UPDATE 05/05/2013
* As expected most cards lost value at similar rate (between 5 and 10 cents). This is both a increased supply effect and the test meta setting down. I suspect most cards with decreasing value will go down hill from here.
* Advent of the Wurm and Sire of Insanity are the two rares that maintained/increased it's value.
* Warleader's Helix is now a one dollar uncommon. This card might be doing well in tests.
* Voice of Ressurgence is now closer to the U$ 30.00 mark.
This is a list of all Dragon's Maze cards with good value on the second market. It's good to have track of this sort of thing when you want to get your money back while drafting or to know the estimated value of booster and packs. The cards prices comes from TCG, a very common source of information.
i. This set has low variance. 10 of 35 rares buys your booster back and there are several U$ 1.50 to U$ 2.00 rares as well. The mythics also have a very balanced price, only 2 out of 11 mythics don't buy your booster back and 1 of then comes in extra slots (Maze's End).
ii. The average value is really, really low because shock lands are rarer. Normaly you see the top 10 value rare with 6~8 10 dollar rares mostly because of rare lands. There's some security in drafting this format as many rares are good for trade but the average value is low so in multiple drafts you burn more networth then drafting triple RTR or GTC.
iii. No worthy common and uncommon.
iv. Voice of Ressurgence and Ral Zayek prices are probably a bit too high at the moment. They will fall if both don't define standard's new decks. This is not a good moment to buy then as the prices will likely fall (only if only a little bit).
v. Many, many rares and mythic rares are niche cards. People are trading and testing then in all sort of rogue decks, that's why many have average prices. Depending on your LCG the prices of those cards might be much lower or a bit higher and with time most of those prices will reduce to the usual mythic and rare prices (U$ 1.5 and U$ 0.5 respectively).
vi. I believe in Aetherling. It might not be something for this meta, but that card will grow sooner or later. I think his a hidden gem like Thragtusk and Thundermaw Hellkite were. Speculate at your own risk through ! (I already have 7 of then).
Whenever a new set comes out, this is my favorite type of thread. Thanks for the value analysis, italofoca.
I am not a fan of the set and won't be buying any packs. I don't draft either, so I definitely won't be investing any money into the set's value. However, there are a few cards I want for certain EDH decks and will pick them up individually and eventually.
I wholeheartedly agree with you about Aetherling. That is one card I will pick up in trades if I ever can. He is solid and could very well go up in price.
I bought a paltry 4 boosters yesterday, and opened a VoR and a Ral Zarek in the first two packs. I thought about rejoicing vocally, but that would have been odd at target. Then I opened two Pyrewild Shaman in a row.. meh.
I like my odds with this set. Being a small set with a good number of value cards, I think I'll be buying a box.
I knew DGM didn't have a lot of powerful/money cards, but this is actually worse than I expected, especially since cards tend to go down in price as time goes on.
Voice of Resurgence will probably be the only card over 15$, Ral Zarek is probably gonna be around 10$, and then, the shocklands are your best pulls...
Aetherling has potential, but not much in my opinion.
I'm going to bet Notion Thief will be much more expensive soon enough.
Probably not going to break US$10,00 but like 7, 8 is a very real possibility, IMO
I think Aetherling is a very poor speculation target to be honest. It certainly feels like a fine finisher for slow blue decks but it is a card you ~never want to see a second copy of in your hand, has high casting cost and it's extremely mana intensive once in play. These are the kind of qualities that will keep the overall demand (and price by extension) pretty low even if the card is playable.
That's a good point. You're never unhappy to draw a second Hellkite, Thragtusk, or Reckoner because they can die to removal and multiples aren't bad. With AEtherling, one is all you need because it is invincible and unblockable: you never want multiples, you want to draw more cards to help you survive to win the game with it, or removal/counters to close out a race once one is on the battlefield. I also believe in AEtherling, since it is effectively "7 mana: GG" for control decks, but it will probably just be a 1 or 2-of for its tenure in standard. I think it'll climb up past $5, maybe even approaching $10, but speculating on it in the hopes it skyrockets into the $20+ dollar range like Reckoner or Thragtusk is a bad bet.

