This week most of the big finance news revolves around the impending release of Modern Horizons 2. A bunch of older cards which stand to benefit from some new Modern Horizons 2 additions to the format saw massive price increases. Arcbound Ravager doubled in price to nearly $40 thanks to the new artifact lands and modular theme of the set. Protean Hulk doubled up to $20 as one of the best reanimation targets for Persist in the format thanks to its combo potential. Speaking of reanimation, Footsteps of the Goryo increased 112% to almost $14 as a potential backup to Persist, while Vengevine (synergy with free evoke creatures and new madness threats), Ancestral Vision (one of the better cards to cascade into with Shardless Agent) and even Nix (a potential answer to the new evoke free spells) all saw major increases as well. At this point, it's too early to really say which of these prices will stick - it mostly depends on just how good these new Modern Horizons 2-infused archetypes end up being - but expect more price movement in the coming weeks as players get their hands on the set. Modern is about to undergo a major Upheaval.
While the prices of old Modern cards are getting crazy, prices of cards from Modern Horizons 2 itself are even crazier. While we should have an expected value calculation in the near future, some quick back of the napkin math suggests that the average value of a mythic in the set is currently $35 (with Chatterfang, Squirrel General spiking to $60 this week, making it the second-most expensive mythic in the set behind Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer), while the average rare is worth almost $10 (driven by the fetchland reprint). Of course, this should drop as the set releases and the product is opened, but my expectation is that even considering the absurdly high price of booster boxes (with Set and Draft boosters $250+ and Collector Booster around $400), the set likely offers solid value.
Finally, one last bit of weirdness: Some cards from The List are becoming extremely expensive thanks to their scarcity. This week the normal Brawl Precon version of Chulane, Teller of Tales (brawl deck) ticked up a bit to $6. This got me to click on Chulane's card page, only to find that The List version is $2,500. While this is partly a fluke driven by the fact that TCGplayer only has four copies for sale (with some at unreasonably high prices like $5000), even on eBay, the cheapest copy is listed for around $200. Whether or not anyone is actually buying at this price remains to be seen, but if you stumble into a playable The List card in a set booster box, don't just assume it is worth the same as its normal printing: Cards from The List are so rare that you might be able to get a big premium.
