#1 Fatestitcher +1004.2% ($2.65) 

Fatestitcher

 
Fatestitcher is one of the biggest spikes this year, it went up 1004.2% this week, after the Jeskai Combo deck in modern had a good performance on the MTG Worlds. In the deck, Fatestitcher  is used as a mana elf, sort of. You can untap your lands in order to tap them again for mana. Because it is blue you can have mana acceleration without having to splash green into the deck. And don't forget that it works with Jeskai Ascendancy as well, since you get to untap (and +1/+1) it for every non-creature spell you play. 

Right after the release of KTK, people said that Jeskai Ascendancy should get banned, because the deck is too good in modern. It was said that Wizards does not want a deck in modern that can win on turn 2. But Jeskai Ascendancy is still here. Still unbanned.

Even now people on webforums are saying that you should not buy into any cards that spike because of Jeskai Ascendancy. And that the card is going to be banned for sure. It is up to you to decide who is right. 

 

#2 Chalice of the Void +89.1% ($14.75)

Chalice of the Void

 

Both printings of Chalice of the Void have gained in value significantly. Chalice of the Void is now almost a $15 card, and with good reason. It's a very versatile, crossformat sideboard piece. Check out last week's winners for more on the card. 

 

#3 Choke +109.4% ($3.12)

Choke

 

 

The #3 of this week is Choke, another crossformat sideboardpiece that has gained in popularity and now also in price. It is a decent card against any fast decks that use blue. Aside from Merfolks, it is also good against UR Delver, Storm Combo and Ascendancy decks. 

Choke sees play in Legacy too, but the 3 CMC is a lot more prohibitive in that format. But, with some mana dorks or other acceleration it can still be a solid drop against certain opponents. Remember that Blood Moon is also a solid sideboard card in Legacy, even though it has a 3 CMC and has to be dropped early in the game to really be effective. With Choke that is less of a problem, since your opponent can still use their islands 1 more time. But the earlier the you drop it, the better it is.

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!

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.

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.
