I talked a lot last week about Rotation for Standard and how it is going to affect player interest in our most short-lived format. I also covered the cards from Dragons of Tarkir and Magic Origins that I thought fit well in this new world and evaluated their financial upside.
This week I’m going to complete that analysis — this time with Battle for Zendikar and Oath of the Gatewatch — to take us live into the new (and mad) world of Standard!

Excellent stuff, only wish a few more key cards were featured in your analysis.
Which ones? I’ll add them
Drana spiked. Will it stay? Or did someone/someones over-invest? It’s currently hanging at the price point you identified. But I imagine there will be a contraction as those holding for a spike start to sell off.
Is Jace, VP safe at its current price for now? Does it get better with SOI?
Unfortunately, the current price isn’t going anywhere. It will be extremely good with Madness, and is a good card even without it. If you need these to play with you just have to bite the bullet at this point.
Corbin, is bullet 2 of the OGW section still talking about Eldrazi Displacer or is there a different card?
Whoops, that’s supposed to be Wastes! Sorry about that, don’t know how it got left out.
I don’t think Reflector mage stays as popular as it has been post rotation. You can’t easily splash a third color to be able to cast it on turn 3 without fetches.
It’s more difficult for sure, but it’s also in a color with Eldrazi Displacer, and it’s hard to imagine that combo going anywhere.
