Weekly Winners 2020 - 35
Another week filled with Reserved list spikes and price hikes and it was quite a challenge to filter through al those bizarre spikes to find the more interesting winners to present to you this week. Just like last week, we will not share the cards that had the biggest percentual change, but the most interesting or impactful winners this week.
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!
See something interesting in the world of card prices? Be sure to pitch me a tweet: @MTGPeter
#1 Mox Diamond $699.99 (+14.28%) - ALL TIME HIGH
Its current price hike is very probably way to high for what the card is actually worth. As you might notice on the card page, its market price is not following suit and its uptrend actually broke this week and its market price has even fallen a bit.
#2 Revised edition Dual Lands
Of all the reserved list cards the Dual Lands are the most widely played pieces and absolute cornerstones of the Legacy and Vintage formats. Demand for these cards is high and the cards see actual play in many decks across the Eternal formats. For those unfamiliar, there are decks that have no or just a few basic lands, their slots taken by Duals.
Over the past weeks, many Reserved List cards have been going up. Most of them are unreasonable and probably unsustainable price hikes. There are a few exceptions, and the Dual Lands are one.
But these high prices have a very big downside for the health of the eternal formats. Mana bases are extremely important in both Vintage and Legacy. And only very few decks can omit the Duals Lands and still be competitive. These high powered formats need high powered mana bases. And as the prices rise, these lands become ever more unobtainable.
#3 Final Fortune $10.38 (+73.29%) - ALL TIME HIGH
I'm happy to report that there is more to this financial week than just Reserved List spikes.
As frequent readers of this article probably know by now, there are certain types of cards in Magic that get a value bonus. Cards with alternative casting costs for instance, or Planeswalkers. Another example fits
Many players get itchy and brewy when they happen upon cards that are fun to play and even better to win the game with. And playing
Aside from that value bonus,
But do note that the playrate of
Cheap Pickups
Please note: for our 'record low' we consider the price of the card over the past 7 years. Many cards have been even cheaper (a) decade(s) ago. Also note: some cards are still going down, and might be even cheaper pickups next week.
Teferi, Time Raveler $12.49 - Record low and going down hard
Fabled Passage $6.72 - Record low and bottoming out
Noble Hierarch $25 - Record low and trending down
| Noble Hierarch | CardKingdom $21.99 | TCGPlayer $25.00 |
| Teferi, Time Raveler | CardKingdom $10.99 | TCGPlayer $12.49 |
| Fabled Passage | CardKingdom $6.99 | TCGPlayer $6.72 |

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!

This week we saw a lot of interesting movement. Most of it caused by Strixhaven spoilers, but the old frame fetchlands spiked as well.

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!

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.

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.

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.

A strange and eventful week in the world of finance. Where you'd expect tons of cards to spike due to new brews, we mainly see a new hausse of reserved list cards being bought out. And also non-reserved list cards that happen to be MTG classics.
