Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive |
|
The big finance news this week is Masters 25, which has been one of the more controversial Masters sets in a long time. We'll have a full EV breakdown next week, but as of right now, the set looks to have a reasonable amount of value. The question is how much value the set will have two weeks or two months from now, since many of the most expensive cards like Filterlands and Imperial Recruiter are expensive more because they have low supply than because they have high demand. If you are looking to pick up cards from the set, wait a month or two for prices to drop and you'll save a nice chunk of money.
Meanwhile in Modern, the biggest winners are cards that people thought might be reprinted in Masters 25, but dodged a reprinting in the set. The biggest is Through the Breach which jumped 55% to $70, but Dark Confidant, Mox Opal, Karn Liberated, and Liliana of the Veil all posted meaningful increases as well. If you need these cards for your Modern deck, you might just have to pick them up regardless of the cost. But be warned: All of these cards will be reprinted eventually, quite possibly within the next year.
Finally, the new Challenger Decks are selling at or below their $30 MSRP... if you buy all four decks together. The problem here is that when stores buy the decks they need to order them in sets of four (one of each), which means there's a real risk that supply will run low on the red deck with Hazoret the Fervent and Chandra, Torch of Defiance, while some of the less in-demand decks will be stuck cluttering up LGS shelves. As a result, some stores might price the red deck above MSRP and the other decks at or below MSRP to try to even out sales. This happened in the past with the True-Name (em>Nemesis</em) Mind Seize Commander deck and Wizards fix the problem by allowing reorders that consisted primarily of Mind Seize (with less of the other decks). It might be worth it for Wizards to take a similar tactic with the Challenger Decks if there's a shortage of the red decks.
