Btw, if you want to see Todd Stevens get smashed in the middle of a weekday he is streaming for 12 hours and has been drinking since 10am.

Ravnica block: you needed Remands, Spell Snares, Lightning Helix so I see good uncommons being worth $5 if you play $3.99 retail for basic packs and $10.99 (?) for Eternal and Modern Master packs.

It depends on a lot of factors. Dismember stayed at close to 5 and had much less implications for eternal formats, but it was much less drafted due to being in the third set from a block. The paper market is much less fluid than MTGO, where fatal push has fallen to under two tickets. I don't really play the MTGO long game of buying cards to sell later, but you wouldn't be foolish for buying 20 now and sitting on them, it'll be worth 4-5 tickets in a couple years without fail. Back when I was a heavy drafter I used to never sell my lands and right before set rotation I'd buy 4 play sets on modo of all the essential mana fixing, and like clockwork sell off last years which were of course suddenly in short supply as they hadn't been drafted in so long. I don't think I ever lost money on a single dual land, although some appreciated less than a ticket depending on how the format shook out, but it was always worth double whatever I paid in aggregate, and in the case of fetch lands and man lands it was absurd. I remember creeping tar pit in particular quadrupling in value while it was in standard. E: haha watching Numot and he just said chests dropped in price already just due to the announcement.

Besides, he has made it known that he intends to quit his career and do magic full time. Also considering he is a math teacher he would have to massively gently caress up to get fired.

But yes it made vintage really bad.

Its also a card that doesn't have a reasonable replacement.

I really love how many goofy-rear end cards Death's Shadow plays. Like, imagine going back in time two years and telling people that the top deck in Modern would be playing Death's Shadow, Street Wraith, Mishra's Bauble, Ghor-Clan Rampager, and Tarfire.
