This week in the world of finance Pioneer prices are still on the rise. While the biggest gainer%age wise was Indomitable Creativity (up 25% to $10.50), which has been seeing increased play in both Pioneer and Modern, perhaps even more notable is Emrakul, the Promised End hitting $90 for the first time after gaining 15% on the week. This is in part because Emrakul, the Promised End has started showing up in a reasonable number of Modern sideboards and in part because, unlike Emrakul, the Aeons Torn which seems to get a reprint every Masters set, little Emrakul has never been reprinted at all. It, alongside Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, seem like easy includes in the next Masters set, but who knows when that will be, so in the meantime, if you need any of the newer Eldrazi Titans, plan on paying a premium.

Speaking of Masters sets, Double Masters 2022 is still trending down overall, albeit slowly with the total set value dropping a couple of% in the past week. The bad news is most of this decline is coming from lower end cards rather than staples and some of the best Commander cards in the set like Dockside Extortionist and Mana Vault ticked up this week. If you've been waiting to pick up the singles you need, it's probably a fine time to start buying.

Last but not least, Hopeful Initiate nearly doubled in price to $5 this week. The one-drop survives rotation along with the Human theme from Innistrad: Crimson Vow and Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and has been adopted in various Human decks in Pioneer along with seeing some Human tribal play in Commander. It seems like it was likely undervalued at $2.50 for the amount of play it sees, although it's hard to imagine it going much higher. If you have copies you're not planning to use, it's probably worth selling them into the hype.
