Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive |
|
This week in Magic finance we're still seeing the multiverse adjust to Modern Horizons 3. The biggest winner this week was Trinisphere (Fallout Vault Boy), with the infamous lock piece shooting up 215% to $50. Ever since the banning of Simian Spirit Guide, Modern has lacked a way to play lock pieces quickly, but this changed with the printing of Ugin's Labyrinth which makes it easy to slam a [[Trinisphere] on turn two. Toss in the increasing popularity of various Eldrazi and Tron decks and it seems like Trinisphere (Fallout Vault Boy) is back. If you need some copies, the Universes Beyond Fallout printing is still under $30, half the price of the Darksteel version.
Speaking of Modern, Wish (extended) jumped 172% to $9 this week after being adopted as a four-of in Ruby Storm as a way to find finishers out of the sideboard. With this price jump, Wish (extended) is now the second most expensive card in Adventure in the Forgotten Realms behind Old Gnawbone. The card sees fringe play in some other decks like Belcher and Twiddle Storm which is nice, although literally not working at all in Commander limits its ceiling. I'd be surprised to see it go much higher.
Finally in Commander, Umbral Mantle is on the rise with the uncommon shooting up 184% to $35 thanks to its ability to combo with Nadu, Winged Wisdom as a zero equip-cost equipment. I'd look to sell any extra copies into the hype - while there is demand for the card, the biggest reason for the current price is the lack of supply since the card is over 15 years old and has never really been reprinted - sooner or later it will show up in a Commander precon or Masters set and it will crash back down around $5.
