Unassuming MTG Flicker Cantrip Spikes 571% Due to Dubious Dominance

Splash Portal

Between the recent bans and release of MTG Avatar, the Standard metagame has been in a state of constant flux. We’ve seen new, seemingly ban-worthy decks rise up repeatedly, only to be beaten by a new innovation. Remarkably, given the sheer volume of games being played digitally, the Standard metagame still hasn’t been solved just […]

26-Year-Old Artifact Spikes 1232% In Price Thanks to New Infinite Combo

MTG Caltrops

Yesterday, Wizards of the Coast gave us a surprisingly in-depth look at the MTG Marvel Superheroes set. It might be over six months from being released, but that didn’t stop Wizards from showing off 18 cards. Unsurprisingly, some of these cards are pretty powerful, especially in Commander. Bruce Banner // The Incredible Hulk, in particular, […]

Izzet Lessons MTG Deck Pushes Aetherdrift Discard Wincon to $21

MTG Monument to Endurance

It’s no secret that Izzet Lessons is the hot new MTG deck right now. While it was slowly picking up steam after MTG Avatar’s release, it properly broke out at Magic World Championship 31.

Standard Super Staple Spikes 993% After MTG World Championship Win

Stormchaser's Talent

When the meta breakdown for the MTG World Championship 31 was revealed, the meta looked surprisingly healthy. Considering Standard has been struggling for a long while, this change was definitely a breath of fresh air.

Throughout 2025, the MTG Standard format has been really going through it. We’ve had ban-worthy menaces cropping up one after the other, effectively ruining the format. Not only did this diminish competitive event attendance, but hope for the format’s future had all but gone out. Thankfully, in the past few weeks, it seems Wizards of […]

It’s certainly no secret that the MTG Final Fantasy set was a smash hit success. Upon release, this set immediately broke sales records, and it has continued to perform well after the fact.

MTG Avatar Uncommon Spikes 1938% in Price After Attaining Staple Status

Boomerang Basics Price Spike

For better or worse, it seems MTG Avatar has no shortage of expensive cards. Some of the set’s best cards are selling for around $70 a copy right now, which is obscene. Unfortunately for budget-conscious players, this card, Badgermole Cub, is a cornerstone of multiple archetypes in Standard right now. As if this format wasn’t […]

Universes Beyond Cards Cause 514% Price Spike to Mythic MTG Mana Machine

Neheb, the Eternal

Despite being surprisingly dormant throughout MTG Avatar’s spoiler season, the MTG financial markets have come alive after its release. Curiously, despite Earthbending and Airbending cards being dominant in competitive formats, Commander is all about Firebending. High-power Commanders like Fire Lord Azula and Fire Lord Zuko have fittingly been on a hot streak in this format. […]

Flashy MTG Fish Sees 431% Price Spike Thanks to Dominant Copy Engine

MTG Tidal Barracuda

At this point, it’s far from a secret that Fire Lord Azula is one of the best Commanders from MTG Avatar. Her spell-doubling Firebending antics are well established by now, and she’s already caused all manner of price spikes. Unsurprisingly, since she’s the most popular MTG Avatar Commander, these price spikes don’t seem to be […]
