Funny how people complain about legacy being too expensive

I'll agree Modern is getting pricey but look at Legacy Staples ... FoW ABUR Dual lands {Karakas} {Wasteland} {Rishaden Port} {Lions Eye Diamond} {Show and Tell} and these are only some of the cards and only ones not Modern legal ...

Mana base is always expensive. Look at all the fetches. I really think the shocks will be going up again soon.

Possible reprint in Shadow of Innistrad. Wouldn't be looking to invest in these.

Stay away from 2 color blue and it's very hard to go past $1000.
Karakas is a 2 of most in very few decks
Wastelands/port combo is only in dnt, and that's the most expensive part
Wastelands generally see play in delver, which is pretty budget other than force
Led is a 4 of in otherwise budget decks
Show is a 4 of in an otherwise budget deck

It only gets expensive when you need 3 seas, 2 trops, 2 volcanic and 4 force. :/

Lol dnt still needs vials and jites
Waste port is also in Lands but wasteland is very popular in delver strats that aren't budget bc their mana bases are 12 fetches and 6-7 duals
Storm is somewhat budget but LED + their manabase of 5 duals and fetches are high.
Snow and tell decks run {Sneak Attack} and 4 Emrakul 4 Gris + 4 {Volcanic Islands}

I mean yeah mana base is expensive, but really tho: legacy cards also retain value better. Highly doubt they will reprint {shardless agent} again, its been crawling up to $20 over the year

And legacy mana base is dropping from its height

Decrease in tournament support and "the end of legacy" might be a good thing if you want to buy in, then..

Scg support only really

Seems like in the past 6 months I've seen more legacy pop up in Los Angeles

Looks like a  {Scalding Tarn} buy out happened sold out at several of the main stores.

Nixitalian

{Phyrexian crusader} has crept up. Especially the foil.

Nixitalian

The lack of kneecaps makes it more appealing

Yup, it's Modern season, alright.
