Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive
|
|
This week was fairly quiet in terms of MTG finance, but there are still a few things worth talking about. First off, Eternal Masters is set to drop on Friday, and while the price movement on individual cards has been mixed, the set as a whole has increased about 20% over the past 10 days (although it has started to tick back down over the past couple of days). Some of the biggest winners this week include Gamble, Sinkhole, and Chain Lightning, which each jumped between 58%-80%.
In Modern, the two biggest winners were surprising. First we had Realms Uncharted, which went from bulk a couple months back, to $3 today. While I've heard rumors that it's been seeing playing in Assault Loam decks, I haven't been able to find one in the MTGGoldfish database. Second was Greater Gargadon, which increased 75% this week to just under $5 on the back of its play in Dredge. Both spikes are random enough that I'm not completely sure what to make of them, but sticking at their new prices isn't impossible since both are relatively low in supply, even with the Modern Masters printing of Greater Gargadon.
Finally, on Magic Online it's all about the cards that weren't reprinted in Eternal Masters. Doomsday jumped 59% to 24 tix, Lotus Petal 48% to over 10 tix, and Land Grant 61% to 6.5 tix. I'd be looking through my collection for Legacy playable commons and uncommons to cash out over the next month or so. It seems like every couple of years, eternal formats get a bump on Magic Online, so I expect things will go back to normal after Eternal Masters and the Legacy Festival.
