Given that Sauron, the Dark Lord only has two prior printings, we can expect a meaningful drop in its price, likely in the range of 30–50% over the weeks following this release. The card's popularity in formats like Commander, where legendary synergies are abundant, might cushion the price drop somewhat. However, the influx of new copies will undoubtedly affect its market value initially.
Sauron, the Dark LordIf you have been eyeing this card for your collection or decks, it would be wise to hold off for a few weeks after the release of HOC. This waiting period should allow the price to stabilize at a lower point. Conversely, if you currently own multiple copies, consider listing them sooner rather than later to take advantage of the higher pre-reprint price before the market becomes saturated.
