Interests

MTGStocks Interests tracks price changes for Magic: The Gathering cards. It shows which cards increased or decreased in value over time, helping you spot market trends and make informed buying or selling decisions.

Interests show cards with significant price changes. The feature tracks price movements across different time periods and card variants.

The page displays two main sections:

  • Since yesterday - Cards with notable price changes in the last 24 hours
  • Since last week - Cards with notable price changes over the past 7 days

Each table shows the card name, set, new price, old price, and percentage change. Cards are sorted by percentage change by default, with the highest increases at the top.

MTGStocks tracks four different price types for each card. Select the tab that matches the prices you want to monitor:

  • Regular - Standard non-foil prices based on vendor listings
  • Foil - Foil version prices based on vendor listings
  • Market - Actual completed sales prices for non-foil cards
  • Market Foil - Actual completed sales prices for foil cards

Market prices reflect what buyers actually paid, while Regular and Foil prices show what sellers are asking. Market prices often give a more accurate view of a card's true value.

Customize which cards appear in the Interests tables with these filters:

Format Filters

Show cards legal in specific formats:

  • OFF - Show all cards regardless of format legality
  • Standard - Cards legal in Standard format
  • Modern - Cards legal in Modern format
  • Legacy - Cards legal in Legacy format
  • Vintage - Cards legal in Vintage format
  • Commander - Cards legal in Commander format
  • Pauper - Cards legal in Pauper format
  • Pioneer - Cards legal in Pioneer format
Reserved List Filter

Control Reserved List card visibility:

  • Show - Display all cards including Reserved List
  • Only - Show only Reserved List cards
  • Hide - Hide all Reserved List cards
Other Filters
  • Released - Filter by card release status
  • Only show tournament legal - Filter out banned cards
  • Percentage - Minimum percentage change for a card to appear (4.0% default)
  • Difference - Minimum price difference in dollars for a card to appear ($1.00 default)

Active filters appear at the top of the page, making it easy to see what's currently applied.

The Interests tables contain several columns:

  • Card - Card name with format indicators and special symbols
  • Set - Set icon and name where the card was printed
  • New - Current price in dollars
  • Old - Previous price (from yesterday or last week)
  • % - Percentage change between old and new prices

Special indicators in the Card column:

  • * - Reserved List card

Click any column header to sort by that value. For example, click "New" to sort by current price instead of percentage change.

View prices in your preferred currency:

  • Click "Switch to €" to change from USD to Euros
  • Prices are based on TCGplayer data by default

Get the most from the Interests feature:

  • Check daily to spot sudden spikes that might signal good selling opportunities
  • Compare weekly trends to daily changes to identify sustained growth
  • Use format filters to focus on cards relevant to formats you play
  • Look for patterns in what kinds of cards are increasing (reserve list, specific sets, etc.)
  • Significant percentage increases on low-value cards may not be meaningful

Cards with extreme price changes often indicate buyouts or market manipulation rather than organic demand.
