Finance: Swan Song
Since the release of Theros, I have been watching Swan Song. The first price range of $4-5 was pretty high so I stayed away. By November, the price was below $2 and I began trying to pick them up. The price still headed downward and has not really recovered as it is at a dollar or so now. I fully believe that this card should be in the $3-5 dollar range in the next few years. Standard has not really be the friendliest to Swan Song, but it has showed up from time to time in sideboards. Maybe with Jeskai Ascendancy on the rise, it will start to see more play. Helping protect your own combo, as well as countering opposing Ascendancies might do something for the card. Modern, Legacy, and even Vintage have shown promise for Swan Song. This might not be the wide view, but I have heard a handful of players in my area say they use Swan Song as a more budget version of Pact of Negation or because they just could not find Pacts to use. There could be some cases where Swan Song is better ...
