Prophecy also had several Rebels and Mercenaries, including the Informers. -
May 22, 2015KnickM posted a message on The Running Tally of Current Sets for May 22, 2015JIN shows Eidolon of the Great Revel as going up 4 cents, but the listed "biggest winner" is Mana Confluence at +0. Why the disparity?Posted in: Articles

Feb 4, 2014KnickM posted a message on Launch Giveaway!I know that it's an absurdly bad card, but I think that my favorite card is still Gabriel Angelfire. I remember when I first got one for my GW deck, before it was reprinted in Chronicles. I had a choice - for $17 I could get either Gabriel or the Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale. I was advised by the store owner to get the Tabernacle, and I kind of wish I'd followed that advice now, but I bought Gabriel and shuffled him into my 65 (60 card deck? What's that?). I don't know that I drew him in more than a handful of games, but I really liked playing with a Legend.Posted in: Announcements

While yes, the majority of miscuts these days are NFC, old-school miscuts can have the front and back aligned. I have a Vesuvan Doppleganger that I opened from a pack in the mid-90s. It's miscut, and the front matches the back. They can be real, even if the majority of them are not.
When this site was sold, most of the mods packed up and created www.mtgnexus.com .
QFT.
That said, when someone talks about "investing" in the game, I always hear that as "I have spare money, and I want to play the game in a way that is most enjoyable to me." If that means splashy foils, great. If that means Revised duals, wonderful. Manage your game portfolio, and acquire cards cheaply so that you can trade for what you want, or so that you can play the deck you want. Always remember that there's the possibility that the game crashes with the rest of the economy. Should I have flipped my duals? Probably. Will I regret not doing so if WOTC goes under tomorrow? Not at all. They're cool, and I enjoy playing with them. Just because WOTC dies doesn't mean that I won't be able to play with my friends.
It *was* in fact a promo that was given away by the bushel.
I believe that for 8th Edition it was Elvish Champion. For 9th Edition it was definitely Serra Angel.
Nice, but I'm done with eBay. They screwed me out of $150 by siding with a zero-feedback buyer rather than my 22-year-old account with perfect feedback. I'm not giving them another penny - ever.
You're looking at foil, not market foil. It probably sold out (there are only two listings at the time of this writing), and someone posted one at a ludicrous price.

This kind of thing happens all the time.
Hey there Onyxstorm, welcome to MTGS. Artist proof prices are pretty subjective. Academy is an objectively powerful card that is very popular, so I'd put it somewhere in the $25-$50 range. That's just a guess, though - I think that I paid about $20 for my copy, but that was a while ago.
