Finance of KTK: Part2

Khans is not another Theros. Its draft structure is like that of RTR. After the third set Dragons releases, the mainstream draft events will be switched to Dragons, Dragons, Fate. I see a chance to buy KTK cards form now (full set is around 87), during Fate Reforged prerelease events and until the time Standard becomes active again.

I have picked the following cards:

1. Dig Through Time

After the banning, it has dropped to under 2 tix. I think blue based control will keep rising and eventually dominate the Standard metagame in the next few months. Having learnt enough lessons form previous trades, I will start buying regularly but gradually. Maybe it can rest at around 0.5 - 1 tix during prerelease.

2. Flooded Strand and Polluted Delta

When blue based controls rise back to popular decks, these lands are essential to them. But there is a risk that Zendikar fetchlands are reprinted in Dragons.

3. Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker and Ashcloud Phoenix

Decks today are filled with overabundant removals. I think creatures that can resist a number of removals should be what we use in future decks. Besides, they are both mythics, which are relatively less likely to be reprinted as promotional cards.

GWx Starfield of Nyx Deck

People say Magic Origins is a down-graded set. To me, It feels more like Ice Age then Khans in the variety of card functions and types. Of course, Ice Age was a fun deck, weakness never harms the entertaining level of cards. Starfield of Nyx  is an interesting one. It goes perfectly into enchantment decks evolved during late Theros Standard. Win conditions: 1. Bring Chromanticore into play from grave. 2. Attack with animated enchatments for winning. 3. Bring Whip of Erebos into play and reanimate Hornet Queen. 4. Bring Sigil of the Empty Throne into play 5. Assault Formation + high toughness creatures Removals: End Hostility Banishing Light     Doomwake Giant Defense: Nyx-Fleece Ram Courser of Kruphix Card Advantages: Ephara, God of the Polis Commune with the Gods Satyr Wayfinder Eidolon of Blossoms Gather the Pack Combos: Starfield of Nyx  + everything /  Font of Vigor Ephara, God...

What is Magic Origins about?

If I am right, Magic Origins is a collection of "redesigned" old cards in MTG history. Evidence so far supports the prediction. We have: Dark Petition reminiscing Demonic Tutor, Day's Undoing replacing Timetwister, Honored Hierarch taking after Noble Hierarch. I believe more cards from Power Nine and old sets will appear in Standard but with lowered power level. Let's make some wild guess before the spoiler's out: 1. All ten Shock lands return ( Dual lands ) update: painlands, not shocklands 2. There are remakes for Armageddon, Nevinyrral's Disk and Wrath of God update: they remade Cataclysm. 3. Moxes will appear with 1 mana cost and "enter the battlefield tapped" 4. Something close to Force of Will is in the set
