Onto the Weekly Winners!

#1 Lumra, Bellow of the Woods $28.58 (+43%)

No, a 43% increase does not necessarily make this card the #1 winner. The actual card that drew my attention is the Borderless variant that shot up. But looking at that card, we can see that the regular print of Lumra has also been steadily climbing the past few weeks. So maybe it's time to talk about this card. If you've been following the land sacrifice strategies from Edge of Eternities, you can see why.

Lumra gets power and toughness equal to the number of lands you control while also having vigilance and reach. But the real power comes from the enters ability. When it enters, you mill four cards and then return all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield, potentially making Lumra huge.

$0.30 $0.79

The renewed interest for Lumra seems to come from the World Shaper precon that revolves around sacrificing your lands. Its commander, Hearthhull, the Worldseed, wants you to sacrifice lands for value, and Lumra provides a perfect payoff by bringing them all back at once while triggering any landfall effects you may have. We're also seeing movement because of Tannuk, Memorial Ensign decks, where bringing back multiple lands triggers damage to each player.

Lumra, Bellow of the Woods	CardKingdom $24.99	TCGPlayer $28.58
Lumra, Bellow of the Woods (Borderless) (0293)	CardKingdom $29.99	TCGPlayer $46.43
Hearthhull, the Worldseed	CardKingdom $1.79	TCGPlayer $2.00
Tannuk, Memorial Ensign	CardKingdom $0.79	TCGPlayer $0.30

#2 Masako the Humorless $35.22 (+77%)

This legendary Human Advisor from Champions of Kamigawa spiked this week, and it's all about the new Spacecraft cards from Edge of Eternities. Masako lets tapped creatures block as though they were untapped. While useful, there were only a handful of cards or commanders that work well with this. But it works very well with the station mechanic of the new Spacecrafts which you can charge up by tapping creatures. With Masako, you can tap creatures and still keep your blockers.

Before Edge of Eternities, this was just a niche piece that maybe showed in decks around The Wandering Rescuer, Samurai decks, and some people are now trying her out in Sonic the Hedgehog. But now you can build entire strategies around tapping creatures for value while maintaining board presence. Cards like Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought become much more attractive when you get to keep your blockers, and planets like Adagia, Windswept Bastion get a lot better when their charging doesn't leave you defenseless.

And while the upside certainly is there, it still sounds pretty circumstantial. It seems like the more important factor here is the scarcity of Champions of Kamigawa compared to the current player base, and Masako never having a reprint since. With the new rules allowing legendary Vehicles and Spacecraft as commanders, demand spiked right as players started brewing. Whether this holds depends on how popular these station strategies actually become, but for now, Masako has gotten some new love.

Masako the Humorless	CardKingdom $13.99	TCGPlayer $35.22
The Wandering Rescuer	CardKingdom $3.49	TCGPlayer $1.75
Adagia, Windswept Bastion	CardKingdom $8.99	TCGPlayer $7.58

#3 Clock of Omens $5.43

Let's talk about a card that isn't on the Interests this week, but did catch my attention. This artifact, originally printed in Fifth Dawn, lets you tap two artifacts to untap one. Keep in mind that you can untap an artifact you tapped as part of the activation cost. At the beginning of July, the card could still be bought for under two dollars, but will now cost you almost six. It seems like this card has flown a bit under the Interests radar because of gradual increase in price over the last two months.

The reason for it going up seems to come from the new Edge of Eternities commander Kilo, Apogee Mind. With Kilo you get to proliferate every time it becomes tapped, and Clock of Omens is the perfect enabler for that. This card isn't exactly new in Commander. There was already an infinite combo with the Clock, Magda, Brazen Outlaw, and Liquimetal Torque. By making Magda an artifact with the Torque, you can then tap her and another artifact to untap herself, making a Treasure in the process. From there you can go infinite.

Kilo is making more cards move up that have flown a bit under the radar. One of these other cards is Recon Craft Theta which has gone from twenty cents to about a dollar in the same time period.

Clock of Omens	CardKingdom $4.49	TCGPlayer $5.43
Clock of Omens	CardKingdom $4.99	TCGPlayer $6.99
Kilo, Apogee Mind	CardKingdom $2.29	TCGPlayer $2.80
Recon Craft Theta	CardKingdom $0.79	TCGPlayer $1.00
