![]() ![]() If you need a copy now, keep an eye out for the Mystery Boosterfoil printing, which can be found for somewhere between $25 and $30, even as the non-foil Champions of Kamigawa printing is currently $50+.įinally, we just got the full spoiler for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Commander precons, which are likely to have a big impact on prices as players assemble decks around the new legends and upgrade their precons. Shizo, Death's Storehouse will likely follow the same pattern. It seems likely that Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep will stabilize somewhere around $30 a far cry from $65, but still way more than its $10 price tag from a couple of weeks ago. As copies are relisted, vendors are incentivized to undercut their competitors' prices to sell their copies, which causes prices to fall. This is normal when a card is bought out. On the other hand, last week's hot Ragavan land - Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep - is trending back down, losing 16% this week to fall back under $40 after briefly peaking at $65. Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer has been one of the biggest influences of late, with Shizo, Death's Storehouse jumping 72% to $55 this week as a way to make sure the Monkey can keep attacking even through a board full of blockers. Meanwhile Modern is still adjusting to the presence of Modern Horizons 2 cards. Once the set officially releases in a week or two and people start cracking boxes, prices are going to drop and drop a lot. As such, rather than splurging on $42 copies of Tiamat or $20 Circle of Dreams Druid during presales, a bit of patience will save you a lot of money. For unlimited supply Standard sets, the expected value always drops down near or below the cost of a box (for example, the current EV of Strixhaven is $96 for a draft booster and $89 for a set booster), which means cards from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms need to lose roughly half of their value (on average) over the next month or so. The expected value calculation is up on the prices page (minus collector boosters which will be coming soon once we add in the Commander Precon cards that were just previewed) and the biggest takeaway is that the set is currently massively overpriced with the expected value of a draft booster box coming in at $208 and a set booster box at $305. ![]() To really pilot this deck to victory and navigate past its weaknesses, it’s important to know some of the best cards it has access to.This week our biggest finance new is the impending release of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. It needs more firepower, and relies heavily on finding one of its better creatures like Ashen Rider or Meteor Golem, and on stealing or cloning opposing creatures with cards like Nihiloor, Phantasmal Image, and Hostage Taker. Dungeon of Death can accrue endless value, but sometimes that isn’t enough to close out a game. The other glaring weakness of this deck is a noticeable lack of powerful reanimation targets. It eliminates infinite combo potential with Karmic Guide, Sun Titan, and other recursive creatures, and also makes it tougher to reliably venture four times per turn cycle. Dungeon of Death contains zero free repeatable sacrifice outlets, and that ends up being its biggest weakness. This deck had potential to be the strongest of the four Adventures in the Forgotten Realms precon decks, but it was intentionally held back in a major way. There are times it will block, die, and come back right away to draw another card with Sefris. With cards to control the board like Plaguecrafter and Hostage Taker, Dungeon of Death can work to keep the board from becoming too threatening, and it also has amazing blockers like Baleful Strix, which is nearly impossible to attack into. The other thing this deck accels at is playing defense.With Sefris out, every chump block triggers a venture, and opponents definitely don’t want that to happen. It will essentially never be bad in this deck.
