Weekly Winners (36)

The market was much more interesting this week. It is spoiler season again and the recent spoilers have their effect on card prices already. Soonce again, I present you the cards that will be the talk of the town tonight.

  

 #1 Harabaz Druid +235,4% ($3.32) 

Harabaz Druid

The BFZ spoilers are upon us and are giving us the first real spikes. Harabaz Druid has been bought out because BFZ features allies. And since there is a modern allies deck (low tier, 0.30% of metagame), some speculators thought it would be wise to buy out ally cards they deem good enough to become interesting for the eternal formats. 

At his time in the spoiler season, it is still a huge bet if there will be any ally cards that will have enough synergy to be really good enough. Harabaz Druid is an obvious choice. Eldrazi's cost mana. And this card will give you just that, if you control enough allies. But this is a bet in itself, because will there be a new Eldrazi that will be good enough to be an addition to a modern deck that uses allies? 

Anything can happen to this (and other allies cards). If we do get (very) powerful new allies in BFZ, $3 might be cheap for a card like this. But if the allies prove to be disappointing, the $3 value can never hold. Place your bets please. 

 

#2 Jwari Shapeshifter +221.4% ($2.25)

Jwari Shapeshifter

Jwari Shapeshifter is the same story as above. The copy ability makes it possible to copy another ally is good. That is why this card actually sees play in modern decks. But for the rest it is the same story. Anything can happen, depending on the spoilers. Some people placed their bets causing the spike. Now it is up to you to make up your mind.

 

#3 Shaman of Forgotten Ways +217.3% ($8.60) 

Shaman of Forgotten Ways

Mono Green (or Devotion to Green) did well on the SCG Invitational in Somerset. Shaman of Forgotten Ways got a huge price increase in the wake of these tournament results. In contrast to some other decks, Alex Bastecki runs 4 copies of Shaman of Forgotten Ways in his deck. 'Details' like this get picked up fast and cause people to complete their playsets. Just in case all decks will start to run 4 copies of the card.

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.
