AI-generated market intelligence across MTG formats
10 cards showing synchronized 18-19% gains suggests broad market liquidity rather than a format-specific catalyst. Range includes utility lands, mana dorks, and mythic legends across multiple sets and formats.
Thoughtseize, a staple in Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, has a meaningful spread across its 8 priced printings. The Breaking News (OTP) printing at $5.12 is the cheapest available, undercutting Theros ($5.52), Iconic Masters ($5.81), and Double Masters ($6.61) by 8-29%. For a card that sees heavy competitive play across multiple formats, the OTP printing represents the best entry point. The original Lorwyn printing commands a 3x premium at $16.11, driven by collectibility and lower print run.
Smothering Tithe shows an unusual pricing anomaly: foil copies are cheaper than non-foil in multiple printings. Ravnica Allegiance foil ($44.08) is 15% cheaper than non-foil ($52.11). Double Masters 2022 foil ($45.14) is 10% cheaper than non-foil ($50.42). This inversion on a $50+ Commander staple with 13 printings suggests foil supply from collector boosters has outpaced demand while non-foil supply remains tighter. The RNA Promos printing at $44.58 non-foil is the cheapest entry point.
Fatal Push, one of Modern and Pioneer's most-played removal spells, has a 57% price spread between printings. The Assassin's Creed (ACR) printing at $0.40 is the cheapest ever, while the original Aether Revolt (AER) sits at $0.63 and Double Masters at $0.91. All three are functionally identical. Players buying AER or 2XM copies are overpaying for one of the format's most essential cards.
