Since we got a lot of cards spoiled much earlier than normal from that leaked document, I've been watching price jumps and falls. This would naturally have occurred days/weeks after the designated street release date of the spoilers. But now as soon as the set is released, hype will(may) have died down.
So this can lead to an interesting discussion:
1) what will rise to the occasion and what will flop?
2) What is currently jumping based solely on speculation?
3) What older cards will/might see a jump from interactions?
I know similar talks may have already popped up or will pop that focus on combos w/ older cards and what are the hits/sleepers, but I want to concentrate on the financial side since mtgstocks has been reporting on prices so early.
At this point I've only specced softly on Approach of the Second Sun because Isolated Chapel makes Esper Approach infinitelly better and the new Lich is pretty much auto-win with it.
Then again it's a MTGO only spec since one of the challenge decks had 3x Approach in them.

Pretty strange how no one has anything else to say...
Again, I don't have a crystal ball nor a scrying glass. I would say "Yes, it is too early for price specs". A lot depends on what's printed into Standard with all these splashy legends.
Also, real life is totally kicking my ass right now, making me less likely to speculate.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
Yeah some specs are imediatelly noticeable like speccing on anything with 3+ colored mana symbols in the casting cost when they spoiled Devotion. But right now Dominaria doesn't really look like it's gonna compete with the already established Kaladesh dominance. There's nothing on the same power level, and the most subtle powerful interactions will not be noticeable until the whole set is spoiled.
I believe this should be a fine time for some price specs. A lot of chatter (so I have noticed) is that many of the uncommons feel like rares. What uncommons do we see as "chase" cards? And, do we think said "chase" uncommons will be more rare than the run-of-the-mill uncommon (think back to Fatal Push)?

So, were you saying, basically, that you don't practice Santeria?
Specing for this set feels weird because of the early dump of info.
Dirty Kitty pieces seem to be gaining some traction. fecundity could jump. It could be another shot in the arm for legion loyalist? It's hard to say here. The deck feels like it's missing redundancy imho. The pieces are incredibly cheap, low rarity and highly printed for the most part. The rarer/lower printed pieces could definately jumped. Last I checked gate crash value is laughable, so vendors may want to shift more value to loyalist anyway.
Damping sphere looks incredible but again we've had time to stew.
Steel leaf champion looks absolutely insane to me and playable in green somoy or elf shells...but it's got a promo already in circulation. A participation promo too, not even just a top 8 promo.
The mono green standard deck feels pretty busted and rotation in fall is just hitting a few pieces. carnage tyrant has already started to climb.
Most of the really powerful rares seems pretty obvious in this set, but I think that The Antiquities War has a lot of potential. Goblin Chainwhirler can do a lot of work, especially if a token deck happens. I actually think mono blue fliers could at least be a tier 2 deck, which means grabbing some Tempest Djinn and Zahid, Djinn of the Lamp for their current cheap price could be worth it.

Are you referring to Lich's Mastery?

Reality is only what man allows it to be. Few shape it so that many may accept it.
