http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Decks-Elspeth-Tezzeret/dp/B003RWSK4G Limited print release and already $35-$40 if i want to buy online. Around Christmas, the price will be around the $75-$80 mark. I just went to Target and Walmart with my roommates since they usually stock on Sundays and we bought like 30 of these boxes at $20 MRSP. Profit?

Was it the "Find a Game to Join" on the side? I never said it was real. I just said it's a good stock to invest in. But next time if my kitty goes missing, I'll look you up

Those decks suck ass. Literally. They'll drop back down because: A. They suck (unless you put them in a combo deck, which will cost hundreds of dollars) B. Pros don't play the cards in the deck, or they only play like 1 or 2 of the cards. Pro play=major affect on prices C. Tezzeret is cycled out of Pro play, and Elspeth is going to be useless since black/white tokens is being cycled out in ~1 month

A. Combo is arguably the best archtype if you goldfish but in the real metagame, combo hate is everywhere common. And a good combo deck isn't even hundreds. It can go up to thousands. B. I'm a pro player lol and the decks have cards plays bro all the time. Mishra's Factory is used in 43 lands, landstill, pox, etc. Swords to Plowshare is used in zoo, rock, bant, landstill, almost all decks. Tezzeret is used in Tezzerator and Elspeth is used in Team America, White Weenie, Super friends, boros. Almost ANY deck that can support 2WW will play Elspeth. C. They both cycle out of standard in 2 weeks but that's only standard. Pro play consists of standard, extended, legacy, and vintage and the cards the deck comes with have value in both of the eternal formats (Legacy and Vintage)
