It seems like for the last little while the only expensive standard cards have been Mythics. I think the only Standard rare over $10 right now is Walking Ballista. Is that normally, or is there more reliance on mythics in standard decks right now than usual?

Hangarback was pushing $20, Mutavault was over $30, Kolaghan's Command was in the low teens. Thoughtseize was in the teens. Fetches were obviously in the teens or more. Most of them had some non-standard demand but were mostly inflated from standard demand. Mutavault was around $20 before it was reprinted and was close to $40 for a while after, IIRC. It's not very common but it does happen. Edit: I think Courser was over $10 for a while too.

Caryatid was a dumb rare price during KTK standard for a while too. Blurgh I spent so much on cards that standard but at least I played a ton.

Copter was getting up there pre-banning, wasn't it? It's too bad every standard deck relies on 4-ofs of expensive mythics, cause rares are hella cheap.

Courser of Kruphix, Rabblemaster, Boros Reckoner just off the top of my head were consistently expensive for their entire standard rein except near the end.

Count Bleck posted:Nightveil Spectre and Desecration Demon did this as well. Nightveil was a pretty unique case because it could have gone in either top deck at the time (Mono-B or Mono-U Devotion), though I can't remember if both actually ran it. But I definitely picked four up at a dollar each for non-Standard reasons, then offloaded them on our resident grognard for $40 of useless EDH crap. One of my finer mtgfinance moments.

Both decks played it. Even with that as a buy-a-box promo (which was roundly denounced on launch because Supreme Verdict was obviously so much better) the price was over 10 for a while. The transition from RTR to THS is probably the best seeding for the next block they have ever done. Those hybrid mana costs worked in so many decks. Devotion was a great mechanic and I hope it is already back for the Mummy Gods.

Maro is already a card though, so they'd have to pick someone else if they wanted to go full Slifer.

Re: $5 Fatal Push - I've heard (and have no reason to disbelieve, given all the other tomfuckery) that Push is a U1, which honestly makes sense when I consider the 15 each Ralliers, Herbalists etc I've opened in the same number of packs which have yielded to date 3 Pushes. I have 2 more Greenwheel Liberator than Fatal Push. No, I know, anecdata, but has anyone else noticed Push at mythic (see also Lightning Bolt, Magic 2010)?

Pontius Pilate posted:And goyf growth. That was why tribal was kind of a trainwreck. It worked really well within the context of Lorwyn block but then Wizards realized it was something they couldn't consistently do past that without loving up a lot of things because tons of old cards would have to either be heavily errataed or be left in the dust of not being future-proofed, so they dropped it entirely apart from the occasional Eldrazi spell. We'll probably see it come back if we do a return to Lorwyn block, but who knows. Tubgoat posted:Good enough to play Goblin Grenade in a tournament whose payout is in money?
