Weekly Winners 2019 - 05

Maybe you expected a lot of changes in the card prices of cards that see play in Standard. I expected that! But this week EDH rings the bell. And also: a classic card is on a steady rise!

 

#1 Marble Titan $11.93 (+1,680.60%)

Marble Titan

 

Barriers, fencing, walls.. call them what you want. The important thing is: do they have defender? Because when they do, they might fit in your EDH deck, commanded by Arcades, the Strategist. With that Elder Dragon, your defender-creatures can attack as if they did not have defender and they assign a lot of extra damage.

But attacking with 'walls' could leave you defenseless the next turn. Marble Titan might help with that. It keeps your opponents' creatures tapped whenever they attacked you (or when you were able to tap them with a spell or ability).

Since Marble Titan only sees play in EDH decks you might be seduced to conclude that Arcades, the Strategist is so immensely popular, that it made Marble Titan spike hard this week. Arcades, the Strategist is gaining in price and popularity but not that hard to completely explain this week's spike. Most probably Marble Titan was an attractive target for speculators as well. It fits in a popular EDH archetype and only saw print in an older set (Tempest) with a low print run and a core set with a small print run and open rate.

Also note the huge difference in price between US and European markets. In Europe you can scoop up your playset for just €2.70!

 

#2 Hallowed Spiritkeeper $6.69 (+945.31)

Hallowed Spiritkeeper

 

Hallowed Spiritkeeper sees play in EDH decks commanded by Teysa Karlov. When played at the correct time, Hallowed Spiritkeeper will provide you with an insane amount of 1/1 fliers that are hard to block by your opponent. Teysa Karlov is the one of the new hot commanders in the past weeks.

But Hallowed Spiritkeeper's spike is not only related to EDH. The card sees play in Legacy as well. That drives up the demand (and price) a little more. Some Death and Taxes decks in Legacy run Hallowed Spiritkeeper to gain some advantage when their board is wiped. Check out this decklist as an example:

#3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor $100.9 (+1.03%)

Jace, the Mind Sculptor

 

Our #3 winner is not a spike, but a MTG classic that has been creeping up slowly over the past months. As of this week, all printings of Jace, the Mind Sculptor are again $100 or more. This week, its printing from Masters 25 broke the $100 mark. An interesting fact, because Jace, the Mind Sculptor has been reprinted three times now, pushing down its price to a record low of $82 around the summer of '18. All printings show an uptick in price since the summer. The Eternal Masters printing gained $18 in value. That's $72 extra to dig out of your wallet for a playset.

Jace, the Mind Sculptor sees play in Modern, Legacy, Vintage and EDH. It sees regular play in a whopping 21 archetypes across formats. All in all, Jace, the Mind Sculptor is one of the most widely played Mythics in Magic. And its price is bound to rise as long is it not reprinted. Don't tell me I didn't warn you!

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!

Like every week, just in time for (digital) FNM, I'll now tell you about the cards that will be the talk of the (digital) town tonight!

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

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

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 - 05
