Will it continue to go up as the hype on it being new continues? Or will it just drop like a rock?

They realize that Zendikar was a hugely popular set so they are going to try to sell the same quantity of Worldwake. I'm guessing a lot of people are going to try to bust WW hoping it's as profitable as Zendikar...

Is Jace in the same scope of Goyf or Slayer... nope. But he is a solid planeswalker. Look at Elspeth, she has held her value at 20-30 dollars for the past year. I would put Elspeth in the same category as Jace.

Will Jace maintain 50 dollars... HELL no. SCG or whatever site can hype him up. But in reality he will not maintain that value. Am I a hypocrit, did I purchase one for 40+, absolutely. Jace is a powerhouse that I needed a third.

I am a player and I want to be competitive with the field. White weenie is fine for FNM, but for the big events you need to pack some power and play control. What will be the best deck in the format shortly, Big Blue. It will rely on Jace controling the board for things you miss countering.

A small shop owner I know drafted a few rounds of Worldwake (so he got an idea of what are rares like). Then he proceed to open 2 boxes of Worldwake. By the 2nd box, he told me he felt like crying and did not open a 3rd box. Now he is praying fervently that he can sell and draft enough Worldwake packs to cover the costs of buying them

The same owner opened like 30 boxes of Zendikar and drafted many more?

Like I said, this is a small shop that depends on other boardgames and collectible cards so his sale is not as much as most MTG shops. But 2 boxes of WW against 30 boxes of Zendikar gives you an idea of how much WW packs will be opened, relative to Zendikar.

talked to a local shop owner today and he brought up a pretty good point. due to jaces "mythic" status (much like elspeths) he probably won't dip below 30. even if its ran in 1-2 decks. however, if wizards were to stop trying to steal our paychecks and just make cards the way they used to (C, UC, R) you'd see jace at the usual 20$ slot. my advice to those that have pulled the new jace:

smoke em if you got em! (ok, sell them if you got em. it might be hard to smoke a card... )

lol I think he told u that so he can sell them to you for $30+. elspeth is the only other example of a planeswalker being $30 or more- the rest are all also mythic rare but $10 or less.

Yes, but jace is good, and at the very least on Elspeth's level of awesomeness.

Hmm do you mind explaining why Elspeth is a $30 card? Even though she is good, she feels more like a $15-20 card, especially since there isn't a tier 1 deck she's a staple in (occasionally fits in white weenie and some control decks).
