Weekly Winners 2022 - 10
We see some cards move from
Like every week, just in time for FNM, I'll now tell you about the cards that will be the talk of the town tonight!
Come discuss this week's price movements with us on Reddit.
#1 Wandering Mage $19.69 (+920%)
I am a bit on the fence about this one. It has seen an enormous spike, and thus maybe should be addressed. But one of the more important characteristics of this card is that it is on the reserved list. The past few weeks we have seen multiple cards on the reserved list go up, and more notably, usually the cheaper ones. They are easy to buy out, driving up the price, and then quickly relisted to try to sell them again for a profit.
To be honest I am not totally sure about why this card was targeted for a buyout, but we can try to get a sense of why this card. The last week we have gotten some more insight around the upcoming set Streets of New Capenna. The set takes place in the metropolis of New Capenna, a city that has both grit and glamour. It is a place built by angels, but now ruled by five demon crime families battling for supremacy. One of these families is the Esper aligned Obscura family whom are talented wizards and mystics who use their power to deceive and blackmail, using distractions, illusions, and hidden mechanisms.
So why am I bringing this up?

But we even see it come up in Modern and Legacy builds. In Modern the card is being played, for example, in 4 color Omnath, Orzhov decks, and Boros Hammer. We see
It's not strange that this card is making waves across formats because it is an instant with a high impact since it can clean up several kind of threats: artifacts, enchantments, and creatures. That being able to do on instant speed plus being able to exile cards to make it cheaper when really necessary makes this card very versatile. And of course because of this we also see it show up in Commander builds that can support it. Versatility usually is quite important in these decks.
#3 The Wandering Emperor $28.00 (+87%)
Wait, is white actually... good?! Right! So now that we have that corny prejudice out of the way, lets talk a bit about
Then the next turn, after being flashed in, you can active one of the abilities again and now the opponent also has to try to deal with a planeswalker.
This planeswalker was also mentioned on The Command Zone last week which could also have an impact on the price.
Cheap Pickups
Please note: for our 'record low' we consider the price of the card over the past 7 years. Many cards have been even cheaper (a) decade(s) ago. Also note: some cards are still going down, and might be even cheaper pickups next week.
