It’s important to consider how this will affect your collection and what you should do to prepare. What we can see from this is there really is no upside to holding anything that becomes a Grand Prix promo unless you really like the art.Īnd now to my point, with the announcement of next year’s Grand Prix schedule, we’ll also probably get an announcement with the year’s Grand Prix promo card. It is another small spring set mythic (printed an entire year after Batterskull) that was quickly climbing out of control. After reaching peaks of $40, Griselbrand has been on the steady decline to a more managable $20. What did Griselbrand do? Pretty much the same thing as Batterskull. It’s been almost a year since Batterskull was the GP Promo and it’s price hasn’t wavered since it’s low. Now, the price could also be influenced by Stoneforge Mystic decks falling out of favor in Legacy and Kolaghan’s Command popularity in Modern, but that is likely more of a factor for it not increasing. The sheer number of competitors at Grands Prix have been able to saturate the market with just enough Batterskulls to cut the price to something bearable. This clearly demonstrates that the saturation level has been met. The promo price is almost exactly in lockstep with the regular non-foil. Although some of the price points on this are a little messed up, you can still compare it to today’s promo price. Batterskull was announced as the promo for entirety of 2014.ĭespite being announced as a promo and falling significantly, eternal play brought this card up to $30 before a price dent was really made. Both of those promos I’d consider bargain bin despite their phenomenal art as they were once again paired in Modern Masters 2015.Įvidently someone at Wizards noticed the boom of players was having a really big impact on the price of mythics from the previous years. Another year of this weird split schedule had Primeval Titan splitting a year with All is Dust. This is typical of under printed promos that are in high demand (similar to pack foil Tasigur vs pre-release Promo Tasigur). Goblin Guide promos sit at almost even footing to the pack foil. Clearly the limited amount of these promos caused them to not positively affect the price of the cards. Two promos would be released that year and got an approximate even number of GPs. The year of 2012 was a deviation from the old promo schedule.

I had taken a break but I can only assume a new art Maelstrom Pulse was well received by players. The next card is one I’m not terribly familiar with at the time it was released. Chrome Mox and Umezawa’s Jitte are definitely powerful cards but Wizards missed the mark again. The next two kicked it up a notch and currently sit on the Modern ban list. Call of the Herd and Spiritmonger are two great green cards from “back in the day” but have aged poorly in today’s standards. The first two promo cards were nostalgic at best.

This is a great time to start planning for next year’s fun but it also entails another announcement.įor the last eight years, Wizards of the Coast has been giving out a free promo card to everyone who enters the main event of a Grand Prix.

According to Helen Bergeot (Director of Global Organized Play for Magic), the 2016 Grand Prix schedule is going to be announced at Pro Tour Magic Origins ( Source). While this Pro Tour is going to be pretty great because Wizards of the Coast finally decided to purchase a globe (A summer Pro Tour in Canada makes a lot more sense seasonally), but it also is going to lead us into a huge announcement for the following year. So I’m sitting here drinking a coffee channeling my inner Jace, wondering about a lot of things.
