Outpost Siege

On the german site magickartenmarkt the card has been 1st in the weekly topselling products for a couple weeks now and the average price rose from 0.60 euro to 1.60 euro (almost tripled in price) within the last week.
Do you think it's going to rise even more with the play it sees in standart or do you think it's going to drop soon?

Keep a watch for it to appear in modern if anything. A few jund lists have started to sideboard it. Only the foils have a realistic expectation to rise due to the unique stamp on them but that is going to be long from now

Wait.... Isn't Outpost Siege really bad? I mean, why would anyone play it? In which situations is it good?

In the decks that run it, the whole "exile a card, you can play it this turn" is the same exact thing as saying "Draw two cards during your draw phase"

And if you ever have more creatures than your opponents life total, say with tokens, you can play it on Dragons and automatically win. They attack and kill you, or you block ,the creature dies, and you take the damage anyway.

It's a repeatable Chandra, Pyromaster 0 ability. Red decks and R/W decks don't have tons of card draw effects so they mostly use it to provide them with some card advantage as they're dumping their hand with those aggressive decks.

I think Ben Stark ran it in a R/W burn which took 2nd place in an SCG Open. You should be able to find it on the SCG youtube.
Just watch his games and you'll se why it's so good.

Well even if it does rise it's going to be like 2 euros or so. It's not exactly big money. I don't see it going down again quickly.
