Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive
|
|
Unsurprisingly, most of the big financial news this week is tied to the Legacy format and the release of Eternal Masters. Cards that are being reprinted in the set, including Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Sensei's Divining Top and Sneak Attack are trending down, while cards that were expected but missed, like Rishadan Port, Show and Tell and Dark Depths are heading up. The good news for players is that most of these changes are comparatively small in the paper world&emdash;Rishadan Port is one of the biggest gainers at a 16% increase&emdash;so there's still time to pick up copies if you need them.
On the other hand, things happen fast on Magic Online and some of the cards missing from Eternal Masters have already increased significantly. Rishadan Port is up 23% and is about to break the 200 tix mark, Counterbalance is up 16% to over 18 tix, Stifle jumped 42% to 9.71 tix, and Glimpse of Nature more than doubled up on the back of some Elf reprintings in Eternal Masters. This said, maybe the most interesting Magic Online movement was Sunscape Familiar, increasing 4043% to 1.91 tix, on the hopes that the Esper Familiar archetype will be revitalized in Pauper now that Peregrine Drake is legal in the format.
One non-Eternal Masters note: People love mill. Two of the ten biggest winners in Modern this week are from the UB Mill deck that crushed day one (and faded on day two) of Grand Prix Los Angeles last weekend. These include Mesmeric Orb (up 36% to $11.64) and Glimpse the Unthinkable (up 6% to $34.30). We'll be publishing a Much Abrew About Nothing featuring the UB Mill deck, but spoiler alert: I'm not convinced this hype is founded.
