Judge Promo Speculation

Economics forum

Is it a safe bet to purchase a judge promo Intuition? I want one for an edh reanimating deck and I don't want it to noticeable decline in value. Are there perhaps better judge promos to get?

I've always wanted the Elesh Norn promo. Fairly certain without looking that its held value well, too. Not to mention being awesome.

Yes, the phyrexian lettered Elesh Norn is quite impressive, though its value is held up solely by the special lettering and perhaps its rarity. I could trade in a bunch of cards for it but it's moderately playable. Does anyone have a rough idea about how many were printed?

All judge promos will retain their price, barring a reprint of the card in a Masters set at non-mythic rarity. If it is a mythic:

Force of will price history

Force Promo has declined a whooping 5% since EMA has been printed. So, judge promos almost never lose a lot. Compare it to the rare reprinted Wasteland, whose 2 judge promos lost 50% when EMA hit the shelves.

So Intuition, being on the reserved list, is even safer as a judge foil, using your logic?

Yes, exactly. Cards on the RL are the safest speculation. The only thing that would impact the price would be a second judge promo of the same card, but that is highly unlikely with reserved list cards like Intuition or special promos like the phyrexian Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite.

If your feeling frosty, get your hands on a judge promo Gaea's Cradle. I think that ship may have sailed though. Bought mine for $350 before EMA launched and now I see them between 500 and 700.

Is Phyrexian elesh norn as good since it won't be reprinted, or the fact that regular Elesh Norn can be reprinted effect the value?

force of will judge promo was at 800 and is now at 350, if you had bought it at 800 or 900 you would have lost quite a bit.
