Investing In the Long Run: Standard

[Mikefrompluto]

Why is {dark confidant} so high? Is disrupting people's draw realy that big of a problem? Is extra drawing realy that broken?

It cashes in a resource (life) for card advantage

I understand what the point of it is, but over $70? I disagree.

It's a huge modern staple. Plain and simple. You run {B} in Modern, you should probably be running this guy.  Staples always get really high.

Being {B} is probably the biggest reason. There's such a lack of good draw in {B} compared to {U}, the most popular color in eternal formats. I mean {necropotence} is banned for a reason.

Yes!  The finances of mtg are part of the fun for me lol.

And Mike, don't you worry!  We'll get that {Necropotence} reprint soon enough!  ....right guys?  Please?

That would be amazing. It's crazy how it's still a $6 card and you can only play it in casual decks.

Edit: Never mind. Just saw that it's legal in EDH. Which is ridiculous.

You make an EXCELLENT point here. I did not think about it that way. +1 for finally making me understand why that card is a {B} staple.

More like $75, actually!

It's interesting to me to see how {Dark Confidant} is worth the same from both editions. I personally believe the original art is much, much better! I wonder why that is.
