It’s not just the heavy opening, but it’s also that you have a small set of cards with high price tags. An in print set can only hold so much value, and having cards that just maintain value as other cards are opened and sold off causes the rest of the stuff to be worth less on average than in other sets.

So, is the expedition effect just the concept that a set is opened heavily because it contains staples, or does it mean something else?

Maybe so, but it’s hard to define it exactly. If Sylvan Advocate is from Oath and it is definitely being suppressed by the Expedition effect. It’s in like every deck and it’s barely over $5!

You are so very right. Still like the pick though.

One counter-point though, while I agree wholeheartedly with the “expedition effect” on BFZ, I don’t think it’s nearly as big on Oath. With WoTC putting both the shocks AND fetches all in BFZ there was a HUGE demand to crack BFZ to get them. Oath got the short end of the stick with it’s expeditions (though not terrible, they just didn’t have the demand that the main mana base on modern did).
