Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive |
|
For being a week with a Banned and Restricted announcement, this week was surprisingly quiet on the finance front with some casual buyouts and Standard readjustments taking center stage. In Standard, the big losers are the lesser mythics from Core Set 2019, with the Buy a Box promo Nexus of Fate, reprints like Omniscience and Scapeshift along with some of the lesser Elder Dragons all tumbling on the week. Meanwhile, Liliana, Untouched by Death (up 10% to just under $11) tops the winners list with Zombies getting some hype for M19 Standard. For more Core Set 2019 finance, make sure to check out the expected value article that went live today!
In Modern we had two uncommon, Commander-driven buyouts. First up is Wall of Shards (up 63% to over $6), a fairly low supply card from Coldsnap that's a casual 8/8 flier for two-mana in a Arcades, the Strategist Commander deck. Second is Bramblewood Paragon (up 85% to just under $6), a solid addition to the Najeela, the Blade-Blossom-fueled Five-Color Warrior Commander deck. While both of these cards will probably maintain their prices for a while, the more expensive an uncommon gets, the more likely the card is to be reprinted in a Masters set or other supplemental product. Both Wall of Shards and Bramblewood Paragon are very reprintable.
Finally, as you probably know by now, Stoneforge Mystic shot up in price (hitting $60 at one point after being $24 a little while ago) over the past couple of weeks based on speculation about a possible unbanning. While the unbanning didn't happen this announcement, it's always a possibility in the future. For now, the biggest question is will Stoneforge Mystic's price go back down now that it is staying banned? The answer is somewhat. These B&R based buyouts happened regularly with Bloodbraid Elf for years, and while the Elf's price did drop after it remained banned, it typically stayed about 20% above its pre-buyout price. If this pattern holds true with Stoneforge Mystic, expect it to settle in the $30-$35 range when all is said and done.
