Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive |
|
The biggest finance news of the week is Hour of Devastation. Now that the full set is out and the numbers are crunched, it's clear that the set is one of the lowest value sets of recent years. This means a couple of things: First, buying sealed product is a bad deal from a finance perspective, which means lower supply and the chance for higher prices over the long run. Second, buying singles early isn't a horrible idea. Prices for most cards in the set are already so low that it's hard to imagine them dropping too much after the set releases.
As for the rest of the Magic world, the biggest news of the week was the buyout of Intruder Alarm, which managed to top eight a Modern IQ in a Combo Elves deck. This caused the enchantment to more than double up to about $12. As a unique effect and key piece of a ton of casual combos, it wouldn't be surprising to see this price stick or even rise further in coming months. With only two printings and the last one being in 8th Edition, it's more surprising that Intruder Alarm was only $5 until last week.
As far as Standard, the big winner was Dusk // Dawn which increased 26%, but is still less than a dollar. WU Oketra's Monument was the breakout deck of last weekend's SCG Invitational and is putting up a lot of results online, and Dusk // Dawn is an important part of the deck as both a one-sided wrath and a card advantage engine. While it remains to be seen if WU Monument will stick around in Hour of Devastation Standard, even if it doesn't, it wouldn't be a surprise to see another Dusk // Dawn list develop in the future now that the power of the card is clear.
