Isperia is a pretty good card against certain decks. Why don't people use it?
Because it's a pretty bad card against every competitive deck. It is a bad {consecrated sphinx}. Cards like those two are inharently defensive and Isperia's 4 toughness is counter productive. She woul be a $8 card if her stats were 4/6 instead of 6/4. 4 is the magic number right now for survivability. If a creature has 4 or less toughness it will likely die, 5 or more and it will likely survive.

People do not use isperia because of a couple reasons. Thefirst reason is that playing her has no immediate impact on the board. When you play her, you just spent 6 mana on a creature that will probably just get removed. Also, your opponent controls whether or not to attack. When you give an opponent the choice, he or she will ALWAYS make the choice that is least helpful to you.

These reasons mean that you will probably never even reap the benefits of isperia if you cast her. Your opponent will probably either wait to draw removal, or attack you if you have very low life.

Um Karn? wow he just keeps increasing!
{Karn Liberated}
D:  What??  Why is he jumping so high?  I traded both of mine at like $18!

He's went from around 20 to 34 now..crazy. I used him in EDH and we always was helpful...I did sell one for like 12 though:/

Well I dropped my eBay selling foil  {Aurelia's Fury}. I was told from a local store they'd give me $30 store credit Monday. When I went today they said $20. I said might as well before it drops more. Looks like they didn't update their prices on cards in store. They had  {Karn Liberated} for $21. So I asked the guy to straight trade for it and he did. I feel I got the better deal.

What's got {Sarkhan Vol} up a bit?  Price history doesn't show him being super low, but he's a bit high right now.

Same here! I thought he had maxed out at $11. I'm so bad at the price guessing game, should have bought 100 of them at $6.

It is one of the best three drop in standard besides geist, it either eats removal or it is a 2 for 1
