I think Thalia could see play, but with all the value in EM's rare/mythic cards there is no way she is a $8 in three weeks. Testing could change things for me, but I can't see buying until it is below $5. I would jump in at $3 or less. In between those I would just have to gut call it.
What really hurts it for the kind of deck I would use her in (D&T, maybe Hatebears) is that it competes with some very strong cards at 3 cmc. With decks like that you are edging into "finisher" territory (4 cmc top out most of the time), and she doesn't do that.
Thalia will be a $3 dollar card a month from now unless she really blows up in standard. Spell Queller is the hard one for me to evaluate I have tested it and it is really good. Being a non Mythic Gold card makes me think it falls from current prices but it's going to see a lot of play in standard and modern.
Grim Flayer seems Modern playable somewhere. Maybe. But when's the right time to buy? I saw it come down from $15 to $12 so I bit the bullet, but did I make a mistake?

I am a Johnny who likes to play around with cute cards, and I almost always buy to play with very little eye towards flipping them.
The cards I am willing to get at current TCG Market price: Tamiyo, Field Researcher x2- I tend to hedge my bets on borderline PW and only buy 2 at the time of release if they interest me. Those are some SOLID activated abilities, and bant really should be the colors that could make the mana cost lest painful, but three colors is rough. I really like her with Oath of Nissa. Nibilis of Frost x4- 4 mana is expensive, but it is the kind of card I really like trying to break and at $0.58 it is almost a risk free purchase. Elder Deep-Fiend x4- This one I am eyeing more for Standard play, and might be a card I trade away if it peeks well enough, but the potential for value plays fills me with delight. At around $5 it is a bit of a risk, so this is probably my biggest gamble.

There is no universe in which Tamiyo stays at $30 dollars. No planeswalker (besides jace and Nahiri) is above $20 dollars. She is a 3 color planeswalker that needs to be in decks with lots of creatures. She will be $15ish or lower imho.

Yikes, anybody privy to main cause for the jump of Mishra's Bauble? I finished building a Suicide Zoo deck back in April, so I know it's a 4-of there, but unaware of other decks/formats where it sees play. I'm curious if Suicide Zoo performed well in a recent event or if the spike is more so related to Bauble only being printed in Coldsnap? Hell, probably both; I'm just interested as to why it spiked now and whether you folks think it'll sustain price or dip back down and settle somewhere above it's previous cost.

It did very well in a bunch of the WMCQ's last weekend. Either spiking due to bandwagon jumpers or a related buy-out, I'd guess. I just finished building a full version of it, so I'm glad I got these first as I had a feeling they'd spike after some time.
Suicide Zoo continues to do well, it saw play in last weekend's WMCQs, it's speculated to be a big enabler for Delirium which people think may find a home in Modern, and by the quantities available it looks like there MAY have been a buyout, but I'm not sure about that last one.
Mishra's Bauble spike is more likely based from recent results than buy out. I realized long time ago I cant afford to play ever deck in the format anyways. Good time to move out copies to invest in other cards.

When I posted that the price I was seeing was about $21 where I was looking. I don't see her being more than $9 on either side of that price so if I am only buying 2 right now that is an acceptable risk. If she goes way down I will have lost a bit, but I also won't want more than two for brewing and EDH. If she hangs out at 30+ for some reason then she will probably hit my hard limit of what I will spend on a card, so I won't buy them anyway.
Mishra's Bauble spike is more likely based from recent results than buy out.
Agreed.
One of the things about Bauble is that this is the second time it has spiked, and that means it is easier to spike higher and the price won't go back down as quickly. The reason for this is the first time it spikes all the players that pay attention see the price and go into their collection, dig out the copies they forgot about, and sell them. When the second spike comes around there are now a lot fewer copies in collections, because individuals sold them to dealers last spike, and it is these individual sales that keep spikes from being long lasting. Every spike after that means fewer and fewer copies not in the hands of dealers (or folks like me who maintain a collection), which means less competition, which means higher prices over all.
Any chances for the current price of Nahiri, The Harbinger to rebound? She has been on a steady decline now.
Not really. She isn't in good colors in Standard to see much play with these sets so maybe Kaladesh changes that when it comes out. For now I doubt that it goes up at all. Expect her to keep going down as Shadows gets opened more.

It's buyout is because specs think that delirium is modern playable. Doubtful that the card is worth that price so move it while you can.

That sounds like the most plausible explanation. I'm getting rid of the 2 I have.
Take advantage of spikes while you can. Once the market starts accounting for the fact that Modern isn't a competitive format any more they'll be much fewer and further between.

It's the third most competitive format and it's demands are still extremely high just based on format popularity. It not being a PT format will affect prices to a small degree but not by *that* much.

Prices will certainly be affected. I didn't say they won't be. But we won't get the crazy price spikes associated with competitive speculation and "modern season." There basically isn't a Modern season any more since most PPTQs changed away from Modern once it got dropped from the PT. Modern cards will still come with a premium, but prices will remain much steadier (whether high or low) comparatively and won't spike. There's a difference between high because of normal demand and spike because a pro posted new tech in time for a PTQ or top 8'd a PT.
I post this in Modern prices becasue my collection is 95% Modern based.
So I got my first real job recently Ive finished up Uni and Ive found I really don't have time or the interest to play MTGO anymore.
I have something like 1.3k USD worth of cards and im debating on cashing out or just leaving it all there for when I may want to play again.
I know I will play MTG again but these days its more likely to be IRL commander with friends for the social aspect.
I doubt I will play much this year or the next and about the only thing I can see that might bring me back in is MM2017 if it exists.
I don't "need" the money now but money is money I guess the question is are my MTGO cards going to appreciate more then whatever I use the money to buy. If I where to play sooner then I expected I should be in a position to just drop 1k on the game. So it might be demoralizing to learn that snapcaster and co have doubled but it wont be the end of the world.

