The key is that the set has a TON of first time reprints. Magus of the moon, Glimpse the unthinkable, Bloodghast, etc etc. Even though these are masters set the perceived 'value' sells a ton of packs... enough its comparable to a full release of 5 or 8 years ago. That said the staples like Bloodghast and Canopy will certainly rebound in the longer term to 50-100% higher than their lows in 2-3 months. Its just a time thing.
If Horizon canopy hits low 20s I am gonna be that guy that buys 20 or 30 and holds them for a few years. Its a modern AND legacy staple. Plus itll never get reprinted in standard IMO.
I don't think it's going to hit 20 dollars, but 25 is probably about where I'd expect it to land in the long run. The Big three for modern decks are shocks, fetches, and fast lands.
It's only behind Colonnade (40 dollars) and Cavern (50) are the only two non fetch/shock/fastlands ahead of Canopy. Colonnade is another good one to buy for long term and has been going up and up lately also.

I played a Mardu control deck that played 4 Boom/Bust and 4 Smallpox with Flagstones a year ago that was pretty great. The expertise cards would have been perfect to act as armageddon with Boom/bust before they nerfed that I think its still playable in a slow meta.. just expect to have hard matchups against combo decks.
I have a SPICY brew I am building boys. Very different from anything here.. it may end up sucking but I like its game(potentially) vs the combo decks of the format. Once I am complete and run it through its paces I may throw a decklist out there.
I'm just glad I live in Canada where people are sane and pretty much unanimously hate Trump. Even the right wing conservatives here support gay marriage, abortion, access to birth control, etc. We have ascended past such silly topics so I don't expect many of these 'edgy' types in my lgs luckily!
Do we even have evidence he plays the game? Tournament results? He just uses MTG as a soapbox to complain like Desolatormagic about the 'left wing' influences in the game
If guys like Jeremy weren't weirdo creeps because of their lack of ability/success with women we likely wouldn't hear him complaining about them.
You don't see many alt right *****lords with girlfriends lets just say. Guys like me that are happily getting laid 10+ times a week don't worry about who's cosplaying or who is a 'sjw'.
