Heh. Blame magictraders.com ... Their stats for Daru Mender sales:<br />
<br />
Daru Mender, 29.99, 0.00, 29.99, 29.99, 29.99, 0.00, 1<br />
<br />
Averaged out with Mike's price of 25p gives a price pretty close to $10.<br />
<br />
Their stats are not perfect (as you can see) but I don't really have anything better and they are really easy to parse unlike every other source of cards prices in the world. I have Mike's prices from quite a long time ago and a version using his prices only looks like this:…

But that excludes anything ZEN or later (I think) and is based on old prices.<br />

Are you sure this is right? There's some very strange stuff in there. I had no idea Daru Mender was worth $10. Also, I'm pretty sure that Knight Errant is worth about 2p. What's going on?<br />

There was an idea a while back to do $10 cube where every card closest to $10 is put in. Still reckon that would make for some good drafting.

Believe it or not there aren't really enough expensive yet also playable Magic cards!<br />
<br />
Perhaps these 164 cards that cost a fiver or more is something of a start:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://magic.bluebones.net/fiver.html" target="_blank">http://magic.bluebones.net/fiver.html</a><br />
<br />
But going down as low as a fiver even to get half the cards seems a bit rubbish.<br />
<br />
(And I've actually come up with a couple of better ideas for cubes so I will probably abandon this idea.)

Could you have that as a theme, rather than a rule? So "the 360 most expensive cards that you want in the cube", and take out all of the odd promos, and casual cards and so on?
