Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive |
|
It's been a pretty quiet week on the finance front. In fact, the three biggest winners in Standard—The Scarab God, Anointed Procession, and Botanical Sanctum—are the same as last week. All eyes are on Pro Tour Ixalan, coming in two weeks, which is the next (and perhaps last) chance for a huge shakeup in the format before Rivals of Ixalan in a couple of months. If you have some sleepers you think could break out on Magic's biggest stage, the time to pick them up is now.
As for Ixalan itself, most cards are trending down, but three cards from the Abzan Tokens decks are on the rise: Legion's Landing, Treasure Map (both gaining about 30% on the week), and Vraska, Relic Seeker (up 9% to $15.53). While the deck is putting up solid results primarily on Magic Online, the big test is yet to come at the Pro Tour. If the deck performs well we could easily see Treasure Map and Legion's Landing double up to near $10, while Vraska, Relic Seeker could end up near $25. On the other hand, if the Pro Tour is all Temur Energy and Ramunap Red, all of these card will start trending back down.
In older formats, Ice Cauldron (up 940% to $5) is the latest Reserved List buyout. It just goes to show that literally any card from any Reserved List set can be bought out at any moment. While it's unlikely many of you needed a copy of Ice Cauldron, if there are any janky bulk cards on the Reserved List that you do need, get them now before someone buys them out for no apparent reason.
