Bizarre MTG Fast Mana Card Sees 316.6% Price Spike

The Enigma Jewel has a ton of potential, but the card has gone forgotten for the most part. Any card resembling Sol Ring, Commander’s most powerful card, can warp formats. Unfortunately, only being able to use that mana for abilities makes The Enigma Jewel a bit of an enigma to use effectively, at least, until […]

MTG Card Repurposed as Top Secret Discard Counter

Most MTG cards have obvious usages. Every card is designed to synergize well in certain formats, or with other cards. Occasionally, players will find a way to use a card for something outside its apparent purpose. These bizarre usages can give an MTG card new life, and commonly lead to a card becoming very powerful. […]

27-Year-Old Draw Spell Spikes 1163% Due to Bizarre Modern Deck

Goblin Lore

The Modern format is a bit of a weird one that’s both somewhat stale and immensely creative at the same time. At the top, it’s common to see just a handful of decks ruling the roost, with little else that can touch them. Lower down the competitive order, however, things get really weird really fast. […]

Former Standard Staple Spikes 673% Following Aetherdrift Resurgence

Raffine, Scheming Seer

In its heyday, Raffine, Scheming Seer was an absolute monster of an MTG card. Empowering the titular Esper Raffine archetype, this card completely dominated Standard into becoming a bland midrange soup. Thankfully, Raffine rotated out last year, so we haven’t had to deal with their antics for some time. While Raffine was most popular in […]

MTG Aetherdrift Draw Spell Spikes 1857% After Pro Tour Win

Stock Up MTG

Pro Tour Aetherdrift turned out to be quite a surprising turn of events. Rather than Esper Pixie running rampant, Domain Overlords stole the show, winning the event in the hands of Matt Mass. While this was already quite a surprise the impact of new Aetherdrift cards was even more remarkable. Within the winning list from […]

23-Year-Old Common MTG Imp Spikes 1293% Due to Discarding

Putrid Imp

Since the moment it was first revealed, MTG players have been concerned about the aesthetics of Aetherdrift. Unsurprisingly, not every MTG player was too pleased about the card games on motorcycles-ification of Magic. Despite these concerns, there’s no denying that Aetherdrift is packed with powerful and exciting new cards. While Aetherdrift has fuelled no end […]

Strange Pro Tour Appearance Creates 210% MTG Card Price Spike

Goblins are back and better than ever! One of the most beloved typal decks in the MTG community got massive support from MTG Foundations, but Aetherdrift seems to have finally allowed the archetype to be competitively viable again. Howlsquad Heavy was the final push that Goblins needed to make a Standard appearance, but it’s not […]

New Most Expensive MTG Big Score Card Hits $50

Simulacrum Synthesizer

Considering it was half-scrapped and forced into another set, The Big Score has been rather successful. While not every card is a winner, many of the set’s 30 mythics have seen extensive competitive and casual play. For the longest time, Vaultborn Tyrant was the cream of the crop, being a true Commander all-star. More recently, […]
