#1 Surrak, the Hunt Caller +175.4% ($5.37) 

Surrak, the Hunt Caller

Surrak, the Hunt Caller went up in price this week, and it seems that the MTG-community is stacking up on Surrak, the Hunt Caller because it can prove to be a solid card in Standard and EDH. A 5/4 for 4CMC is nice, and his formidable-ability makes him a bit better. Consider that he already has a power of 5 himself, so you will only need 3 more power. And by the time you drop him, you will probably have this already. Making it a virtual 5/4 haste in many situations.

I want to share a little association I have with the keyword formidable. Back in the summer of 2013 a belgian artist called Stromae had a huge summer hit with the song called formidable. The song is widely known in (western) Europe, not so much in the United States. Give it a listen, and you will never be able to just say formidable again, without at least thinking about the song :-).

 

#2 Savor the Moment +173.7% ($5.94) 

Savor the Moment

Savor the Moment spiked and is a bit of a mystery. Some deck brewers tried is out a couple of months ago, but with no much effect. But consider this: the card is one of the cheapest non-Time Walk time walks. Being unable to untap still grants you an extra turn, but the card has not been broken in such a way yet, that it is effective enough. 

Aside from other cheap manacosted cards that grant you extra turns, Savor the Moment is blue, where other options are red. The current popularity of the card could be driven by Tiny Leaders, since it costs only three mana and in a very limited format an extra turn might do you some good. But the fact that the card is from Shadowmoor, which didn't have a huge print run (compared to sets nowadays) could also effect the prices.

 

#3 Dromoka's Command +62.9% ($5.49) 

Dromoka's Command

Dromoka's Command is a quite powerful card and has potential to see eternal play. In Modern it could be solid tech against Burn decks, since you will be able to prevent damage from spells, kill Eidolon of the great Revel, and even fight a Goblin Guide. When you play against a deck you could have won against when you just had one more turn, Dromoka's Command could be the answer.

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.
