Specs for RTR and Gatecrash/Modern Season
Path to Exile – Best removal spell in a ptq format. Is 5.00 despite not seeing a ton of play anywhere, 8.00-10 during modern season seems very possible assuming the shocklands being reprinted opens up the format to the masses. Clifftop Retreat, Isolated Chapel, Hinterland Harbor – Their guilds are coming I could give you more detailed reasons, but honestly that’s what it comes down to. General buys:
Thragtusk - can be traded for at 10 despite a tcg mid value of over 13 due to event deck fear. Thalia Guardian of Thraben – It’s only a matter of time. Staff of Nin – I understand the market is flooded with them, but it’s an easy card to get at a quarter that could be several dollars if it finds a home, the risk is absurdly low and the card is great in cube/ commander. Temporal Mastery – Hit 20 on mtgo today. In Reid Duke I trust. Pick them up around 8. Stay aways:
M13 mythics – The release prices need to be justified somewhere and most have already come down due to a lack of results, especially the chase cards of the set: Ajani, Hellkite, Liliana. It is possible I’m underestimating Sublime’s casual appeal, but without a home in standard it’s hard to see the price staying over 20$ for more than a month or so.

Recommended Specs:
Return to Ravnica Champion of the Parrish – When there is no gut shot or vapor snag what in the world stops this guy? He’s gigantic, attacks for 2 or 3!! on turn two with a reasonable draw. There is a chance this should be under the Gatecrash heading due to the Boros guild being there, but I think the jump might come a few months earlier than that. Sulfur Falls – It’s blue. It’s guild is in RTR and is one of the most popular color combos in the casual world. It can alternatively cast Snapcaster Mage and burn spells, not to mention Bonfire of the Damned. Woodland Cemetery – This is the dirt cheap one, whose guild will be in RTR, demand will go up even if all the cards are terrible. Geralf’s messenger/ Gravecrawler – The golgari guild leader is a zombie elf. Presuming that Overgrown Tomb is reprinted a B/G zombie deck seems very reasonable and will have 12 ways to produce green for any kind of useful gold card that happens to be printed. Cavern of souls – These can be had at 20 in trade fairly easily using tcg player as a reference. Between the potential of both humans, and zombies as well as whatever other goodness the RTR promise land delivers us; this could be the most expensive rare we’ve ever seen in standard during the mythic era once RTR hits. Gatecrash Lingering Souls – Did you know this won a Legacy GP? It’s also easy to find for under $2.00. When Orzhov gets released in gatecrash this could hit 5.00 pretty easily; not onlly is this card very powerful, but it also comes from the ‘short print’ set of the block. Inquisition of Kozilek – Go look up the price of thoughtseize, doesn’t really matter where, no one is ever happy paying that much for duress on steroids.You can inquisition for 2.00 in trade still, and its better than thoughtseize in aggressive metas.Path to Exile – Best removal spell in a ptq format.
