Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive |
|
This week in the world of Magic finance, the biggest gainer was Norin the Wary which gained 138% up to $17. Often considered a meme creature thanks to its ability that blinks itself whenever anything happens, the one-drop is now showing up in Modern in a new build of Five-Color Humans focused on Satoru, the Infiltrator. Together these cards draw you an extra card each turn, while Norin the Wary's ability to enter the battlefield each turn quickly grows Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant. At this point it's too early to tell whether this plan is legit or just a case of players trying out new cards, but Norin the Wary is a super unique creature and could be broken eventually, even if Satoru isn't the card that ends up doing it.
Not to be outdone, the Core Set 2015 printing of Waste Not also more than doubled up this week, increasing 141% to $7. For a long time the community-designed enchantment was mostly an Against the Odds cards, but recently it has evolved into a legit Pioneer staple in Mono-Black Discard. If you need some copies you'll save quite a bit of money by snagging the Enchanted Tales reprint, which is still under $3.
Finally in Commander, Thada Adel, Acquisitor is on the rise gaining 90% up to just under $30. While the ability to (often unblockably, thanks to islandwalk) steal artifacts from your opponents' decks is powerful, before Outlaws of Thunder Junction the Merfolk had few true homes in Commander, but now it's showing up in both Gonti, Canny Acquisitor (borderless) decks and Felix Five-Boots (extended) decks. Here it's worth keeping in mind that Thada Adel's current price is partially driven by scarcity - the three-drop is nearly 15 years old and has never been reprinted - at nearly $30 Thada Adel, Acquisitor seems like an easy include in a future Commander-focused set, and a reprinting would likely crash its price because even with its new Outlaws of Thunder Junction homes, the demand for Thada Adel, Acquisitor isn't super high.
