Run Wild - 03/18/2013

Hey everyone and welcome to City of Traders!

Folks, I'm not going to lie, tonight I'm tired.  Really, really tired.  I've got to get up early tomorrow and since no one is paying me to write this blog, I'm gonna take a night off.  :D

I know you won't mind.

But fret not everyone, I'm still going to give you what you're really here for; the price trends of the Magic cards currently in Standard (not that you don't enjoy my colorful commentary).  So here is the raw data, and some brief highlights for your enjoyment.  Don't miss these as some of these cards are poised to skyrocket!

GATECRASH
All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com a the given date
TRENDING UP

Assemble the Legion $1.48 (+0.18)

Crypt Ghast $3.00 (+0.13)

Prime Speaker Zegana $8.98 (+0.98):  At the height of all the hype Zegana was a $14.33 card, if she continues to see play and her prices continues to go up, she could easily be a $15+ card.  Get in now if you expect her to go up.

TRENDING DOWN

There are quite of few high dollar Rares/Mythics that have been steadily declining in price.  This is true for each set, and rather than say this same thing over and over 6 times, I recommend checking the chart and moving out accordingly depending on which set you are looking at.

RETURN TO RAVNICA
All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com a the given date
TRENDING UP
Abrupt Decay $7.48 (+0.39)

Angel of Serenity $9.00 (+1.05)

Rakdos's Return $5.15 (+0.15):  I'm expecting this card to blow up, it's been sitting on the cusp now for a while so grab some copies now while it is still cheap.

Sphinx's Revelation $20.99 (+1.05)

AVACYN RESTORED
All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com a the given date
TRENDING UP

Griselbrand $11.99 (+0.83):  Since The Grisely One is the only card moving up this week in AVR I thought I would say a little something.  Despite being banned in Commander, Griselbrand is seeing play in Standard and Legacy, so it probably wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on his price before getting rid of any of your copies.

DARK ASCENSION
All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com a the given date
TRENDING UP

Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

INNISTRAD
All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com a the given date
TRENDING UP

Kessig Wolf Run $2.62 (+0.14)

Liliana of the Veil $37.42 (+3.42):  Surprise, an all star multi-format Mythic is going up in price!  Just keep in mind, Lili was a $70 walker at one point.  I'm not saying we will see numbers that high again, but hey, it could happen.

MAGIC 2013
All prices are mid on tcgplayer.com at the given date
TRENDING UP

Akroma's Memorial $5.97 (+0.35)

Mutilate $3.21 (+0.16)

Omniscience $7.26 (+0.27):  While I appreciate the fact that this card's price is finally reflecting its power level, I am cautious to recommend investing too heavily because I feel that if this card were to be banned in Commander, its price would drop fairly steeply.  That having been said, if you don't share my sentiments, then by all means hop on this train before it completely leaves the station.

That just about wraps it up for this week folks.  I appreciate you letting me slack a bit this week, but at the same time, don't use this as an excuse to stop reading.  If you find this blog this blog helpful, keep sharing it with anyone you think may benefit from it and I will continue writing it.  Thanks again for reading, and as always Never Stop Trading.
