Quote from bocephusQuote from SPCMutavault is expensive because of standard, nothing else. Once it rotates out it will go back to being $15-20 Go back? It was $30+ before it was reprinted, and it went up after the reprint. Everyone can hope it drops, if it does it wont be by much. I expect it to be $30-$50 after it rotates.

Quote from MikeageddonYeah, I picked a playset up for $15 a piece shortly after the reprint. I'll add that it was at that price with people knowing it would see play in standard as well as the play it already sees in Modern and Legacy. It'll definitely drop, people said geist, karn and mox opal wouldn't drop on rotation and they all did and all saw a good amount of play outside of standard at the time. They may be more now but they all tanked in price during rotation.
Quote from bocephusTime will tell, I am saying it wont go below $30 after the initial dip after rotation.
Quote from JaceTheWalletShredder Ehrmagersh, a new deck is doing well. Breakz out de banhammerz!
Quote from ValanarchQuote from bocephusTime will tell, I am saying it wont go below $30 after the initial dip after rotation. Restoration Angel is played a ton in Modern yet it dropped a lot after rotation.

Restoration Angel is played a ton in Modern yet it dropped a lot after rotation. Resto is not comparable to mutavault. Like I said, time will tell. We will see in a few months, no sense in arguing about it.

We will see in a few months, no sense in arguing about it. For Standard cards that will see play in Modern, the best time to get them is right after rotation. They will no longer be in Standard, but there will still be supply because they were just printed in a Standard set. After a short period, the price will go back right up, often times even higher than what they were in Standard. So the best time to get Mutavault is right after rotation.

They may be more now but they all tanked in price during rotation. I never said they wouldnt, but its a small window from about August - October when the dip happens, then they start climbing again. That $15 price you got was from the flood of those being held by speculators/stores. They will dry up again.

Is it because Mutavault is even more playable in Standard while being less playable in Modern so it backs up my point?
Quote from JPoJohnsonAnd I bought it at $12 when it was in standard. Case and point? My point is that there are some cards that see a lot of play in formats beyond standard and when they are no longer printed, the supply is cut off. I'm not saying it happens to every card, I'm saying you have to be knowledgeable as to where certain cards see play in order to buy at the right time.

It was already established in several modern/legacy/casual/EDH decks before it saw play in current standard. Restoration Angel was a brand new card. I see no way in which these two cards are comparable.

Liliana of the Veil and Geist of Saint Traft both raised in value after they rotated out of standard. If it sees a LOT of play outside of standard, then of course the card is going to raise after it is no longer printed. It's a case by case scenario.
Quote from bocephusYou are comparing a 4CMC creature card to a colorless manland. The colorless manland will always be in more demand then a 4 CMC creature card. I am talking Legacy, EDH, Modern, cube. Yes they are in Standard right now and The price is comparably the same it was before the reprinting. Yes it dipped, I understand it dipped. It will dip again at rotation, but it will climb because a colorless manland will always be in more demand then a 4CMC creature card. Lets see what the price is after rotation, after it levels off when it starts to climb.
Quote from BatHickeywasn't resto a promo too for buying a box or something?
Quote from bocephusWhat people are failing to realize, there are other formats that mutavault is played in. There was a reason mutavault was a $30-$40 card before the reprinting. Adding it its colorless bumps it up even more. Everyone comparing it to 4CMC and 5CMC cards does not understand what a comparable card is.
