If I have a card that I spent $1500 on a year or two ago, and I invested that money, because the company said they wouldn't print any more ever, and then the price rises to $3100 for its condition, and then they announce the removal of the Reserve List tomorrow, and by the end of the week we see that it's going to be a mythic rare in Eternal Masters 2, I think that would be the worst feel bad moment ever
Ramp creatures like Birds of Paradise, spells like Growth Spiral, and of course an artifact like Chromatic Lantern
That combination of low supply and Base Set nostalgia pushed Chanseys pop report -breaking price above even some Charizard variants
The framing of the card is a huge departure from the traditional Magic card, making it a rarity among even Secret Lair cards
Thanks to the popularity of wheel effects like Windfall combined with draw hosers like Narset, Parter of Veils, Alms Collector generally ends up doing a lot of heavy lifting
