do any of you think Extraplanar lens will spike in price now that we know snow-covered lands will be making a returning?
The secret to Extraplanar Lens was that if you could afford Snow lands, then you could get a non-symmetrical advantage from your poorer opponents. But if you have lots of common snow lands floating about for everybody, then Extraplanar Lens is just not as good as it used to be.
The answer is that I don't know, card is worse now, but more accessible for people wanting to try and catch opponents out.

Considering that it's reached its highest price in 7 years, I'm going to say yes. However, the data on the graph shows that it's been creeping up steadily for years anyway.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
Not even close, it was just as I remembered. Only Mountain is even over 2 bucks for actual purchase.
I bought a bunch of islands and mountains last year, and never paid more than $2.
This was from four years ago
15
Snow-Covered Island (Ice Age, Land Played, C)
$0.99(each) $14.85 (total)
15
Snow-Covered Plains (Ice Age, Land Played, C)
$0.65 $9.75
But with the reprints, I may pick up mountains so i can have a full snow land base....
Extraplanar Lens is a decent card if you want to combo off the turn you play it. If you are trying to play a fair deck that wants a lot of mana I have found its not worth running. I can't tell you how many times I have seen it cast, remove a land you control, and not exist next turn. If your meta doesn't run removal then sure run it and if you want to combo the turn you play it its fine. Its kind of a narrow card outside of combo decks though if you ask me.
I stopped playing it YEARS ago. Its not very good for most decks due to the liability of losing you a land as well when it dies. Don't worry about its price tag as its not worth the investment. One of the only places I think its really validated is mono blue combo and maybe in a stretch mono black (but probably not even there).

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.
The only place Lens belongs is in colourless decks because no one else plays Wastes besides your deck. Being the only legit mana doubler for the colourless deck, I'd wager it's worth about $10 for my needs. I don't actually recall how much I paid for this, but it couldn't have been much more than that.
I just didn't care if my opponents got like 2-3 extra mana I was doubling mine. It's extremely rare to have multiple mono coloured decks of the same colour. Also my deck was built to take advantage of that mana boost thier may not have been.

I think its great in mono-colors, red and white especially. Throw in Snow lands, and its just for you.

try more like 5 each. Ice age were that much due to how old they were and coldsnap were that much due to how nice they looked.
