MTG x PlayStation Almost Fixed Secret Lair’s Fatal Flaw

Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter | Secret Lair

At this point, the problems with Secret Lair drops are well known. Even ignoring the often stingy reprint selection and dubious themes, the real issue is accessibility. Time and time again, we’ve seen exciting Secret Lair drops sell out in hours. This alone would be frustrating, but technical constraints and hours-long queues make it unacceptable. […]

MTG The One Ring Replacement Spikes 560% in Price

Insight Engine

Last week, many MTG players, including ourselves, cottoned on to the fact that Insight Engine is actually quite good. Far beyond just being useful in some niche Commander decks, this card feels like a retrain of an overpowered icon. Admittedly, while this card follows in The One Ring’s footsteps, it is missing a few key […]

Teased $60 Phyrexian Altar Reprint Is Concerningly Good

Secret Lair Phyrexian Altar Tease

Recently, Wizards of the Coast has rather worryingly been taking away suitable sources for reprints. Masters Sets have gone the way of the dodo, and bonus sheets are getting rarer and rarer nowadays. Sadly, this leaves Secret Lair drops as one of the few remaining avenues for non-Standard legal reprints, which isn’t ideal. Since Secret […]

MTG Assassin’s Creed Legend Spikes 278% Thanks to God of War Synergies

Thanks to a series of recent reveals, a handful of underrated EDH tools have risen in price thanks to their synergies with new Universes Beyond cards. The popularity of Anti-Venom caused multiple spikes, and the reveal of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles caused a surge in demand for Taeko, the Patient Avalanche. Now, it appears […]

MTG Secret Lair Delay Ruins Limited-Run Printing’s One Upside

Delay | Secret Lair

Despite the immense excitement that Secret Lair products create, they remain incredibly controversial. Since Magic decided to move Secret Lairs to limited print run products, they’ve both sold extremely well and have been difficult to get a hold of. This has consistently caused complaints, especially as scalpers have ruined sales time and time again. Despite […]

MTG Avatar Bonus Sheet Reveals $17 Kill Combo Reprint

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle | Magic Online Promos

Next week, the spoiler season for MTG Avatar: The Last Airbender will finally begin. While the set doesn’t have Commander decks, between the main set and the bonus sheet, there’s bound to be tons to enjoy. From what we’ve seen so far, in fact, all aspects of this set look fantastic, with fitting flavor and […]

Spider Man Legend Spikes 214% Thanks to Elite Standard Synergies

At the moment, Standard is far from being in an ideal position thanks to the continued dominance of Izzet Cauldron and Mono-Red Aggro. Things are so bad that some local stores are having trouble even firing Standard Regional Championship Qualifier events due to the lack of interest in the format. That being said, there has […]

Anti-Meta MTG Bloomburrow Rat Steadily Spikes 397% in Price

Azure Beastbinder

It’s no secret that the Standard MTG format isn’t in the best spot right now. Vivi Cauldron is still ruling the roost, leaving many players waiting on November’s ban announcement. According to Wizards, this announcement is now expected to hit multiple cards, so the meta should be in for a significant shake-up. Sadly, until then, […]

Underrated MTG Land Sees 218% Spike Thanks to Rogue Strategy

Preconstructed Commander decks are some of the most highly anticipated releases alongside a new MTG set. While the ten mechanically unique eternal legal cards often dictate what many players will be building for months to come, they can occasionally impact formats beyond Commander. These cards weren’t built to mix up formats like Legacy and Vintage, […]

Forgotten 27-Year Old Rare Spikes 238% Thanks to Breakout Commander

For a long time, MTG Spider Man wasn’t making any real waves in the MTG finance market. Some cards are making some semi-relevant competitive breakouts, but between Commander and two-player formats, no Spider Man cards are completely changing the scene. The only Spider Man card that is causing a larger series of financial trends is […]
