Finance Update w/ Saffron Olive |
|
While the biggest finance news of the week will come tomorrow with the Banned and Restricted announcement that will determine just how much play Rivals of Ixalan will see in Standard, we already have some big Rivals of Ixalan news trickling out over prerelease weekend. The biggest winners from the set are Rekindling Phoenix and Ravenous Chupacabra, both of which more than doubled in price over the past week based primarily on Standard hype. Rekindling Phoenix is really hard to kill and Ravenous Chupacabra is good at killing things. Whether this translates into real play and sustained high prices will mostly depend on what happens with Energy tomorrow.
On Magic Online, Rivals of Ixalan had a one-day prerelease event from Thursday to Friday, and then events went dark until Monday (and with them the new supply of Rivals of Ixalan cards). The end result is that many Rivals of Ixalan cards are extremely expensive at the moment (with the EV of a pack being about 3.5 tix, which is somewhere between six to ten times a typical Standard booster pack). If you have any Rivals of Ixalan cards in your collection, sell them right now. Prices will drop quickly once events start up against at 1pm EST on Monday. If you are looking to build new Standard or Modern decks, wait until the middle of the week for prices to drop and you'll save a significant number of tix.
Finally, much of the big Modern news is tied to Rivals of Ixalan as well. Both Pyrohemia (which combos with Polyraptor) and Resplendent Mentor (which combos with Famished Paladin) spiked this week, which means it's time to dig through your bulk and see if you can find any copies to sell into the hype.
