Weekly Winners 2022 - 01
First and foremost I would like to wish each and every one of you a happy 2022. Hope you managed to have a great NYE and were able to spend it with your loved ones. The first week of 2022 was pretty timid Magic finance wise. It kind of makes sense that people have plenty of stuff to do and recover from the holidays to really be bothered with buying cardboard. But I managed to scrape some cards together for you to see this week!
Like every week, just in time for FNM, I'll now tell you about the cards that will be the talk of the town tonight!
Come discuss this week's price movements with us on Reddit.

On November 18th 2021 the Secretversary Superdrop 2021 was announced and for the first time ever, it includes a full commander deck in the Heads I win, Tails You Lose bundle. It contains 10 new arts and "reversible cards". The decklist is inspired by Gavin Verhey's coin flip commander deck with
The sale has ended over two weeks ago and the consensus is that the deck was pretty popular, meaning people will soon get their hands on it and may want to prepare to make some changes and/or upgrades. A few weeks ago we already saw
Since the text on the card is rather small, here is the newer oracle text: Flip a coin. If you win the flip, you gain 1 life and target opponent loses 1 life, and you decide whether to flip again. If you lose the flip, you lose 1 life and that opponent gains 1 life, and that player decides whether to flip again. Double the life stakes with each flip.
Is this a good card? Probably not. Is it a fun card? If you like to gamble, yes it is, but if you wouldn't like to gamble then you probably wouldn't play this deck. So I can see why people want to get their copies. Currently the

2022 has been a busy year for Magic and especially the collectors. The market was flooded by Wizards of the Coast with new product. There have been, among others, four main sets, each having their own commander product, several Universes Beyond sets, Dominaria Remastered, Unfinity, and 70 Secret Lairs. Plenty of new cards hit the market. According to some calculations, almost 15% of all card variations were printed in 2022, and 25% of all commanders in existence were printed this year. Plenty of stuff to look back on!

I kind of assume there are not a lot of people who are sad that 2021 is finally over, and while we cannot and should not assume 2022 will be any better, it should not be that hard for 2022 to beat these past years. When the COVID-19 pandemic really started to flare up in 2020 we have seen multiple people saying this will be the end of Magic and people predicting the second-hand market to collapse. Neither of those have happened, and we see no reason why 2022 will be any different when it comes to that. Magic seems more popular than ever, and everyone knows that at some point we will be able to physically sling cardboard against each other again in the (hopefully near) future.
