The downfall of Onslaught fetchlands
Khans of Tarkir has rocked the price of the most costly part of Legacy decks: it's manabase. The Onslaught fetchlands will be reprinted and that news has caused the collapse of the fetchland prices. Let's roundup all five lands in one convenient analysis! (And I've thrown in the 5 other fetchlands as well ;-)

The first and quickest overview is the amount of lost value for each card:
Polluted Delta - $32Flooded Strand - $22Windswept Heath - $10Bloodstained Mire - $9Wooded Foothills - $9
The loss percentages are interesting to note: the most expensive cards lose the most value (23,7% - Polluted Delta); where the 'cheaper' fetchlands lose only 11% of their value.
Check out their graphs for a complete price history and overview:
Polluted Delta - $32 ($62.68)

Flooded Strand - $22 ($51)
 |
Bloodstained Mire - $9 ($31)
 |
Windswept Heath - $10 ($31.50)
 |
Wooded Foothills - $9 ($33.20)

Combined Graph - Onslaught Fetch
The best way to notice the differences between the cards is to put them together in one graph.
Please note: you can (de)select cards by clicking on them in the graph legend.
Combined Graph - Khans Fetch
Currently, the Khans of Tarkir fetchland reprints seem to be stabilizing. But beware: the pre-prerelease prices are (a lot) higher in most of the cases. But, in the case of fetchland the power of the cards can neither be underestimated or overestimated since the cards are cornerstone cards.
Also, we can expect a lot of trade (and therefore supply) in the fetchlands. Players that don't compete in either Legacy or Standard will trade away their fetch to get access to the cards they really want and need. The higher the prices, the higher the trade in value of the cards.
Another unanswered question is the impact of modern on the new reprinted fetchland. That format will now have access to all the fetchland color combinations, since the Onslaught block is not Modern legal. Manabases will become more flexible and more consistent.
Combined Graph - Zendikar Fetch
Please note: the Zendikar fetchlands are also losing value since the announcement that their Onslaught counterparts were getting a reprint. Not very surprising, because Modern decks will have access to the fetchlands that exactly fit their colors, instead of fixing it with only 'one part' of the fetchland. Check out the stats and graph:
Arid Mesa -$3Marsh Flats -$2Misty Rainforest -$4Scalding Tarn -$8Verdant Catacombs -$4
Combined Graph - All Fetch
And to conclude this article, all fetchland side by side.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
