Somehow found a place selling foil Kor Spiritdancer for 5.99 (with .99 shipping as well).. snapped that one off because it seems that card is in the running to move up a few more dollars.
Need to go back to Replay in Lansing and dig through more common/uncommon/bulk rare boxes so I can maybe find something else besides the Remand I found.
Where is the hype for the Aura deck coming from? That's what I'd really like to know. My first assumption is Theros being enchantment-based, but part me wonders if a pro wrote a random article telling everyone to put auras on hexproof creatures.
Reid Duke also made the finals of the Players (World) Championship with GW hexproof. A lot of the cards increased in value.. including Horizon Canopy and Keen Sense, as well as Kor Spiritdancer (going up a bit today). Your assumption on Theros being enchantment-based is also spot on. If any powerful Auras are printed in the set, Spiritdancer gets better and better.
Foil divinity is only $6. Sorin in pile A is running $8-9, valakut and ob nix are another $2-3 each. I'd take A.
Assuming that the Divinity is from MM, which is the most likely case, but if it is an eventide version.. then it's significantly more (outside of the one low copy that is on tcg).
I went to a random store today that doesn't go through their cards that well. Found a Remand and a starter Sleight of Hand.. got them for .25 each. Was nice to find those. Might go back to dig some more later.
We all have that feeling like we wish we would've speculated on certain things... especially stuff you knew would go up in value.
PR was horrible for me. I opened two mediocre pools and went 2-1 (6 prize packs) and 4-3 (4 prize packs). Most expensive card I opened was primeval bounty, the rest were bulk rares. Was forced into 3 colors both pools, as I didn't have enough ways to win with 2 color options.. oh well.
Only noteworthy play of the day was playing Bounty turn 4 and playing 3 creatures turn 5.
There's a comparison of Donaldson and Machado a week ago
It definitely sucks that the good 3B's are pretty much all in the AL, but Machado was just wrong.
Donaldson is the much better hitter, that's a given (.384 wOBA and 148 WRC+ as opposed to Machado's .351 and 119 respectively), but Machado makes up all of the offensive value lost due to be an excellent defender. Defensive metrics aren't as defined and polished as offensive metrics at the moment however because every you look Machado is actually having a better season (4.2 fWar and 5.0 rWar to 4.1 fWar to 4.1 rWar). Considering it is so close, I agree Donaldson should have made it over Machado because generally having a better bat in the All-Star game is more relevant. It also helps that Machado hasn't done much offensively this month, either. Also, RBI's are overrated, they shouldn't have been highlighted there.

That would be too predictable
I know!
It most certainly is, I love me some withered wretch.

This place is whatever you want it to be
I'll be back in the EL area shortly, you can do that in real life

Of course I'm alive.
Why is that?

Souls is also a 3 of in the DGM event deck and in the Sorin Vs Tibalt duel deck.
Pretty jelly of those signed foil deathrites. Hoping to get my set signed eventually
