Commander format discussion
Also called EDH or Elder Dragon Highlander, Commander is Magic's most popular format and all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your 100 card deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic's history.
Commander combines the command zone, color identity, singleton deckbuilding, multiplayer strategies, and the entire MtG cardpool for one of the most exciting and fresh ways to play.

Agreed.
It really sets them up for an [[overrun]] effect the next turn. We also got some potential commanders for spider decks in the lotr set, so spider generating cards are probably a bit more in demand.
Cards like [[crystal spray]] don't suddenly become better very often, but if they can be used in a new deck and have not been reprinted in a number of years they can see a spike in cost.
Yeah it looks like the price leaped up to 60 bucks right when Shelob was spoiled, then settled down a bit, especially with the reprint announced. Shelob single-handedly makes Spiders a good type, so that makes sense.
