SOI Hype = Innistrad Spike?
Economics forum

I was thinking about something earlier. With Shadows over Innistrad spoiler season in full swing, a lot of players who weren't around for original Innistrad block will be introduced to the plane this time around.
I would hope this would lead to them getting interested in the (admittedly incredibly fascinating) lore behind the plane, and begin to look back at original Innistrad to see what cards were printed back then (or something like that).
Which leads me to my actual point: Which cards from original Innistrad block are the most likely to go up in price as people maybe begin to see these cards for the first time (or see new interactions with cards coming out in SOI)?
Tl;dr which cards from old Innistrad will go up in price due to SOI hype?
Discuss!

Haha I mean, Lili is going to stay high regardless of SOI hype. Though I believe that was the point. :P

It looks like Vampire Tribal will be big, so I'd look at some of the Innistrad/Dark Ascension Vampires. I also think Zombies will be big. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Dark Tribal deck with Vampire and Zombie, with Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet leading the pack.

the expensive cards from the orignal inistrad will stay the way they are. I doubt anything they print will change anything.

DrFunk27 any chance Olivia Voldaren could see the same treatment?

She's a very popular creature, for tribal, EDH, and even Modern (somewhat). New Olivia doesn't look quite as strong, so I'd say the original could see a price increase.

You know I remember when lili was $20. She slowly rose after rotation and settled on about $60- $80 for a long time. A few months ago we were talking about whether shed ever reach $100. Now she's $110. If ever a card were to be hyped into price increases it's her.

I remember trying to trade my Huntmaster of the Fells Flip for Liliana of the Veil because they were both ~$40 at the time.

canterlotguardian I could see Olivia moving a bit. Army of the Damned just got a reprint, so unlikely it goes for more than $2.

They are already pretty pricey, but I still stand by my decision to finish my playset of foil Delver of Secrets Flip once Aberrant Researcher was revealed at GP Melbourne. An eternally playable flip card that was pretty much guaranteed to never be reprinted once it missed the SoI block, and I saw what happened to Inquisition of Kozilek at the end of Oath spoilers.
At least, thats the excuse I gave myself for buying what was really a second playlset for me since I already had 4 non-foils :D
