Actually, that's exactly what it means!Quote from jackad7 »Quote from jace19 »why the heck is Push not dropping yet? there will be PLENTY to go around as long as the set is in print, it's an uncommon, in the neighborhood of $5 all they people willing to pay that should already have their copies, it should be freefalling by now, how long can it possibly take before the market is flooded with them?
Just because it is an uncommon doesn't mean there are a lot of them.
The set just hasn't been opened enough yet to meet demand. Wait a month.

I don't know what the writers will go with, most of the time my headcanons and fanfiction end up being more interesting than the actual story (goes for a lot of us) but it was a thought I had when I first learned about planeswalkers back in 2010. Omenpaths are a thing now, but most people are still limited in the planes they can go to, right? Rakdos can't just go to any plane he wants. Maybe there is some resource, a metal, an element that is rare or non-existent on Ravnica, but Ashiok as a Planeswalker has access to a world where it is plentiful. A lot of people would be very interested in dark steel, or cosmium, or aether, or Halo, you know? and those are just examples to come up since the creation of the Gatewatch.
But you're definitely right about it not being gold or something traditional like that.

there's one ijmportant difference though, Menace instead of haste. this isn't going to reshape any formats, but it won't be hard to get a card or two off of it. Some EDH decks might want it, but if Standard has a RDW, that is where this will definitely have a home

I wouldn't call it constant. I would call it showing up on like 2 cards a set on average, and just coming off of a few sets of nonstop horror

What waiting? The most recent spoilers ended like 3 days ago and apparently we have a lot more in the next 10 days, probably this week. There's no waiting, there's very rarely even a pause anymore. We get stuff about the next product before players are even able to buy the previous one

Exactly. You will see Maro lean heavily on 'desired', 'high demand', 'powerful' and such, those words do a lot of heavy lifting for him, but he and the others will never say 'expensive', they will never recognize publicly that those cards cost a different number of dollars at the LGS, because the moment they do, it becomes gambling under US law. It is gambling, we all know it's gambling, but their lawyers will deny it. It's the same basic reason they got rid of ante.

They are not allowed to acknowledge the secondary market in any way, be at that point, they could not sell packs to minors

over an hour into that game, just to make friends
