This Week in Magic - Week 40

07 Oct
by Jeremy Lichtenberger

No, No, No! I'm not going to talk about how Smuggler's Copter nearly doubled in price to $17! Ok, ok, so agro performed very well week one of new Standard, but that was expected. Right? Let's talk about this week in Magic.

 

Smuggler's Copter

Well, here I am talking about how Smuggler's Copter is a $17 card. Honestly, I didn't expect it to get this high, and DEFINETLY didn't expect it to maintain a full week. As of this writing, Smuggler's Copter, a rare, is the 4th most expensive card in Kaladesh. Wow. Is Copter good? Of course. Is it great? Yeah! Is it's worth $17? Only time will tell.

 

Aether Hub

Let's talk about a card I think is really cool. Aether Hub saw a pretty big gain this week, and I think this card can easily stay above $3 in the future. It's a Tendo Ice Bridge (a $9 card) that contributes to some very powerful plays, like what I plan on doing with it and Aetherworks Marvel (shhh.) If energy will ever be a thing in the distant future, this will be one land you can't do without!

 

Scrapheap Scrounger

Scrapheap Scrounger is on a gradual rise, but this card is deep! It might seem like a lackluster card outside of specific decks, but it's a recurable threat. True, it can't block, but who needs to block when you're beating face?

It's foil time, and man did this first one blow my socks off. Foil Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is $52! Stop what you're doing now, and go look for yours! 7th Edition Birds of Paradise just passed the $350 mark, even though it's not the best art (haha.) My foil Life from the Loam copies are $84 each now, and that makes me very happy. Finally, if you need a reason to open Conspiracy: Take the Crown, look no further than Leovold, Emissary of Trest. A $150 foil that's probably not likely to stray too far from the $100 mark.

Want to know what cards to pick up while they are cheap? Look no further than the Planeswalkers of Kaladesh! All four are at their lowest point since spoiled. Chandra, Torch of Defiance has reached her lowest, but I think she will bottom out a bit more before flat lining. Nissa, Vital Force has been doing the best price-wise, but it seems like a decent time to pick up your copies of Planeswalkers for your casual or competitive decks.

Pro Tour Ixalan is upon us, and it is happening after the meta has been cemented, which stands to have decks break out of the dark and surprise us all. There were a number of interesting spikes this week thanks to a new Modern deck taking over, and we discuss some awesome foil spikes. Without further ado, I give you, this week in Magic!

Repentant Blacksmith Meddling Mage Ancient Ziggurat

This Week in Magic - Week 42

We had a somewhat uneventful week, as Modern and Standard are still struggling to establish a solid meta, but unexpectedly we saw quite a few spikes in older cards. It's a brewers paradise out there, so at any moment a random card or group of cards can take over a format. Let's see what kind of movement we had, this week in Magic!

Ice Cauldron Marionette Master Corpse Harvester

This Week in Magic - Week 42

This week was plagued with old, obscure cards, but between the fog shined a few gems. We also had an interesting no bans announcement from Wizards that hinted something may be coming off of the ban list in Modern. Let’s plow through all the crazy cards that saw an uptick, this week in Magic!

Urborg Justice Anointed Procession Kindred Dominance

This Week in Magic - Week 41

We have the Nationals this weekend alongside SCG Charlotte, so prepare for some great Magic action! Standard is still trying to figure the meta out post Worlds, and Modern is still up for grabs. There was a little bit of everything spiking this week, from reserved list cards (shocking) to Ixalan cards. Let's check out our spikes, this week in Magic!

Quicksilver Fountain Erhnam Djinn Search for Azcanta

This Week in Magic - Week 40

World’s is upon us and I hope you’re all as excited as I am. SCG Dallas gave us a glimpse into what the new meta is going to look like and there weren’t too many surprises. On the heels of the first large tournament in new Standard, we had some movement in new and older cards. Let’s get into all the top market movement, this week in Magic!

Volrath\'s Shapeshifter Rishadan Footpad Hostage Taker

This Week in Magic - Week 39

Ixalan is here! While I am rejoicing that, I am also weeping as I say goodbye to Eldrazi in Standard. We have a brand new Standard upon us and from what I’ve seen, people are struggling to find new decks that perform well. As people try new things, cards will go up and down at the drop of a hat. Let’s take a look at what movement we saw this week, in Magic.

This Week in Magic - Week 38

Who’s ready for dinosaurs and pirates? I know I am! I’ve built a super sweet U/B pirates list and I can’t wait to play it on MTGO and in paper. We’ve had some expected movement in the reserved list segment, but also a hype train for a big bad dino. Hopefully everyone has a fun and safe pre-release, so let’s all board the ship to Ixalan, this week in Magic!

Carnage Tyrant Well of Knowledge Knacksaw Clique

This Week in Magic - Week 37

What a week! Iconic Masters dropped at Hascon, and pictures were flooding in at the same time more spoilers for Ixalan were getting dropped. It was an insane Friday and while we got some great cards, the market didn’t really shift too much. Let’s breakdown all the madness, this week in Magic!

Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund Psionic Blast Preemptive Strike

This week in Magic - Week 36

I had a bit of madness at work last week and unfortunately wasn’t able to publish an article, which is unfortunate because FAR too many things happened in the Magic world. Ixalan spoilers are in full swing, dinosaurs are awesome, and Planeswalkers have finally been turned in legendary permanents. Let’s take a deep breath and dive into this week in Magic!

Empress Galina Opt Urza\'s Tower (Mountains)

This week in Magic - Week 34

If you thought there were a lot of reserved list buyouts last week, this week will make you sick. I’m going to try and avoid talking about most of the unplayable cards this week, other than one of my favorite Legends. This week will be a shorter article as I've been on the road and haven't had great access to a computer/internet. Let’s try to push through all these movements, this week in Magic!
