Jeskai Lukka: Lukka is probably not banned but Agent of Treachery is likely to be banned. Lukka will go down to Vivien, Monsters' Advocate' price range ( 4 - 6 tix). I will collect some at this price range, as we may see another target for Lukka in the next Core Set. Companions: Most of them are already quite low (all less than 1 tix, some are at bulk card price). I think it's a time to buy. There will be a resolution for them, probably a new format. If people like Companions, it'll not be surprising to see new Companions coming in special sets. Then the price of these cards will go back or even higher when the supply fades. Other Standard cards: I will collect some copies of these Standard cards: Vivien, Monsters' Advocate, Luminous Broodmoth, Chevill, Bane of Monsters, Vadrok, Apex of Thunder, Shark Typhoon, Drannith Magistrate, The Ozolith. Other Modern/Pioneer Card: Every cards affected by Conpanions will restore their value. So, go and crab some for

Have you heard about Vanguard? Players started to play MTG in the late 90s may remember the over-sized promo cards in store shelves. Each big card contains a set of rules. You start with 30 life; You can draw 2 cards; your creatures get +1/+1...... Vanguard was marketed as a new format? I never got the chance to know or play games with them, so I don't know. Companions are the new Vanguard, I guess. Companions will not be seen in official events unless you put them into decks. We are getting a sub format in which all decks must include a companion. This is an alternative to banning. Banning will infuriate too many players, store owners, collectors. Will companions plummet? In short term, they will. I'm still thinking what to do with these cards, so it would be better for me to write about it in my next entry. Hope I can write something before 1st June. Anyway, I am trying to play MTG in real life. Good luck to me!
