Yeah good question, this is definitely one of the highest of all time. Demonic Tutor sold for $168k which I think was the previous record until Force of Will sold for $350k a short while ago.
That one is so far and above anything else that I can’t imagine anything other than maybe Black Lotus or some combo of iconic art + special interest from the buyer will ever crack that but who knows.
Psychic Frog, Kozilek’s Command, and Springheart Nantuko… womp womp.
Wow a new Locus, never thought we’d see another one. Interesting effect.
This seems kinda nuts, every eldrazi spawn you have is now a Serra Angel?
Wow this is a pretty big addition to modern, seems great in Yawgmoth
Is this the first time they’ve ever printed “this ability only triggers twice each turn?”
Seems pretty versatile for eldrazi/tron decks. Even if X is 0 you can draw a card and exile a creature token for cmc 2 which seems decent.
Otherwise this is instant speed reanimator/grave hate, ramp, card filtering, and/or creature removal and in tron it feels negligible to get X pretty high if need be. If it hit creatures and planeswalkers I think it’d be nuts.
Yeah significant upgrade, 1 mana less and it hits planeswalkers. I guess that’s the difference between modern and standard.
Dang that face is nightmare inducing
Amazing artwork on the land
Wow love this reprint! One of my favorite cards from Saga block.
Didn’t really think free spells are something we needed more of in Modern and Legacy but at these feel somewhat underwhelming, and require creatures at least.
The blue one is obviously good for Merfolk but also would work into the cascade decks running Shardless Agent.
Wow this is so cool, really fun and powerful effect here. Art is absolutely amazing and perfect for the old frame too.
Wish they got new art that fit the frame better but I’ll never complain for high powered retro reprints 🙌
Holy crap Jet Medallion’s art is super creepy, been a while since I’ve seen some classic gross MTG art!
Wow this seems like a nice Urza’s Saga toolbox card and pretty decent cheap/sideboard hate against the pitch elementals, Force of Negation/Will, omniscience, etc. Incidental Plot and Mishra’s Bauble hate too 😜
This is a cool card, like the interesting use of exert on a land. You could give two creatures haste with this as well if you spend one of the reds on each which is kind of neat.
And draws 2 cards, or 4 if you give your opponent a pair of 2/2s as well.
Ah! Good call 👍
Not a bad Gaea’s Cradle in certain archetypes, I just don’t know if this is better than Nykthos ever though. I guess in multicolor tribal decks like humans.