Thoughts?
I would dump MTGO. I did so myself for about $800 a couple months ago and never looked back. I would be super hesitant about selling a paper collection, but MTGO cards are such a liquid product (can be bought and sold instantly) and they can be sold for such a little loss (no hit on shipping, just PayPal fees) that it seemed fine. I figured that if I can't mirror my paper collection fully, then it was just another digital videogame that happened to be really, really expensive. If I feel the need to play MTGO, I just open up Steam and play one of the other dozens of games I have. The only reason to keep the collection, IMO, is if you use it for extensive testing of a particular deck, since you can get tons and tons of more games in vs playing in paper.
Also, as far as Commander goes, I made that transition myself (but for different reasons, I fell out of love with Modern as a primary format after Twin was banned) and have put most of my creative effort and playtime into Commander. It's an awesome and fun social format for friends to play, and depending on how chill your playgroup is, can be extremely cost-effective when using proxies. Thanks to my group's lax policy of printing out cards in front of basic lands, each of us have 3-6 decks of varying power levels with mostly real cards. It gives a lot of variety as well as letting people try stuff out before dumping cash into a deck they may or may not like. Then when you find one or more that really suits you, buy up as much as is reasonable to make it all real cards (a lot of Commander stuff is <$5 and you can combine for a large TCG Player order).

I sold my MTGO collection that I'd had since Champions of Kamigawa in April of last year. I'd had plenty of periods where in I just stopped playing online for whatever reason, once for a couple of years, but after Modern started I gave it more attention. I was looking for deals on cards that would allow me to play archetypes that I could not yet play in meatspace, and even though I was not super aggressive with buying/selling/trading I'd amassed a decent collection, though I had no idea what the price a dealer might give me for the cards. The thing that really made me leave is that I didn't have the time to devote to playing competitive Modern (leagues had not come back yet), and even when I did it was never much of a draw for me. I play tested decks I had in meatspace a fair bit, but even then it felt like something I felt I should do rather than something I wanted to do. I didn't mind the interface as much as other folks, though my laptop is pretty old and the memory leaks were crippling at times. It was more the realization that without the social aspect the game was not as much of a draw. It felt like homework that I was doing so that I could go out to the shop, have fun playing Modern, and not get crushed entirely.
Though, if I'm honest, the thing that really really got me to sell it was the quote I got. I had been thinking about it so I got a quote from MTGO Traders just to see what it would be, and I was stunned. I thought it would be like maybe $600, and I wasn't sure if that was enough for me to not just come back to it like I had so many times, but (and I can't believe I forgot how much the quote was for) it was something like $3200. I read that email like 10 times thinking I'd read it wrong, and even printed it out because I knew my wife would never believe me. That was enough for me to sell out of an online game, that I played only sparingly, in a hot minute. I took something like $500 in trade credit from their brick and mortar paper card affiliate, but the rest was cash money that I was thrilled to put into family savings (I gave myself a few hundred $ to play with).
Here is what I'd say to you: I don't think that your collection, on the whole, is going to get devalued if you leave it. If you really don't need the money and you think you might spend it anyway if you sold your collection, then there is really no good reason to liquidate it. That is if you are confidant that you won't want to play much MTGO some time in the future. You can wait to decide that, too. If you have things like Fetches, Shocks, Snapcaster, Hierarch, and Confidant - cards that will be mainstays of the format and are not likely to get significantly cheaper, then your overall $ value is not going to be going down. If you think you might want to play again next summer then I would just mothball it and decide later.
... was to change my password to something very complex and meaningless - the kind of password that is extraordinarily hard to crack, but you would never use if you were playing because it is obnoxious to type all the time; record that password in a secure place that I would remember and know that I'd be able to find in a year, then just walked away from the account. My son had an unfortunate experience with another online game when he stopped playing for several months in which he came back only to find someone had cracked his convenience password that was shared with a couple other things, and just took all of the gear and stuff he'd acquired. It had been done long enough from the time he found out that it was impossible to try and recover his stuff, so when I made mine as impossible to crack as I could. That might be a bit paranoid of me, though.
I guess the disadvantage is that if I come back in 2 years and all of a sudden all my decks are worth double. If they are all ~20% more then who really cares.
I never got to play paper much other then commander with my casual group. Which is why I played MTGO in the first place. Ive moved to a new town for that job and so its even harder for me to do paper (though I could just go to the local store).
Im leaning towards sell but I haven't really thought of anything I'd used the money for and that's why I hesitate, I'm very far from buying a house or something.
The collection has stayed roughly ~1300 for the past year or so with me buying and selling a few things here and there. So I cant really expect it to be a "good" investment to leave there money wise. Given Ive spent ~900 AUD to get that ~USD collection it wasn't really that bad of an original investment.
Boy I wish I cashed out last week and bought Nintendo stocks.
I don't care for it at all. I think the art is awful, boring, generic, and does nothing for the feel of what the card is or should be. It's even worse than the Stoneforge Mystic GP Promo. He's probably going to keep going down because most people willing to shell out cash for bling copies will just get ISD foils. Which, I suppose, is great news if you actually like the art!
What really hurts it for the kind of deck I would use her in (D&T, maybe Hatebears) is that it competes with some very strong cards at 3 cmc. With decks like that you are edging into "finisher" territory (4 cmc top out most of the time), and she doesn't do that.
