Price Jumps and Drops

[Rass]

I'm debating giving up on building my Bogles deck and just trading it into EDH cards, because all these price hikes are BS.

Need more of this to crash the market.

Unfortunately it's gonna happen too... despite JUST printing Mm2, demand is just as high if not higher. No amount of relief from wizards will lower prices.

Partially because supply is being artificially limited.

This. ^^
This sort of inflation spiral nearly killed MTG before, and it will sure ward off new competitive players. I for sure am not gonna spend hundreds of dollars on a deck for a tournament.
Well, ok, maybe if I had it, I would.

There is still a lot of mm2 out there. You can eBay boxes for $200 it's just people see it's usually more cost effective to buy what you want instead of hitting the pack lotto.

People are just scooping up staples and not reselling

No one wants to lose value by selling for TCG low or buylist prices

Tarm is still strong and most staples are increasing and more are getting into modern

Mm2 worked well for eternal formats

I think people are hesitant to open mm2 because of how terrible the value works out in a large percentage of boxes.

{Heritage Druid} on the hype train since Elves won Charlotte yesterday.

Play legacy and then you can gripe about prices

Oh modern.

Too many trying to flip for profit and I think wiz wanted people to NOT do this, it was meant to be opened. People are getting their Goyfs, but prices are retaining

Shardless bug pieces have been increasing in price lately

This made me lol because the first thing I thought of was 1 of my {underground seas}... XD

What I meant to say it's that the prices are one of the reasons keeping me from competitive constructed. I guess I'm not the only one.

Study the meta for the last few years and pick a deck that way

It's how I built shardless bug, had many of the pieces and it seemed to hold up strong still appearing in top8 list at major events

Just because its not rated #1 by cfb pros, does not mean the deck won't surprise people playing the common meta

There's truth in that. I'd have to go with some heavy monocolor aggro though. I have 1 fetch (Rakdos though, so that helps) and only a few other proper non basics.

Depends on the format really. Modern has some budget decks, legacy has some as well. You can get manaless dredge for less than most standard decks.

Glass cannons Not going off turn one or two make it really sad when you sit there and lose. my opponent to Experienced this yesterday playing char Belcher.

Thoughtseize to ramp spells and {chill} t3 ended him hard

Surgical extraction is also a great way to ruin a combo deck t1, may cost 5 life but you wreck em
