Hour of Devastation (up to $8.50 now): I think that not only does this keep Crested Sunmare decks in check, it’s going to define the Standard format quite well. The preorder price has proven sticky, and that’s a relatively rare feat. We haven’t had a Modern event where it makes waves yet, but it’s another combo piece that’s hard to deal with. Solemnity (Still about $5): I’m actually very impressed at the price stability of this card. If there’s anything going on with graveyards in the next couple sets, this could spike again, though likely not above $5 or $6, even in a year.Ĭrested Sunmare (now at $5, up from $3.50): Yes, it’s fun to do silly things with this card, and there will always be people trying to make something like this work, but I’m going to blame this bump on the streaming effect and move on. So far it’s only shown up in this one style of deck, but it might keep this price. The card fits very well into Emerge, and is showing a healthy bump due to helping two different players make the top 8 last weekend. I was comfortable getting my fifty cents, and I’d be comfortable getting $3 on a buylist right now.Ĭhampion of Wits (up to $3 from about $0.75): This is what an on-camera spike looks like. I reserve the right to be shocked, but buylists are taking this at $3 right now and I don’t even know what to say.Īre we witnessing mass speculation at work? Are we seeing what happens when literally every FNM player decides to play the same wonky deck? I don’t know. There are going to be lots and lots and lots of this card out there. It was 2005, so it couldn’t have been too pricey? Every other card with a similar focus got cheap and stayed there for a while, though I honestly don’t recall how cheap Glimpse the Unthinkable got to. This level of interest is pretty unique, and I don’t know who is buying this at $4. I can see no shortage of people posting decks that might be good with it, and Startled Awake is riding a big bump because people want to mill 26 cards, but the card hasn’t gotten there yet. I cannot find records of a mill deck getting there in an event or even on a stream so far. ![]() ![]() I was heavily dismissive of the card, I sold one for fifty cents on Cardsphere on prerelease weekend, and I told you to dump it at $2 a week ago after it had gone up from $1. People can’t get enough of it right now! It’s astounding, even though I know full well how popular mill cards are with the casual set. ![]() ![]() On to the biggest gainer of the set so far, a card no one predicted would be selling for $4-$5 on eBay a week after release…įraying Sanity (up to $5 now, from a low of about $1 in prerelease season): So far, I’m super wrong about this card. This led to some impressively low pre-order prices, and starting out that low has put more cards than usual on an upward trajectory. Something to note that’s a bit different about this set, as opposed to most other sets that have come out in the past few years: This set was regarded to be a little clunky when it was first revealed to the world, a bit underpowered as compared to what was already legal for us to play in Standard. I want to go over a few with you today and see what these trajectories tell us. We’ve had one weekend of Hour of Devastation being legal for Standard, and there are some cards at surprising prices. ![]()
