“so far we also have no precedent for a reprint in a core set of a newer version of a planeswalker that was originally reprinted outside of a core set.”

While accurate we haven’t had all that much time for this to have occured. The first “new planeswalker” from the originals was Ajani Vengeant in Shards block which was only a few years ago. The fact that they reprinted the Lorwyn block ones in a core set (M2010), actually shows that they’ll print planeswalkers from an Expansion in a core set (I realize that it was the first time they’d been printed, but it does set a precedent). Liliana of the Veil was from an Expansion so reprinting her in a core set would be similar to reprinting Garruk Wildspeaker, Chandra Nalaar, Ajani Goldmane, Liliana Vess in a core set (which as I said has been done)

Right before rotation, that is. Phone cut me off there.

I think so, yes

The veil is not really tied to Innistrad, though in the storyline Liliana visits Innistrad while she has the veil.

The veil’s origins are covered in the webcomics.

That being said, the only cases of non-lorwyn planeswalkers being printed in a core set are Sorin and Gideon, both of which were used in the storyline of their block. (As opposed to someone like Tamiyo or Tibalt, who are very loosely involved in the storyline, though this could be due to Innistrad not having a novel of any kind (at least that I could find)). I don’t think the “of the veil” prefix to Liliana necessarily places her on Innistrad, but so far we also have no precedent for a reprint in a core set of a newer version of a planeswalker that was originally reprinted outside of a core set. That rule is the one Liliana has to overcome.

I think it’s possible if she gets too abhorrently high in price. With MM, Wizards has shown a desire to lower black market prices to increase the influx of players to older formats. If Liliana is played in every deck that plays black, much like most every blue deck would play Jace 2.0 if it could, reprinting her in a core set seems like a good way to dramatically increase supply. She never warped the standard format like Jace did.

First off, thanks! I think that’s a fair point, and we could see her at some point in Core. I think the veil is tied to Innistrad story-wise though, so I’m not sure if this would stop them or not.

It’s analytical breakdown of the rise of a card, the factors that led to it and how those factors affect the price moving forward by someone who’s followed the rise of this and similar cards closely. If I’m not here to critically analyze movements like this and chart an investment course moving forward, what am I here on the paid side to do?

I see where your comment is coming from, but the only reason I included what I wrote about it was to have a starting point for the card’s history and what followed, and is not especially relevant to the main crux of the article, which is determining the card’s future.

I’m pretty much on the same page, though I think it may go steadily higher, if at a slower pace, for the forseeable future.
