3 Cards to look out for prior Battle for Zendikar Release! [Flash!]

I'm just going straight to the point here. Three cards to keep a lookout over the next 2-3 weeks. The price spikes for these cards are happening or may have happened, but they may continue to grow if my punts are right.

See the Unwritten - Ferocious

Seeing how the new Eldrazis are rolling out, See the unwritten is a very attractive card to have in a deck with so many targets and critters to choose, This will definitely be a new archetype or upgrading the current decks running this card if it is already prominent in Standard Constructed. 
Plus, having Ferocious mechanic on it just made it sweeter for the BFZ block.



Speculated Price: $15-$20 at its peak
Animist's Awakening - Landfall

With Landfall returning, I would expect this card to actually make it into its own deck in Standard Constructed. At the moment now, it seems clunky and weird playing this that if you have that much mana to make an impact using this card, you would probably be better off play See the Unwritten or Genesis Wave.However, if this set has great landfall abilities, then this card will be an all-star. At the moment now, I'll say this is not something to delve in too deep as a spec, but keep an very close eye on it.

Speculated Price: $3-5.
KTK + ZEN Fetchlands - Search for... / Landfall



With the new duals released, that's one more target these fetches can target into. The usability of these fetches has just gone up! Expect demands to be growing once BFZ rolls in. Also, with the Zendikar Fetches now spiked to unbelievable prices, they are the best replacements or inclusions to decks with budget or just need a fetchland to grab that particular colour.

Speculated Price: $25-$35 at its peak, Depending on Fetchland

Honorable Mentions:
  • Harabaz Druid - Ally


    As mentioned in my previous article, this card is an extremely powerful mana dork if left unchecked and it can potentially summon Eldrazi easily. Yes, it is not in Standard, and it may be a hype over the BFZ expansion. Still, it has already spiked $4.00. It may still grow if the Ally deck breaks out in the Modern format. But, nevertheless, if you have managed to acquire some of this card and are not using, why not sell? Though it has room to grow, $4 for this card is really pushing it and having acquiring them before the spike at $0.50, that's a $3.50 or a 700% profit margin right there! In short, Look to sell this card if you don't need it!
There are many and I really mean many cards to lookout for. But, these are top 3 cards that I can think of as an immediate discussion. Sure, these choices are not really ground-breaking, but I still think they are good picks to voice out and just let the others know.
