It's a wild week in the world of Magic: The Gathering, folks! The arrival of Lorwyn Eclipsed has shaken up the secondary market, and if you're not paying attention, you could be missing out on some serious gains – or losses! As always, the fervor around new set releases brings waves of price fluctuations, and this time is no exception, especially with players scrambling to optimize those preconstructed decks.
Magic: The Gathering Prices EXPLODE! Biggest Winne...
Let's dive into the biggest climbers and crashers, armed with data from TCGplayer. It’s fascinating to watch these trends unfold, and honestly, a little addictive to track.
While everyone's buzzing about the Blight Curse precon, the Spider-Man Land is quietly becoming a popular choice for spicing up the Dance of the Elements deck. And speaking of lands, Multiversal Passage – a card that can transform into any basic land – has shot up to around $10. This card was practically a bargain bin find just weeks ago! Talk about an overnight success story. It's the kind of card that makes you slap your forehead and say, "Why didn't I buy a playset earlier?" A very obvious upgrade for those precons.
Card draw is always king in Magic, and this week, a particular card that triggers card draw with any counter has rocketed to $12. Again, almost overnight! See, this is why you keep an eye on these things. You never know when a seemingly unassuming card will suddenly become a must-have.
Now, let's tap into that sweet, sweet nostalgia. The original Lorwyn set holds a special place in many players' hearts, and that's definitely contributing to the current demand for Bitterbloom Bearer, a Faerie card. One variant is already commanding top dollar, while the base version is sitting pretty at around $26. Guess those Faerie decks are still kicking!
Stepping outside of the new set for a moment, Pandemonium, a classic from Exodus that dishes out damage when creatures enter the battlefield, has spiked to around $14. Old cards can still be relevant, which is a great thing.
And if you're looking to ramp up your Landfall game, Icetill Explorer from Edge of Eternities is currently hovering around $20. Extra land drops each turn *and* the ability to play lands from your graveyard? Yes, please!
Lorwyn Eclipsed might be light on vampires (only one, apparently!), but that begs the question: where does that leave Edgar Markov in the current market? Worth keeping an eye on, for sure.
On the "still surprisingly affordable" front, Ragost, Deft Gastronaut, the Lobster that turns Artifacts into Foods, is clinging to its sub-$1 price tag despite recent upward pressure. A fun card for a fun deck, so maybe scoop a few up while you can.
Then there's Sire of Seven Deaths, the 7/7 behemoth with, well, *everything* (First Strike, Vigilance, Menace, Trample, Reach, Lifelink, and Ward – 7 Life). All that for around $19? Seems like a fair price for a creature that can pretty much do it all.
Finally, let's talk about a card that's heading south: Atraxa, Grand Unifier, is currently priced around $11, a noticeable drop from where it's been the last few months. Maybe the hype has cooled, or maybe people are moving on to newer shiny things. Either way, it's something to consider if you've been waiting to snag a copy.
