Lorwyn Blight and Dance of the Elements: How Did Our Price Predictions Perform? Back in early January we took a swing at predicting which cards would climb alongside the release of the new Lorwyn precons. With Curse Blight and Dance of the Elements shaking up demand and counter s...

I think we're getting a bit better at this as we hone the models. Defo a marked improvement Vs the Spidey results but the popularity of lorwyn skews it a bit so very much to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Amazing. I've popped together a pods worth of Spidey decks. For Green Gob it was almost exactly your list, but I let it have an 'out of Universe' land base (although all basics had to be 'in universe' basics). And I didn't play black cat because she felt thematically off joining up with Norman?

Can the banning announcement be the hybrid mana thing?

Kai Budde's world championship deck and following his PT coverage as a kid got me into magic properly. I remember wondering how anyone could be quite this good at the game and some part of that hooked me on magic. A massive loss for the magic community.

Lorwyn Eclipsed Dance of the Elements: 10 Cards to Buy and 8.5 to Sell Ahead of the Precon Release The Lorwyn precon lists just dropped so there are some reprints coming that you might want to clear out your copies of (a reprinting almost always drops the price of the existing copies).

Does the quillspike-devoted druid loop happen already somewhere? With Auntie Ool you get to draw your deck with it right?

Is that county champs foil now the most expensive token of all time?

I'm excited for your myriad of mutavaults, but it's blowing my mind that that once OP standard staple is now just a token

This then I guess: just to make sure Aboshan has lots of cephalid friends

Whhhhaaaaaatttt? Why?!

I was playing pre-2015 so there's weirdly more discovery space for me post 2015, but I had no idea this card existed until I started brewing a Kratos, God of War deck (with Silent Arbiter etc.). Felt thematically perfect though:

Morcant's Blight Top 10: AI Predictions for -1/-1 Staples to Spike with Lorwyn Lorwyn's only a month away and the spoiler season is kicking off! A few days ago we got to see High Perfect Morcant, who offers Golgari elves a -1/-1 AND proliferate engine. Check its price on TCGPlay...

I ran our home-built 'Future Sight AI' on the new Lorwyn spoiler High Perfect Morcant to see what it thinks could be the next Fluorishing Defenses card spikes. Here's what it thinks will spike if Morcant gets popular: www.tap-for-value.com/post/morcant...

Seen a lot about how airbending is 'expensive/sorcery blink', but it also lets you *cast* them which gives lots of bonus triggers. Our list of commander cards that will be impacted by Airbending feels like it has a few different bits. Is it wrong? www.tap-for-value.com/post/bending...
