One version of the card costs $14… while perfectly playable versions cost under a dollar.So what does that mean for the future of Magic finance?In this episode we discuss:• Why Pre-Modern highlights a healthier model for card prices• The concept of Veblen goods in Magic collectibles• Why reprints don’t always crash card prices• Commander’s surprising impact on Reserve List cards• Whether Wizards could ever realistically remove the Reserve List• And how Eternal formats could change if they didAlong the way we talk about Time Twister, Mox Diamond, Tarmogoyf, Rhystic Study, and the strange economics that shape Magic’s secondary market.If you care about Legacy, Vintage, Pre-Modern, or the future of Eternal formats, this is a conversation worth having.JOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hrC7PxQZTEProudly supported by Three For One Trading: shop.threeforonetrading.comCardmillhttps://cardmill.com/EternalDurdlesMOXFIELDEternal Durdles Moxfield: https://www.moxfield.com/users/EternalDurdleshttps://www.moxfield.com/users/Durdlemagushttps://www.moxfield.com/users/ForceofPhil
