I could be wrong but I'm not sure that the Hoog has even won anything on the SCG tour.

I know he has top 8's but I don't think he's ever won an Open or an Invi

He is going to continue to stretch these open top8's for the rest of his life. Its his only claim to fame and nobody else is going to push harder. He completely lacks any shame or self awareness.

I actually did enjoy his paper streams for a little bit but they just got too cringy. He has to be the hardest person to be friends with.

Well it appears the prices that were falling fast last week recovered a little bit over the weekend. Goyf is almost back to 90 bucks with lily and others taking a small jump. I don't expect it to last but it is interesting to say the least. I would think that supply would outpace demand in the next few weeks allowing stuff to drop again.

The demand has been crazy high and I overestimated how long a dip would last on the mythics. Facebook groups are almost entirely buying posts with few sellers.

People were buying, because TCG was doing a 3% kickback until yesterday. Prices should be dropping normally now.

Nah that's just a card that's only available in one edh precon so it's really vulnerable to buyouts. There's not really much demand for it.

I mean there's precedent for new cards from EDH sets to be expensive because they see Legacy play (TNN, Containment Priest), and a number of cards are expensive solely because of EDH play (OG Avacyn), but this one I don't get. It's a multi-target O-Ring without the abusable wording?

I mean EDH is pretty popular and it was only printed once two years ago in a smaller print-run, higher-cost product so I could see it I guess
