Weekly Winners (46)

13 Nov
by Peter

Due to serious time constraint, I present you with a very short and consise version of the weekly winners this week. For the third week in a row, trade has been at a low point! But there is one big reason that drives up the value of our weekly winners: the UR deck in Modern and Legacy.

#1 Forked Bolt +299% ($3.95) 

Forked Bolt

 
Forked Bolt has seen a huge spike: +300% in the past 7 days! 

Since UR is now popular in both legacy and modern, some cards that were previously underused and undervalued now gain in value. And Forked Bolt is one of them. With it, you can deal with irritating hatebears (which are not always 2/2) and you can also slay two small creatures your opponent controls, like Delver of Secrets and Young Pyromancer.

 

#2 Price of Progress +36% ($8.86)  

Price of Progress

 

Price of Progress was the #3 winner last week, and is now the #2. For reasons, check out last week's winners.

The short version: Price of Progress  is a very good card in most legacy matchups, and now that it can finally be played outside the mono-red burn deck people want in! And UR is now so popular in Legacy, that players want to get their hands on the cards that allows them to make that new deck, and Price of Progress was not played that much, so a lot of people still need the card.

 

#3 Monastery Swiftspear +19.7% ($2.37)  

Monastery Swiftspear

 

 

Monastery Swiftspear is the third winner this week, and the third card that went up because of UR in modern and legacy. UR is currently dominating modern, and getting all the more present in legacy. In both decks, Monastery Swiftspear is a powerful one-drop that you can play a turn after delver, and allows you to attack with a flipped delver, Monastery Swiftspear and use your open mana to cast a damage spell to deal with your opponent's threats, cantrip, or burn him. Do this with lightning bolt and you can hit your opponent down to 12 in turn 2.

Expect Monastery Swiftspear to go up some more, especially when UR continues to thrive. Even for a set that is popular and still opened. Just because the card is now so cheap to get, modern and legacy players alike will try to stack up on them.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
