Tonight I'm going to present the data in the usual fashion, and luckily I have a fairly comprehensive bit of analysis to go with said data. That having been said, let's dig in!
GATECRASH
 |
| All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com at the given date |
Blind Obedience $6.57 (+1.01): Need to slow down aggro? Look no further.
Boros Reckoner $25.75 (+8.23): Need to aggro your opponents face off? He's your minotaur. I wouldn't bother investing now, however if his price peaks soon, cash in on any you've acquired on the cheap.
Gyre Sage $4.84 (+3.15): Turns out mana ramp is good (who knew?) and this card happens to combo well with Blessings of Nature. Probably not going to move up much more, but keep an eye out.
Sacred Foundry $14.33 (+0.56) and Stomping Ground $14.03 (+0.81): The two popular colors are getting all of the love. Pick these up now unless you want to pay $16+ a piece in a week or so.
TRENDING DOWN:
Just a comment, there is a lot of red on that worksheet (hype is wearing off). If you have one of the cards whose price is dropping steadily and can cash in, I recommend doing so.
RETURN TO RAVNICA
 |
| All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com at the given date |
Abrupt Decay $6.45 (+0.20): Not much to see here, but if Reckoner is the new it card, why not run a card that shuts it down handily.
Ash Zealot $4.58 (+0.47): If this growth keeps up at $+0.50 a week, then we could easily see this card at $6+ dollars.
Mizzium Mortars $2.36 (+0.26): Removal is good.
Rakdos's Return $5.34 (+0.07): I know this is only up a few pennies, but . . . remember that one time that Sphinx's Revelation blew up over night? Yeah, that could happen again here because this card is a beating against so many decks. Invest accordingly.
Sphinx's Revelation $17.29 (+0.90): It was moving down, but it appears to be headed up again. You may want to hold onto yours before you bail and see what happens.
Supreme Verdict $4.05 (+0.21): If you can't damage a creature to kill it, why not just blow it up? We could be seeing a new breed of control deck evolving, and this card is going to be at the center of it.
TRENDING DOWN:
The main offenders here are Mythics that have seen less and less play as of late. Trade out accordingly.
AVACYN RESTORED
 |
| All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com at the given date |
Cavern of Souls $25.84 (+0.76): This card is never going to be less than $20, and that makes it a great card to trade into. In other words, if you have cards that are moving down in price, trade them into copies of Cavern in order to keep your collections value stable.
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight $8.40 (+0.73): Commander and Standard appeal make this card a fine pick up, even at this price. I could easily see this card's price reaching $10-$12 in the near future.
Gloom Surgeon $0.41 (+0.08): Uhhh, not sure what's going on here. Any thoughts.
Griselbrand $9.75 (+0.29): Now with 100% more bran(d)!
Restoration Angel $16.59 (+1.01): I've said it before, I'll say it again, this card's splashability makes it an all star. Look for its price to continue upward from here.
Silverblade Paladin $10.63 (+0.37): Despite this card's appearance in the Event Deck, its price is continuing to trend up. I suppose giving any creature double strike really is that good.
Zealous Conscripts $2.54 (+0.11): This card is never going to be super expensive, but every little bit helps, and this one is trending up.
TRENDING DOWN;
Once again, the main offenders here are high dollar Mythics that aren't seeing as much play anymore. Trade out of these cards if you think their price is going to keep dropping (or trade into them if you think they are going to swing back up).
DARK ASCENSION
 |
| All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com at the given date |
Falkenrath Aristocrat $18.84 (+0.92): It's funny what a 1st place finish at a Pro Tour can do to a card's price, especially when the winning deck was running four copies of said card. This will easily hit $20+ again, keep an eye out and see how far it goes and then sell your accordingly.
Hellrider $14.81 (+3.39): Once again, Hellrider puts up solid growth. As with Falkenrath, hold onto your copies and then trade/sell accordingly once it peaks.
Huntmaster of the Fells $33.53 (+2.66): This card's price is going to continue to go up due to a) it being awesome, b) it being a Mythic, and c) it being an awesome Mythic that people are playing in multiple formats. Don't trade yours yet, wait and see where this one ends up.
TRENDING DOWN
Not much to see here. Just look for the big red horizontal lines.
INNISTRAD
 |
| All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com at the given date |
Blasphemous Act $2.37 (+1.35): No surprise here. Dealing 13 damage to your opponent as you wipe the board seems like a good plan, however, I don't think this is going to go up too much more.
Champion of the Parish $5.98 (+0.37): Remember that thing I said about Falkenrath Aristocrat? Yeah, that applies here.
Clifftop Retreat $15.18 (+0.87): I think Red and White have locked in their spot as standard power players and this cards movement solidifies that.
Geist of Saint Traft $28.15 (+0.62): Just because he's down for a while, doesn't mean Geist is out. This is one of the better times to invest in this now while it is under $30.
Isolated Chapel $12.20 (+0.79)
Kessig Wolf Run $1.9+ (+0.10)
Liliana of the Veil $30.12 (+3.83): Lili is a Modern powerhouse and she showed up in both of the Jund Midrange decks in the top 8 of this past week's Pro Tour. This card has the potential to command a high price tag and I predict it will do just that again.
Nephalia Drownyard $0.84 (+0.13): Probably nothing going on here, but I like to be thorough.
Skirsdag High Priest $+0.65 (+0.10): This card was a 3 of in a 1st place finish deck, that probably won't make it jump in price, but it is a good thing to know.
Stromkirk Noble $4.68 (+0.47)
TRENDING DOWN
N/A
M13
 |
| All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com at the given date |
Akroma's Memorial $5.28 (+0.15)
Primordial Hydra $5.73 (+0.39): +1/+1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 apparently equals 5.73 (and trample)
Rhox Faithmender $4.23 (+0.18): Life gain does stop you from losing to your opponent's extraordinarily fast deck and no one does it better at 4 mana than the Rhox.
TRENDING DOWN:
Ajani, Caller of the Pride $10.36 (-0.25): I had high hopes Ajani would see play post gatecrash, but I suppose not all dreams come true.
Sublime Archangel $20.57 (-1.10): Bail on your copies now before you can't get $20 for them any more.
Thragtusk $15.47 (-0.58): OH how the mighty have fallen.
Thundermaw Hellkite $33.31 (-0.72): Trade out of this asap, if not sooner.
That just about wraps it up for this evening. I just want to say thanks to everyone who has been reading this every week and I really want each of you to know how much your continued interest and support means to me. I would like to ask a favor of any one currently reading (and enjoying) this blog. The favor is simple. Share this blog with two people you know who play Magic, either via word of mouth, sharing the link on Facebook, or sending a link via email. I would be very grateful and appreciative.
That is it for this week. Thanks for reading, and until next time I hope your games are great and that your trades are awesome!
Kyle
