People really underestimate the power of instant speed sometimes. Having control over when a particular effect resolves makes that effect infinitely more powerful. Glad to see it seeing play, it really is a fun card.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Upon reveal: High price.
Before release: Even higher
Release: Small drop
A month later (now): Drop again
After it rotates from Standard: Drop again
I expected it to be around 2-6 $ now and I expect it to be around 1 $ when it rotates.
Should I instead have quoted the ten people who thought this card would go way above 10 $?

No, because it really doesn’t make sense. What you’ve been quoted as saying isn’t true, either, sooooo...? Feel free to show me in this thread where you said it was going to be in that range (2-6) instead of being less than a dollar, because unless it magically disappeared, you didn’t say it.

Beyond that, cards a player, so who cares?

As long as it is still following the expected pattern then I am still confidant. The card will end up (for all eternity) on the expected 1 $. My reasoning for this statement is that this has always been the case and Risk Factor is (so far) still following the pattern I expected.
Oh, ok. So you going to come back and claim your medal in another ~6 months?

Yeah, I predicted that already, since it was spoiled I said it'll be about $10 or even more.

I've wanted to do that in Legacy. It would be terrible, but you could have quite a bit of fun with Breaking Point, Skullscorch, and others.