Yeah, I don't think AEtherling is great speculation because when you compare it to Thragtusk... Thragtusk costs one colored mana, once, and goes in more decks, Thragtusk is ten times better against aggressive decks, which own standard, and Tusk is a 4-of whereas AEtherling will only be a 2-of in whatever decks it goes in. I can't account for the future metagame but WotC has been pushing creatures and Aggro/midrange, not control mirrors...
The biggest question marks of the set are Varolz and Plasm Capture imho.
Another example of "a card you'd rather play over Aetherling" is Angel of Serenity. Not only does it work wonders in multiples, it also greatly helps when you are being beat down by a bunch of creatures, something which Aetherling doesn't do.
I always saw Aetherling as a complement to Angel of Serenity, much like how Craterhoof Behemoth complements it in Junk Rites. Whereas Angel of Serenity can help stabilize your position, Aetherling's purpose is to win you the game after being stable. I look forward to substituting out Prime Speaker Zegana for it.
The most annoying part of any game as a midrange or control deck is being at a stalemate in which you both have a ton of removal and the first person who wins the war of attrition likely wins the match on time. Aetherling is likely the best creature ever created at preventing this state.
And two of them is doable...if anything, it allows you to attack for 8 with 2 mana instead of 5 per turn.
I don't think aetherling is good to spec on because really its pricey manawise.
It will win, if you aren't getting raced there is very little the opponent can do. If you stabilize and drop aetherling with mana open you basically win.
That said not helping you stabilize does hurt a bit.
spec foil notion thiefs, the card might make it into legacy as its actually really strong against blue decks and by blue decks I mean any deck that uses cantrips in that format.
I would also spec on renounce the guilds (its a very strong effect and hasn't been done on a 2 mana instant before) and progenitor mimic who will have huge casual draw even if he doesn't see standard play. (I think he will, he's dumb as hell with eotb.
I agree with others regarding Aetherling. I think a few factors keep its value pretty low, despite it being a strong individual creature:
1. Won't see a lick of play in competitive formats other than Standard. Legacy, Modern, Vintage...none of them have any interest in this.
2. In Standard it is powerful, but very narrow in its application. Aetherling is essentially what you will find in the dictionary if you look up "dedicated control finisher". This means that most decks won't want it and even those that do will probably only want 1-2.
3. Look at the popular Standard cards that hit high prices and you will find at least one of three characteristics: Mythic, versatile and easy to cast so that lots of decks play it (current examples would be Snapcaster and Thragtusk), or sees lots of play in older formats. I just don't see Aetherling fitting any of those, so I just don't see enough demand for him to keep the price up. If he was mythic then this would be a much more interesting discussion, but at rare I just don't see the value.
4. Aetherling will see some casual/EDH/cube usage, but isn't enough of an auto-include to really help his price much IMO. In 2+ years his potential in those formats probably keeps him out of the bulk bin, but not by much.
I don't see anything else holding a high value (once people realise that Legion Initiative isn't great as it does too little for white creatures that are not red as a pump spell, and those are a large part of most aggro strategies)
Voice is just insane though - low cost, high impact and better in multiples. (If you get Wrathed with one out you have 1 power on the board, if Wrathed with two out you have 4 power to swing back with, goes to 2/6 if you play a creature that turn). Usually in sets with only one chase mythic they go high.
Edit: Aetherling. Good card but too many in print for it to be a high value card. Compare to Cruel Ultimatum which was never over $7 or so in Standard despite playing a similar role (closing out the game when you are ahead) and being better at it than Aetherling.
Honestly, at those prices Beck // Call is the only card among those listed that I would even consider speculating on, at least for the short term.
Other than that I think the set has a number of cards that will pay off the patient speculator, cards that have great casual value and will be worth more than people expect in 5+ years. But right now is certainly not the time to be buying into those cards. I think you wait at least a few months, probably til the next block is released or what you want starts to really bottom out, then start gobbling up the casual-friendly stuff.
Also wanted to add that I think Ral Zarek and VoR are both legit. Ral might be slightly high at 25, and I could see him dropping in the short term. But long term I think he is good enough to maintain real value, as he has applications in older formats as well as standard.
And VoR is one that I would watch for long term spec, as I think it will end up being another one of those crazy efficient dudes that has great value in older formats and ends up being very expensive when Modern / Legacy seasons roll around at some point.

