#1 Wasteland +42% ($135)

Wasteland

Wasteland is a key staple in many Legacy decks and in a few vintage decks. But the price spike of Wasteland is a surprise, since the playrate of the card is not that much bigger in comparison to a few months ago.

One thing did change: Death and Taxes is now a popular Legacy deck. We've seen Rishadan Port spike to $125, and has since corrected down a litte, and is steady around $115. Wasteland is strictly better in Legacy and a lot more decks run it. It's also more rare, since Wasteland is an uncommon. 

Wasteland lost a few percentage points since yesterday, but I think the card will retain its price. But sadly, its another card in a long line of legacy staples that spiked in price.

 

#2 Seizan, Perverter of Truth +100% ($3.28) 

Seizan, Perverter of Truth

 

One word: Nekusar.

Again.

Answer to last week's question why Winds of Change spiked in price?

Also Nekusar. (Thanks for all the tweets guys!)

 

#3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (+98.4%)  ($7.62)  

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

 

It's not surprising that Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is a winner! It's one of those very lucrative speculation targets and underpriced staples a format sometimes has. It's a key card in Legacy's Death & Taxes archetype. And you could buy them for only $3.50 a piece. 

When a deck gets more poplular, prices will go up. And this is a speculation target that will easily retain a high value over a medium-long term. 

Check out these graphs for a price overview of the Death and Taxes archetype:

 

Death and Taxes $0 - $15

 

Death and Taxes $15- +-$30 

 

Death and Taxes $110+

 

Also interesting!

Weekly Winners 2021 - 36

Just like last week, the Commander: Innistrad: Midnight Hunt spoilers are the main factor of influence on the markets this week. There are enough cards spoiled for the brewing to commence and we expect a lot more movement in the coming weeks!

Like every week, just in time for (digital) FNM, I'll now tell you about the cards that will be the talk of the (digital) town tonight!

Catalyst Stone Daybreak Ranger Oboro, Palace in the Clouds

Weekly Winners 2021 - 13

This week we saw a lot of interesting movement. Most of it caused by Strixhaven spoilers, but the old frame fetchlands spiked as well.

Deserted Temple Mox Tantalite Windswept Heath

Weekly Winners 2021 - 12

For the first time since the COVID pandemic hit, our interest page looks like normal for a change! Many (huge) spikes from different sets and eras. I choose to see this as an omen of better times ahead!

Chain of Smog Illumination Magma Sliver

Weekly Winners 2021 - 10

Somewhat of an odd week. Not really any spikes that has one really obvious or notable reason and of course still a lot of older cards moving up.

Selective Memory Pearl Medallion Zombie Master

Weekly Winners 2021 - 08

The most interesting week in a long, long time! Maybe I'm a but biased due to my love for Legacy, but this week that format is the biggest driving factor behind the three weekly winners.

Ethereal Forager Stifle Allosaurus Shepherd

Weekly Winners 2021 - 07

An interesting week, again driven by old card speculation and EDH. But we also have a special edition of Cheap Pickups, with a new way to look at cards that are (still) cheap pickups, but might go up later.

Shivan Dragon Sapphire Medallion Elvish Champion

Weekly Winners 2021 - 05

A strange and eventful week in the world of finance. Where you'd expect tons of cards to spike due to new brews, we mainly see a new hausse of reserved list cards being bought out. And also non-reserved list cards that happen to be MTG classics.
