I am just curious what cards people are buying while RtR prices are depressed from the dumping of cards during the RtR release period. With the number of people playing in these events, the cards' values seem really low right now.
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
You should have bought epic experiment last night when travis woo posted an article about it. Jumped from 1.3 to ~4 in 12 hours.
I think sphinx's revelation will go up. It's one of the strongest cards in block. It might double and go to 10. Obviously epic experiment could go up if twoo crushes with it publically.
One of the sad things is that there are no US standard GPs till November 17th. There's a standard GP in New Zealand on the 3rd of November but that won't get as much publicity. Last standard season Martin Juza won a GP with a g/w mostly mythic deck and the prices for the cards in his deck didn't move since it was at a European GP. So if Jace breaks out at the Charleston GP on the 17th then expect him to shoot up to 35-40. He's no mind sculptor, but he's still pretty good. Also the next set obviously has Dimir and Simic which will probably make Jace better and make him increase in price.
Another card to look out for is Jarad. Some people are playing him in a graveyard based deck. He could go up to 5 if that catches on. Plus you can get him for 1.5 so it's a pretty minimal investment.
Another interesting thing is how they're going to release this limited format online. Gatecrash is drafted by itself. So are they going to shut down the RTR queues when GTC are up? There could be a spike in price of RTR cards if the queue goes down.
I've been buying a ton of Epic Experiments since the RtR prerelease. It's probably the funnest desk to play in standard at the moment, since you can ramp to 25 land on turn 5 and Epic Experiment for your whole deck shortly afterwards and chain through Temporal Mastery and such, or you just do some controllish stuff to make sure you last that long, but when you do get a chance to gun it, it puts a smile on your face every time.
Just watched Woo's stream and no offense (to him or ppl who play it) but the deck is pretty janky (after donating zillion tixs he gets the combo off then punts it lol), it certainly isn't close to being decent let alone good combo deck. The card itself is powerful but there isn't much support out there right now and I don't believe green ramp is the way to go atleast not atm; ritual version is prob better since u don't have to run more then 2 colors if u don't want to and X=4 then copying it prob wins u the game
As far as the card, pick a setup for cheap bc they will prob go up just bc they are mythics (2.5 sounds ok) and does have potential.
Rakdo's Return seems like it has a lot of potential to be a staple in Jund for a while if this format continues like it has, also Angel of Serenity.. card is just so good

Yeah I bought some EpExs the night he posted the article and sold them the next day for a little over double profit. I don't really like watching his stream or his cfb stuff; his monotone voice is very grating.
Angel is very good, but how high can it go? I don't think it'll go past geist levels and hit 29, it's a 7 drop. I think 20 is probably the ceiling for it.

Correction: Geist is 38 now, lol
I think Angel can become 25 just bc its just as good as Elesh Norn was and you could argue better bc its in a lot of other decks besides Frites without Birthing Pod in the format (std).
lol Geist, my friend just profited very nicely since I told him to make UWR midrange before the last SCG

Does bring back fun memories of Mind's Desire
