Tagg the Terror of Death's Decks: The Price is Right?

New Speculation: Updated 7/8/12

Ill do something new here and tell you cards to pick up in the long run (meaning like 2-3 years from now). Faithless looting, a 10 cent card, pick them up and stock up they will be a $1-2 common, scars block cards Gut shots, a 1$ pick them up for 50 cent if you can they will stay a 1$+ card. beast within, mortor pod, dismember are all good to pick up after rotation. they will be good trade bait for modern and legacy players.

also lingering souls has been losing a LOT of favor, so PICK THEM UP!!!! 1$-2$ is fair, they are a 5$ uncommon. just as powerful as kitchen finks.

M13 cards. As always i am going to say stay away from the walkers at their hyped prices, they will stay around 15$ now, unless it is tibalt, which is like a 4$ card now XD. pick up the vampire nighthawks while you can. they will be a staple for any black control like deck.

Trading post is the only card I suggest picking up. it is perfect for control decks and offer tons of options, plus you can not beat $1 investment.

Old Speculations:1/11/12
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad: 54.99,Moonveil Dragon: 2.49, Falkenrath Aristocrat: 8.99, Drogskol Reaver, 9.99
Hey all Tagg here, just speculating the prices for the mythics of the Dark ascension set. Based on Standard. huntmaser of the fells 15$

Let's look at the creackdown of the creatures in the set, Out of all the creatures Falkenrath Aristocrat is the only one that can become indestructible, however All the creatures fail the dismember test(a card that is a 1 maindeck or 3 of sideboard), so before these guys go up, they will peak after the scars block cycle. Moonveil Dragon might become a 2 of but for it to be at it's best it needs to have at least one other creature along side it or else it is just a shivan dragon, on turn 6, it should be your only creature on the field, i suggest skipping out on this. Falkenrath Aristocrat, with wring flesh still being played and dismember both costing 1 mana, it is easy to respond and kill it and bypass the pump, furthermore with the cheaper tokens in the white colors you will have to use 3 colors in a deck to make it at it's best, (vapor slag is still a relevent player as a 4 of in blue agro decks) so it might not be wise to invest in the 9$ card. Drogskol Reaver, a 10$ card, is probubly the only creature that has a chance to go up in my opinion, but that chance is still very slim because of dismember. a turn 7 spell (turn 5 if you play two pristene tailismans, which is where this card is gonna go into) you want to play this card WITH countermagic mana up. so it is a very very slow win condition but when he is out and you gain that life you get a 2 card lead, with the tailisman you get 1 card for EACH tailisman!!! perfect for control decks, I would still wait to pick these up a bit before the scars block rotates, just because seven mana is a lot to invest in a body.

huntmaser of the fells is really good, will probably be worth more, but it will be eather really good or really bad, the thing is he encourages you to play spells and MAKE him flip back and forth, but you do not have the card draw to keep it up. I would trade for these cards over any other mythic. it will be really good for red instant decks with aggression. I think red deck withs with a splash of green just for this guy in order to get the most value out of him

Sorin, Lord of Innistrad at 54.99, but is he really worth it? there is a LOT of hype over this card, so lets break it down, ultimate to second, to first abbility.

First and for-most, NO walker ultimate should ever go off, if it does you probably are already winnning the game, furthermore if you are able to lvl up a walker you probably still have board control and a large presence. also the ulti requires your opponent to have cards on the board, however in order to defend sorin, you probably want to reduce their board presence leaving you with the small creatures to take control of (wizards was VERY aware of this). His second ability, which is probably the only reason tokens will be played, if you drop him turn 4 and then gain that emblem right away, it is equivalent to dropping honor of the pure or Intangible Virtue(more this because it is for tokens) which cost 2 mana and leaves you open for other spells. it is a cute ability, but only good when you get 2 of those emblems(I will explain that with the 1st ability). now the +1 get a 1/1 with lifelink is VERY good but doesn't get pumped with honor of the pure. anyways this ability is almost the same as a flipped garruk but less potent (a deathtouch 1/1 is better then a lifelink one in terms of defending) this ability is probably the BEST ability on sorin hands down, there is no need to compare to his second or ulti with this, but people would probably use his second ability first for the agro tokens build.

