Why hasn't this card spiked? If any reserved list card is going up in value, it would make sense for it to be this one. Why? Bloomburrow is a set that focuses on ten different animal creature types. Bird is the major animal for blue/white so you can expect many new birds to enter the game. While bloomburrow is not a fully typal set there are some typal cards sprinkled throughout the animal kingdom. That means birds are receiving tribal support for the first time in many years. Birds are quite popular so I would expect the number of bird commander decks to increase after the release of bloomburrow. After all, there are bound to be some bird commanders and one or more of these commanders may support the tribe. Typically, there is at least one commander that blatantly screams at you to play birds. Soraya the falconer is a legendary creature so it can function as a mono white bird commander. A lord effect for all birds and the threat of banding is decent for the 3 mana cost. Having a lord in your command zone firmly establishes you as a bird typal deck but this card also functions quite well in the 99 of any bird deck. The cost is at an acceptable rate and the power level is borderline. If you are making a kastral the windcrested deck when bloomburrow comes out don't you just throw in the falconer? I will admit that I am dissapointed in some of the bird support in bloomburrow. Many of the bird cards support cards WITHOUT flying. That is dissapointing as most birds fly so those support cards clash with a bird decks overall strategy. I will note that this creature does not fly so that actually adds further use for this card. Even so, did birds get the short end of the stick just to make limited playable? How do people feel about this choice? People have looked at this reserved list card in the past. If players were currently interested in vintage Magic then eyes would fall on soraya the falconer. Instead, people don't even pick up reserved list bulk when it synergizes with the latest set anymore. Aside from a spike in 2021, the card also had attention on it as early as 2018. Today, the card is less than two dollars even with so many bird cards being spoiled. This is not the first time that birds have had the spotlight. There was also some bird support in invasion and flying and bird support has been sprinkled throughout the history of the game. Will this be the next reserved list card to spike in 2024? Is this card just one bloomburrow spoiler away from being the next market hit? Why hasn't anyone attempted to manipulate the reserved list bulk market? Perhaps that person could be you?

Making progress on banding practice! I want to get good enough that I can band my own horses at the western shows😊

We had a banding ceremony for the team O today. 🥳 These four were the participants. So excited! 🙈😂

This was the last clutch of 2023 and they got the remaining bands, white. 🤍

Baby bird getting ready for the band. ☝🏻 Angwy. 😠

No babies were hurt during the banding. They are curious little boys and girls. 🥰👇🏻

Day 3913 - Went out banding this morning - possibly my last day for the season, but we'll see. Banded my first white-crowned sparrow! (Although a different subspecies from this one)

Geese with Neck Bands

This group of Canada Geese is unusual because they each have a white band around their necks. The bands have numbers on them, so I’m assuming they are some sort of official marking and/or tracking process. The geese seem to be quite uncomfortable, and I wonder how, why, and when this banding happened.