People keep saying that but I just don't see where he'll make the cut except maybe vintage. The best thing I hear he can do in other formats is twiddle time vault which is fantastic but in legacy I think he's overshadowed by jtms and modern he's arguably worse than ajani vegeant.
I think Aetherling is hidden gem because he will be the finisher of choice if control makes a come back. Most aggro decks will loose a fair bit of strength with rotation (flintroof boar, stromkirk noble, champion of the parish, thalia) while Verdict/Sphinx Revelation/Azorius Charm will stay and this is the core of control decks.
Unless M14 and Theros bring a really strong 1R or 1G drop to be played along side BTE, aggro will fall in favor a bit. And strong creatures on that mana cost is not common at all.
It really depends on what Theros looks like but I think the early meta after rotation will be control mid-range / control fights and in that context aetherling is premier creature, better then AoS because he simply doesn't die to any kind of removal in the game.
Unless Theros gives good support to aggro decks and little support for midrange and control, i think the pendulum will swing.
Aetherling is a devoted control-on-control finisher. It's not optimal vs midrange/aggro/combo.
Come now, we all know combo no longer exists in Standard :).
But seriously, I agree with both posts above me.
I think that the major threat aggro poses right now comes from the blazing speed of BTE combined with the ridiculous synergy of humans. There is a possiblity that aggro exists in a more traditional style in the future, and this may cause control's overall popularity to increase.
Although Aetherling is a control on control finisher, decks will be packing 2 of them main with all likelihood if it catches on.

Even if it sees play as a 3-of in most control decks and control is better than it is now, that's not close to chase rare status.
Look at Supreme Verdict. 6-7 dollar card despite being an absolute 4-of in every viable control deck in the format and usually the second most critical card in the deck.
Ask this question - what deck will play more copies of Aetherling than it does of Verdict? Both are the same rarity (R2) so supply is similar. Decks will play mostly 4 Verdict and 1-3 Aetherling, or they may play 4 Verdict, 0 Aetherling and elect to use a different finisher (Serenity, five-mana mill Jace, or some as-yet unreleased planeswalker or other threat).

I think Supreme Verdict price is from RTR being open so much. I predict DGM is going to be open a lot less.

Answering the question: UB or Grixix. It has no representation in this meta, but UB or UBR is a common control archetype that might come back at any new set.
Also the supply is not the same. RTR will most likely have much more sales then DGM, which means all cards in RTR have a higher supply by default (comparing the same rarity of course). Set's popularity have HUGE impact on the card's price. Depending on sale and in extreme cases, a DMG rare might be actually rarer then a RTR mythic.
Aetherling (pretty much like Boros Reckoner) only needs a couple of appearances on tier 1 decks to boost it's price significantly. It's surely not going to hit the level of Reckoner price though.
Anyway, Advent of the Wurm and Sire of Insanity have performed very well and should keep/increase their value. Voice of Resurgence and Ral Zarek have been performing well, but nowhere near well enough to keep their ridiculously high price points. The other cards should also go down in price.
Hopefully, people will now stop thinking Legion's Initiative and Plasm Capture are good. Seriously, talk about obviously bad cards getting hyped...

Low impact +1, the 'defend itself' ability is -2 (albeit high impact) and the ultimate, while nasty, is not game over.
He's not a high impact play at 4 mana. As a Standard-legal PW he will be played, but he's no Sorin 2.0 much less a Lilliana 2.0.
