Weekly Winners (1)

01 Jan

The MTG financial market seems to be moving again, spoiler season has started and more interesting times are upon us. Due to holiday related time constraints I present a (very) concise version of the Weekly Winners. So, just in time for FNM, I'll tell you what cards will be the talk of the town tonight.

#1 Doomwake Giant +24% ($2.28) 

Doomwake Giant

 
Doomwake Giant has been popping up in Standard decklists since spring 2014. It has gone up and down in price a little, but is on the move again. The card sees play in a range of Standard decks. Doomwake Giant is good tech against 1/1 and 2/2 creatures (if you have enough mana to play 2 enchantments in a single turn). For instance against Hornet Queen and those pesky insect tokens.

 

#2 Sidisi, Brood Tyrant +20% ($5.99)  

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant

 

 

 

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant is back in our top 3, and is on the rise, together with its partner in crime: Whip of Erebos.

For more on both cards, check out the weekly winners from week 50.

 

#3 Hornet Queen +11.5% ($4.46)  

Hornet Queen

Hornet Queen is steadily gaining value again. Plenty decks are running the card and it keeps being popular.

  

Cheap pickup of the week: Sea Drake  ($9.56) ALL TIME LOW  

Sea Drake

The are not many efficiently costed blue creatures, but Sea Drake is one of them. And just because it is a pretty decent card, a 4/3 flier for 2U is a good deal in my book, this card once topped $20. The price is still very high for a decent card that sees no play in Standard, Modern, Legacy or Vintage, and for the simple reason that it was printed in Portal Second Age, which had a limited print run.

 

Also interesting this week

Check out these cards that are on the move this week. Either going up, or down, but always interesting to know!

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!

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.
