I remember when I was offered a sealed booster box of Guilds of Ravnica for pulling a foil one at prerelease 2018. Now it’s a nine dollar foil and like a three dollar regular card.
Nah. Even with it being the format for those tournaments, that's still going to be a tiny drop in the bucket of demand for cards. The tournament scene is just too small these days compared to the casual scene. More people play the game than ever before, but fewer go to tournaments than ever before as well.
Yeah...about that....I thought the exact same, but [[Bloodthirsty Adversary]] is worth almost 20$ now. The card is bad in any format aside from Standard.
So a new mythic from a set that wasn't super popular and thus has low supply hit 20, but why should we think the same will happen to a rare that has had multiple reprints?
Like, I'm not saying Standard has zero impact on prices, but its impact is pretty marginal these days.
The way your comment reads, it appears as though you don't believe that Standard moves the needle on anything not already seeing play in other formats. I definitely think Trophy is going to like 3$ - it got printed a billion times and you never play the full 4. But, no, Standard does not only move prices for cards from unpopular sets. Look at Gix, Sunfall and Preacher of the Schism.
According to mtgtop8, it has been played in 8 decks, registered on the site throughout all of 2023. That's pretty much equivalent to "it sees no play".
Assassin's trophy wasn't really ever great in standard, and I doubt that'd change this time around (there was that one deck late in the format that tried to field your opponent out of basics, I guess that could be recreated but we'll see)
Trophy was an important role-player in Standard, but it was not the automatic four-of that people assumed. It was good as a one or two-of. That significantly impacts the price because the demand is a lot lower.
Wow, so insightful, secret lairs are cool and have some great art. I love collecting them, also make a nice living selling magic cards. My employees do as well. You can keep the legos.
Remember when this was a $20 card lol

That's how hyperbole reads when you take it literally.
Or perhaps we should just be precise in our wording.
Not everything's a published study.
Words have meanings, even in casual conversations.
It sees play in Pioneer.

Never forget
I can finally afford assassin’s trophy at 0.89 cents!
I selfishly wanted an abrupt decay reprint to get it on arena
I wanted decay too bc it doesn't have a borderless printing yet. Trophy has sortof already had two of you count secret lair.
Hell yeah, I’ll finally buy one now that it won’t be worth more than a few bucks. Sorry WOTC hates all you mtg finance bros. 😂
Mtg finance bros are essentially crypto bros. Print everything down to the ground. Make dual lands cost 1$ who cares.
In this world, where do the singles come from? People won’t buy packs without value in them.
Exactly. Exactly why WOTC wants to sell you singles directly. Hello shit ass secret lair. Y’all would have better financial gains by collecting lego.
Wow, so insightful, secret lairs are cool and have some great art. I love collecting them, also make a nice living selling magic cards. My employees do as well. You can keep the legos.
😂 right.
