Weekly Winners 2020 - 44
It's all EDH that drives the spikes this week. The Commander Legends spoilers are a big factor, but not the only one. And instead of the Cheap Pickups, I'll treat you to a display of Record Breakers this week.
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!

One (part) of the explanation of why this card started moving could be the fact that some (!) people run it in brews with
A slight headturn is all that is in order if you ask me.
And that brings me to another possible reason the card spiked. PleasantKenobi shared a video this week that features a 4 player game where all players have a deck commanded by
I am not totally convinced that this video with 20k views is solely responsible for the spike. But hey, I was not able to find much else. What might have happened is that the cards were already low on stock because of people brewing with it; and some extra attention pushed the cards to become out of stock and causing a spike.
