Quote from Squirtle_Squad »Do you think the print sizes are affecting the price? The BFZ and SOI blocks are/were being printed into oblivion. I dont know about KTK block however.
KTK had a fairly large print run because it was drafted as 3x for 3 months and then as 2x for another 3 months. Additionally, tons of people cracked it for the Fetchlands.
Dragons of Tarkir only had 3 months as a 2x set and was never drafted as a 3x set. It's also the only large set ever printed where this is the case - Avacyn Restored, Gatecrash, and Rise of the Eldrazi (the other non-Fall Large sets) were all drafted by themselves as 3x for at least three months. It has only a few staple Eternal cards, so its draw from the Eternal crowd was much smaller as well.
On top of this, Collected Company has been the cornerstone of one of the most dominant strategies in Standard, and has made a splash in Modern. So it's one of the most expensive non-Land, non-Mythic Rare cards in recent memory.
All that said, the set is one of the few standalone sets in standard, so there's lower intra-block synergy than with BFZ and SOI cards, and it has only three months left in Standard, which is why everything is starting to creep downwards.
Your understanding is correct. It checks on resolution, so each consecutive resolving Fist will give an additional +1 over the previous. Whoever you initially target will have their copy resolve last, so will get the biggest bonus.
Very interesting design, but I'm not sure how it's blue.
Why not just:
Vannifar's Loyalist 1G
Creature - Human Plant
{T}: Add one mana of any color. Put a +1/+1 counter on ~.

Would anything, ever, change your mind? It seems like the real opportunity cost of swapping all of your basics for Snow basics is so low that it has to at least be worth considering at some point. Would it take 3 new cards? 5? 10? A playable cycle of snow dual lands on par with the duals that make the cut right now?

We don't know. We have no information on this promo, it was just something leaked.
It's a neat card, but I don't think it's going to be all that in Modern. It shuts down Storm pretty hard, but it does next to nothing to a number of other highly linear decks that prey on the Modern Meta.
Like yeah, you counter one of Phoenix's spells, but they still get to bring back their Phoenixes and dome you with them. It's blank vs Tron, it's mediocre vs Dredge, it's bad against Humans and Death's Shadow.
