The only eternal format I could reasonably afford to be interested in is Pauper. Is it reasonable to hope for reprints of stuff like Oubliette and Chained Lightning and the costly-for-Pauper blue staples to level out the MTGO pricing?

Chain Lightning is a super possible reprint. Oubliette probably not since it hadn't even spiked by the time this set would have been finalized.

It's reasonable yeah, so they probably won't be in the set. Daze was the only card that was really expensive, and that's because it's also a 4-of in a lot of legacy decks. There are a surprising amount of $4-5 sideboard cards though, plus Pyro/Hydroblast are over $10. Also Chain Lightning will be at mythic.

Daze is in at uncommon, so that should help a lot for blue based decks. Hydroblast is the only other blue card that's really high for a common I think. I wouldn't be surprised to see Oubliette and Chain Lightning as well, although Chain Lightning is 5 cents, and Oubliette is under 2 tix online. I'd be looking more for Hydroblast, Pyroblast, Snap, Gorilla Shaman, Cuombajj Witches, etc. There are a lot of commons online that are higher than Oubliette right now. I'm sure some will be reprinted.

I'm sure some will be reprinted. IIRC Oubliette was pretty expensive on MTGO a while back but mono-black seems to have dropped off pretty hard. Why play that when you can just have turn 1 Delver, turn 2 flip with Counterspell 100% of the time?

I had Oubliette and Chain Lightning as examples of cards that were considerably more expensive in paper when I was looking for cards that were pricey on MTGO. Brainfart. Hydroblast/Pyroblast/Cuombajj are the ones I should have mentioned as you picked up. I want to draft this set online and was curious in advance if they might use it as an opportunity to reprint cards that won't affect any paper values but would balance the online prices.

The world of Scourge is long gone and the names are generic enough to apply to anywhere; it makes more sense than having a mix of green and non-green elves. The Wirewood is a place on Otaria

The biggest reason to own an English legends karakas instead of Italian is that the Italian one doesn't have flavor text.

Man the EV of this set is insane (obviously not timg) In less exciting news  Possibly just a Cool Card, possibly point towards some spells matter stuff being RB or RU. Storm is -probably- still an archetype, but it has to be BX and BR seems weird, if not impossible. Skyl3lazer fucked around with this message at 18:24 on May 24, 2016 |

When is it usually the best time to buy newly reprinted cards? I want a top for my EDH deck but I know absolutely nothing about #mtgfinance, so I don't know whether it's going to be at it's cheapest on day 1 or day 999.

Probably not gonna go under 10. It depends how badly you want to play with it.

Most of the MMA2 cards had their largest price dips ~5mo after MM2 came out. That said, you can get tops for <$20 already, so just buy one when they get down to 15 or so and you won't pay more than about 5$ more than the lowest they'll ever be, worst case scenario.

Considering you only need 1 copy I might jump on it at $16, especially because I can't remember the last time I saw one for that cheap. If you needed a playset I might say wait and see if EMA brings the price down further.

Skyl3lazer posted:Did the oracle text get even longer? I mean, if they were to print it today, it would probably look more like:  The problem is the issue with making it an Aura in all zones because "Enchant Dead Creature" makes no sense because it would drop off when the creature stopped being in a graveyard. They actually changed that in like Fifth Edition, but then changed it back because functional errata. I think Necromancy has similarly long errata text.
