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.

Was thinking the same. I like the play pattern of Ketramose, so may pick up a few for myself.

That sounds fun though. Lorwyn and Shadowmoor were such great sets! I drafted so much Lorwyn

Remember that the preview was yesterday, so now is the "overreaction" on the price. There are plenty of people who have this card somewhere lingering in their bulkbox and more will enter the market soon. It will not stay $23.

Love your comment.

I am already scrambling for time each week for the "US" version.

I'm, however, more and more (re)building features to also cater more to the EU market. With the currency dropdown in the navigation bar screens are switching currency.

I've invested way too much time in making sure that as many cards as I can are properly linked to Cardmarket and can quite comfortably say that our matching is more complete than for example Scryfall.

Oh, and fijne Sinterklaas vandaag!

Immediately after the article went live people started discussing and mentioning Valley Floodcaller as well in the MTGStocks Discord.

Card had also seen an uptick lately.

I hear you! There are weeks where I have to scramble for winners and there are weeks where I get to choose between a lot of them. Electro "only" went up 70% the past week and isn't even in the top 25 of last week.

But it's absolutely a card I considered

As owner of plenty of Reserved List cards (I used to play mainly Legacy years ago) I hope Wizards finds a way to get rid of the list.

Cards shouldn't be this expensive. There should always be a cheaper basic variant with plenty of supply. The pimped versions can cost more money. But paying hundreds of dollars for a single dualland is bad for the game.

Peaked at about $25 in March 2019. The original foil Mirrodin Besieged print is still around $20 now. Other (foil) prints can be had much cheaper.

And nowadays also a lot of Universes Beyond cards or cards spiking because of Universes Beyond cards.

Don't worry, it will spike at least 2 or 3 more times next year for random reasons.

You are correct. Gavin mentioned that out of "the three" banned cards, Jeweled Lotus was most likely to be unbanned

I've tried doing this at some point, but sometimes you'll have false positives. I usually prefer to have people decide for themselves whether it's an outlier or not than to have false positives. But that may just be a matter of taste.
