this question isn't even really all that true, the eldrazi are still exiling things in this set pretty regularly it seems so processors will still be enabled

i mean yeah we haven't seen the commons yet maybe it's all at rare and thus bad but i don't think the concern is actually valid tbh

I don't really think that expeditions are a price control though. They sure haven't worked that way for fetches. This is just modern being dumb again.

I'm not saying they are, but them not being reprinted as expeditions is like ringing a bell and letting every dumb speculator know that the price is either stable or too low.

MTG finance is a dumb thing.

The price jump for Grove is very recent:

The lows adhere to the previous average, it's most likely due to speculation on B&R and OGW.

Which turned out to be a great decision.

In case anyone was ever considering listening to my opinion on #mtgfinance, I held my Misty Rainforest EXP long enough for it to only sell for like $180 and its $300 now.

That Processor deck seems okay, but it seems like it would just be better to play playsets of Eldrazi Temple, Eye of Ugin, Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth and just drop a bunch of Eldrazi Mimics, Thought-Knot Seers and Reality Smashers, and then just run a bunch of cheap disruption and Paths.

I think it's leaning that way right now - a lot of the blight herder/ramp tricks are going out the door in favor of being a stompy midrange deck full of black & white's best disruption.

I still don't think Eye or Urborg should be 4-ofs. You draw dead far too often.

Hangerback was out of the format before this was even printed. This is just more splash damage that hits it.

Devoid Dissipate is meh but Dissipate was played back in Innistrad so who knows it may be played again, tho I think Scatter has better value usually

Also probably planning ahead as a hedge / way to interact with decks featuring possible graveyard stuff in Innistrad next set, which is when we had Dissipate.
