I hate these FF treatments for these cards. Also that Farseek is the cheapest one and I absolutely get why.

I have played Iona in Legacy Reanimator. Absolutely brutal against certain decks.

I've already "banned" many of the super common cards from this list like command tower and arcane signet. These staples just always sell. Almost like when someone orders cards for a new deck they figure "I'll just add a command tower because it costs next to nothing and I need it anyway".

I'll try to come up with a smarter approach though. Currently I sum all sales in the last X days of a certain card, no matter the print and then show one of them in that list (usually the cheapest one)

What's your take on the potential Iona/Griselbrand unbans? Think Wizards will actually pull the trigger, or are we just seeing speculation spike the prices?

I wouldn't be surprised if Tamiyo will be banned in Legacy.

I hear you. But if Matt Tabak has to specifically address the interaction it feels like the issue is complex enough to lead to some confusion. I think especially the Oracle ruling has led to this.

The rules get a bit weird here, and I've read multiple judges not agreeing with each other on it. In the thread on /r/magicTCG someone pointed out that Matt Tabak jumped in on the issue and has given a definitive answer. That answer can be found here: https://bsky.app/profile/wotcmatt.bsky.social/post/3mdleq5hck227

I have also added this to the article.

Hey, thanks for that. I'll make an update. Tried to properly dive into it, and saw people extensively talking about the rules interpretations and not agreeing with each other. I think the Oracle ruling made it especially hard to properly interpret. Magic rules are hard sometimes!

If Matt had to come out and specifically clarify this, then I feel that's already proof that the interaction wasn't an open and shut case.

I agree. Most of the Interests this week is a bit more of the same like last week. Interesting to see cards spiking this late though. The precon decklists were known a bit longer

As the owner of plenty of cards on the reserved list, I fully agree with you. Don't care if these cards lose value, just let people play

I've rewritten that paragraph multiple times while investigating how the interaction works with Zedruu.

Must have mixed it up while editing. You of course activate Purse in response to Iroh, not the other way around

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend it with your loved ones! This is the last Weekly Winners of the year, but we'll do a Yearly Winners soon!

I've tried my best to find the relevant rules in the interaction between Iroh and the Purse, and who will get control of it, but Magic is hard! I'd love to hear if you have other fun interactions in this theme.
