It’s day four of my Financial Value of Gatecrash! There weren’t a lot of updates from yesterday to today, but a couple of good casual cards were spoiled. We also have our second uncommon of note in the set! Let’s take a look at the updates from Thursday to today!

Thoughts:
I don’t have a lot to say about , other than to point out the trajectory of . I believe they are comparable cards, with being rare to mythic. Given this ability is likely more useful on turn four rather than on turn six, I believe this counteracts the “can’t really protect itself from damage” advantage has over . All in all, should be a solid $3-$4 rare for casual players for years to come.

Thoughts:
A little harder to cast than (though a mana cheaper). We presold at $2-$3 when was first released but quickly dropped it to $1.50 right after release. I view this as comparable to , and it should settle in the $1-$1.50 range.

Thoughts:
I feel very strongly that will be part of a playable combo deck in either Standard or Modern…or even both. The first ability can stack multiple triggers, so it is a two-card kill that is easy to pull off when combined with . In Modern, you have to combo with —and at two mana, you even have cards like to act as a fantastic tutor to bring up whichever piece of the combo you’re missing. I would not be surprised to see the foil versions of this card take off in price because I think this is a combo deck worth pursuing due to the ease of pulling off the combo.

This was the only card with movement from yesterday. A lot of people are attracted to the uniqueness of this effect, and it is a (powered-down) throwback to . I think in the end this will be in the $1.50-$2 range still (post-release), but it might spike some if people are trying it out RIGHT at release.
