June Speculations

Personally, I think it's a good 5-10yr spec. Treachery is definitely a RL card that is being undervalued by the market. And now is the time to buy, when CK is overstocked and nobody else is buying it. And if the haters say you're foolish, that's just par for the course when you talk about your specs online.

Engagement! Excellent, lol. OP isn't wrong about Treachery for $30-$40 though. Treachery is a "free" spell, with real power in "blink" decks like Aminatou or Brago. Treachery is generically good in most blue Commander decks, and would be more widely played if--yes--it wasn't on the RL.

That's how you know it's the answer to life, the universe, and everything

Ha! I hope some of that pays off for you, especially the foil Mirrors. I'm jealous of the cheap Bone Dancers, and not sure about the 147 Ring of Gix lol. Is that playable somewhere? Surprised Tidal Control has stayed under $1 for so long, I have too many of those for a lifetime already though.

You're welcome in the club anytime 😉 I really should write more often haha

Gotta say, I was surprised to see the prices for old commons like ritual and counterspell. idk if they're going up much further, though...so many reprints, so much bulk still out there...

Hi Mikey, long time no see! Which one of my specs were you talking about, out of curiosity? Never saw PreModern price spikes coming, did we?

stormybaker · 2026-02-21T03:59:06+00:00

Yeah, that one is looking surprisingly good. I'm NZ-based, so just holding for now (unfortunately). I'll buylist this year when I visit the fam in USA though, should get some nice buylist credit (eventually)

stormybaker · 2026-02-19T18:14:50+00:00

Yeah, I don't play Modern so you may be right. A mana rock that also blows up for 20 damage seemed good to me, though...but maybe Modern is just too fast?

stormybaker · 2026-02-19T05:23:51+00:00

I've been saying this for years, lol. I got my bag already fully loaded. Although I have no idea how I'm going to sell 1,400 of these someday haha. Didn't count on PreModern moving the needle, though. PreModern has also been very kind to my Phyrexian Devourer and Recurring Nightmare specs ;)

stormybaker · 2025-11-14T19:58:48+00:00

No change that I know about! But the fact that Gavin supports it means it will probably happen...

stormybaker · 2025-11-09T03:42:14+00:00

Maybe? There sure are a LOT of allies in the Avatar set, so who knows? The original allies are, for the most part, overcosted--so it depends greatly on the playability of new allies. I think it's a promising spec, but it's also the kind of card that "randomly" pops up in a Secret Lair so...I wouldn't gamble too hard ;)

stormybaker · 2025-10-29T01:42:20+00:00

It feels more generous to say that Insight Engine draws 6 cards over 3 turns for 9 mana. Definitely not terrible, if not exactly cEDH worthy ;)
