| Jan 18, 2016 at 19:34 | comment | added | deworde | Really? Because the highs always seem to be tournament staples, especially the manabase. | |
| Jan 18, 2016 at 18:53 | comment | added | Neil Meyer | Casual appeal is actually a much higher driving force in mtg card prices than tournament viability. There is no reason to think Alpha cards are immune to this phenomena. | |
| Jan 18, 2016 at 18:32 | comment | added | deworde | All the others say "This is a necessary card to compete at the highest level of Vintage". Shivan Dragon says "He was my favourite when I was 12." | |
| Jan 18, 2016 at 18:29 | comment | added | Neil Meyer | I guess in the case of the dragon it is for people who remember an era of mtg where a dragon was worth more than duals. | |
| Jan 18, 2016 at 17:49 | comment | added | deworde | True, but even so, "one of these things is not like the others", power level Wise. | |
| Jan 18, 2016 at 16:46 | comment | added | Neil Meyer | Just note that these are near mint prices. A near mint Alpha card would be exceptionally rare as no one really took care of there magic cards in 1994. | |