Now lets look at sorin a bit deeper. when you get him out he makes a 1/1 lifelink (equivilant to casting a 1 costing creature). so far you have spent 4 mana to get a 1/1(if you keep doing his abbility he pays for himself turn 3 after he is cast because having a body on the field as a walker also pays for 1 turn). if you take a different approach and turn 2 after he is cast you use his second ability. he then pays for himself the next turn because you made him do a 2 mana spell (sure not as good as +1+1 but still worthy for agro decks). these scenarios are only based on if sorin is not messed with.

Now is he worth 54.99??? Nope, I would get rid of him asap for that price. Like all walkers now wizards is VERY careful not to make another JTMS, however stores believe that every walker has the potential in becoming the next 120$ JTMS which is why all walkers have been priced at 40-50$ on release. JTMS fit in EVERY deck in legacy and was played in standard, so of course his price will rise (his price is NOW 60$ because it is only really played in legacy and vintage), for any store to justify it's price for a 50$ walker would be weather of not the walker will be good in both legacy, standard, and modern. I do not see sorin being good in legacy or modern, do not compare him to elspeth because elspeth was able to +1 make a dude and +1 make a dude fly and +3+3. If you can't wait, then wait until it settles to 30-40 but I will be trading it away for legacy staples and picking my playset after the price settles.

Happy magicing

Old Speculations:
Jan 4, 2011
Hey all, Tagg here! Hope you guys enjoy this here. Anyways pretty easy speculation for the first "Price is right" guess. It will be the Scars of mirrodin dual lands! Are you a casual FNM player? Then Get rid of them while their hot guys! As seen those Seachrome coast, Razerverge Thicket, Darkslick shore, copperline goarge, and blackcleave cliffs are gonna be worthless as soon as we get the next block. As shown with the Zendikar manlands which were 10$ a pop, now in the 1-2$ Range it's good to get rid of them now and pick them up later!

As for what will go up in value. Pick up those Zendikar Manlands!!! they are Cheap! and all for just 20-25$!! These will go back up, creeping tarpits are the only one that has seen play in modern so far but the rest will soon follow!!! (hopefully), They could go up to 5-10$ each but I assume they will cost that much after 1-2 years! If modern keeps gaining popularity, then the these cards will soon be modern staples!!!

Posting to inform you guys on really cheap rares that will probably skyrocket.

Kemba Kha regent Foil. Price is 1-3$ Estimated value in 3 years 10-20$

Reasoning: Simplest way to show is to use Mayel the anima as an example because she is one that I recall was 5$ foil rare when she was in standard. Now a foil version runs up to 10-20$ EDH is probubly the sole reason why legendary foils are at this price range.

Yes Mayal is a Mythic and kemba is a rare, but keep in mind that a Foil common has the same print run as a Foil uncommon/rare/mythic in that same set. so their rarities are irrelevant.

Furthermore, Kemba has about the same "build around me" feeling as Mayal. If you have kemba as a edh, your deck will be filled with equipments, mayal edh will be filled with power 5 or greater cards. Both cost 3 to cast. ect ect. Of course, the only thing mayel does have over kemba is the access to digging and possibly obtaining card advantage, whereage kemba will gain you board presence.

anyways most Foil legendary things 3 years ago+ are around the 10+$ mark. even Nezumi Shortfang is around 6$ foil. and can't be used as an edh general.

Anyways I hope this little bit of information helps you guys out with investing.

(I am not responsible for any losses you might have, take this advice at your own risk)

you guys probably know this one, get rid of your RTR and GC lands asap. being that they are gonna be reprinted in Dragon's maze at a 50% (unconfirmed) chance in a pack (you have the 10 gates and 10 shocks replacing the land). these guys will tank to their original prices pre-modern announcement. get ride of them now and pick up your playsets after. (doesn't apply too much for the older printing i would keep those)

Another would be picking up supreme verdicts and detention spheres (5-3$). with the new set being announced as a "god" set, and the fact that innistrad block is what has been making the set fast paced, the standard format is slowing down. picking them up for trade is good. it also means picking up those high mana costing "bulk rares" that have strong abbilities in RTR block.

pick up parallel lives, it has a LOT of casual appeal and have been on the rise.

hop this information helps you guys
