Weekly Winners (17)

24 Apr
by Peter

Week 17 proves to be a very slow and fairly uninteresting week. Not much movement, and the movement that can be found is not very surprising. So this week's Weekly Winners will be a bit shorter and consise.

#1 Tundra +17,5% ($235) 

Tundra

Tundra is following the trend of all the other revised duals: up, up, up!. The manabase is one of the most important pieces in any legacy decks, and most of them feature 4+ duals and 8+ fetchlands.

Duals are on the reserved list, and they are unmatched by any other land that produces a mana of two possible colors. So there is no competitive replacement for any dual. Legacy is a very popular format, especially among magic players that are over 25 years old and have a steady (and well paying) job. 

 

#2 Underground Sea +6.9% ($320)  

Underground Sea

 

Underground Sea is once again the most expensive dual land! For a short period of time, Volcanic Island was more expensive, but could not keep the record. Volcanic Island is reaching a plateau (no pun intended) around the $300 dollar mark. Underground Sea has broken that mark this week!

 

#3 Drop of Honey +78%  ($79)  

Drop of Honey

 

Have you read the rules text on the card? 

Does it seem familiar?

Exactly: Drop of Honey is the green mother of Porphyry Nodes, a card that has spiked because of it's appeal in Modern.

Drop of Honey has probably been bought out; it's on the reserved list and has collector's value. The fact that it has a unique ability and that it's reprinted as a color-shifted card makes it an interesting item. I don't think there is a huge demand for the card, but hey, there is not much supply. So I do expect this card to retain a higher price.

More from Peter:

Weekly Winners 2021 - 36

Just like last week, the Commander: Innistrad: Midnight Hunt spoilers are the main factor of influence on the markets this week. There are enough cards spoiled for the brewing to commence and we expect a lot more movement in the coming weeks!

Catalyst Stone Daybreak Ranger Oboro, Palace in the Clouds

Weekly Winners 2021 - 13

This week we saw a lot of interesting movement. Most of it caused by Strixhaven spoilers, but the old frame fetchlands spiked as well.

Deserted Temple Mox Tantalite Windswept Heath

Weekly Winners 2021 - 12

For the first time since the COVID pandemic hit, our interest page looks like normal for a change! Many (huge) spikes from different sets and eras. I choose to see this as an omen of better times ahead!

Chain of Smog Illumination Magma Sliver

Weekly Winners 2021 - 10

Somewhat of an odd week. Not really any spikes that has one really obvious or notable reason and of course still a lot of older cards moving up.

Selective Memory Pearl Medallion Zombie Master

Weekly Winners 2021 - 08

The most interesting week in a long, long time! Maybe I'm a but biased due to my love for Legacy, but this week that format is the biggest driving factor behind the three weekly winners.

Ethereal Forager Stifle Allosaurus Shepherd

Weekly Winners 2021 - 07

An interesting week, again driven by old card speculation and EDH. But we also have a special edition of Cheap Pickups, with a new way to look at cards that are (still) cheap pickups, but might go up later.

Shivan Dragon Sapphire Medallion Elvish Champion

Weekly Winners 2021 - 05

A strange and eventful week in the world of finance. Where you'd expect tons of cards to spike due to new brews, we mainly see a new hausse of reserved list cards being bought out. And also non-reserved list cards that happen to be MTG classics.
