me a MM15 pack from my store credit from last week. I always pull crap from these, so I flip to the back and I go "Oh sweet a foil Tezz....oh....and a goyf...."
The next guy opened a Mox Opal from the same box (brand new box). No one else wanted any packs from that box lol
What happened to Risen Executioner? Went from $1.75 to nearly $7 overnight.
Probably the fact that the madness mechanic is in the next set which will utilize the graveyard quite a bit and the new mythic black zombie dude (forget the name) is making it seem like zombies might be a thing.
Based on Aaron's interview it seems like only one land is getting banned since he likes the deck for some reason. Since eye of ugin is the most degenerate land I expect it to go. Does that mean that people should be getting Eldrazi temples now? It seems like a decent spec at the moment.

On mtgsalvation people don't want to discuss ideas, so I give people something else to discuss: my controversial opinions.

I didn't get that from his interview at all. I took away that both lands will go but no creatures or other pieces.
Any idea why this is falling? Is it just do the cmc of eldrazi?
I guess. Either way, that's a nice drop for a card positioned to be EXCELLENT after Eldrazi is gone. If the field is full of 0-3 CMC permanents, EE is amazing.

Banning out both lands means that the deck completely dies. He wants to keep it alive so one land will probably go. Power level wise it's def Eye of Ugin hence why I asked if Eldrazi temple is a good spec.

I'm not convinced he knows really what he's talking about though. He reiterated, they dont even test when they need to ban something, but 'maybe we will this time'.

If this is true, I will lose what little confidence I have in wotc to manage the format. I mean, with Pod and Twin, they went straight for the jugular and axed the engines of the decks. So why does Eldrazi get a free pass?

It's probably the new zombie that was revealed at some event. Saw it in the rumor mill.
Zombies are already juuuuuust barely at Modern level and if the new set makes anything good (like the spoiled mythic) I expect a modern zombie deck, which is aggravating because I have joked for years how my zombie deck was untouchable by bans.

Abzan Company is very similar to what Pod was like prior to it's final year.
