Welcome to the Magic Market Index. This article series documents the price changes of cards currently in print. This article will track how cards go from release to its time out of Standard, and as long as deemed necessary for non-Standard sets, as well as offer insight into what cards to invest in and what to ignore. The Magic market is a dangerous place, and this article is here to help guide players and speculators through the murky waters to greater returns.
This article will be updated once a week on Thursday. Currently, this article series is tracking Eternal Masters, Dragons of Tarkir, Magic Origins, Battle for Zendikar Block (Oath of the Gatewatch, Battle for Zendikar, Zendikar Expeditions) and Shadows over Innistrad. There are no current plans to track any promo sets, pack foils, or non-set releases. Otherwise, if it can be opened in a pack, it will be covered.
Card prices are picked on Thursday morning from TCGplayer mid price, the price used by many for trading cards for cards. Going by the selling price involves whether to go by Ebay, TCGplayer low, Star City Games, or another vendor. It is just simpler and cleaner to go by the trade value of TCGplayer mid. Comments about cards are the opinions of the author, and should not be taken as facts or divine intervention. That said, comments and predictions are based on data and experience, not on idle speculation or an attempt to move certain cards. Cards that are worth $2.00 USD or more will be on the list. If a card is worth $1.99 or less, it will not appear on the list even if it was on the previous week.

| Nissa, Vastwood Seer | $15.57 | $15.46 | $15.46 | $15.69 | $16.07 | $0.11 | $0.50 | Nissa is seeing a small rise in her latter days. She is a solid card to have. | |||
| Liliana, Heretical Healer | $15.54 | $15.97 | $16.62 | $17.32 | $18.34 | $0.43 | $2.80 | Liliana might see a home in a new deck, so she is worth keeping around. | |||
| Kytheon, Hero of Akros | $10.48 | $10.56 | $10.63 | $10.51 | $10.80 | $0.08 | $0.32 | Keep them until they rotate. The aggressive W/x Humans deck is solid. | |||
| Archangel of Tithes | $6.96 | $7.30 | $7.61 | $8.00 | $8.75 | $0.34 | $1.79 | This angel has paid the price for giving three devotion to white. | |||
| Languish | $6.08 | $6.33 | $6.58 | $6.80 | $7.13 | $0.25 | $1.05 | Still the best sweeper in Standard. | |||
| Pyromancer's Goggles | $5.86 | $6.26 | $7.03 | $7.49 | $8.43 | $0.40 | $2.57 | The deck with this card really burnt out. | |||
| Demonic Pact | $5.25 | $2.12 | $2.24 | $2.31 | $2.40 | $3.13 | $2.85 | Here is the pact. As long as there is a way to cheat on the pact and either negate the loss or give someone else, people will want it. | |||
| Day's Undoing | $4.60 | $4.50 | $4.49 | $4.05 | $3.05 | $0.10 | $1.55 | The Blue Prison deck still tries to exist despite being weak. | |||
| Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh | $4.50 | $4.50 | $4.75 | $4.79 | $4.97 | $0.00 | $0.47 | She never really sparked an interest outside of some side boards. | |||
| Alhammarret's Archive | $4.44 | $4.47 | $4.50 | $4.56 | $4.63 | $0.03 | $0.19 | Still a casual demand card. | |||
| Hangarback Walker | $4.44 | $4.59 | $4.82 | $4.99 | $5.31 | $0.15 | $0.87 | This really dropped after good answer cards were printed. It might see play in older formats. | |||
| Dark Petition | $3.90 | $4.04 | $4.31 | $4.54 | $4.99 | $0.14 | $1.09 | This is still a great rare to keep although its time to shine is coming to an end. | |||
| Knight of the White Orchid | $3.59 | $3.63 | $3.75 | $3.78 | $3.95 | $0.04 | $0.36 | This rare has dropped but is still in demand for human decks. | |||
| Shivan Reef | $2.83 | $2.94 | $3.08 | $3.11 | $3.25 | $0.11 | $0.42 | The only painland left on the list. Keep them and the other painlands. | |||
| Sphinx's Tutelage | $2.80 | $2.92 | $2.99 | $3.00 | $3.02 | $0.12 | $0.22 | This a great uncommon to keep. It is a fun casual and could be competitive in the U/B Mill deck in modern. | |||
| Goblin Piledriver | $2.49 | $2.52 | $2.59 | $2.64 | $2.75 | $0.03 | $0.26 | This card piledrived in value when Goblin Rabblemaster rotated out and never recovered. | |||
| Starfield of Nyx | $2.37 | $2.39 | $2.48 | $2.51 | $2.53 | $0.02 | $0.16 | This card has casual appeal. | |||
| Pia and Kiran Nalaar | $2.29 | $2.38 | $2.49 | $2.52 | $2.69 | $0.09 | $0.40 | The parents are worth keeping around. | |||
| Abbot of Keral Keep | $2.18 | $2.22 | $2.30 | $2.38 | $2.54 | $0.04 | $0.36 | This is waiting for someone to use it red-white humans. | |||
| Infinite Obliteration | $2.17 | $2.28 | $2.42 | $2.48 | $2.57 | $0.11 | $0.40 | Still worth having for Standard. | |||
| Exquisite Firecraft | $2.15 | $2.15 | $2.19 | $2.19 | $2.19 | $0.00 | $0.04 | This was a good burn spell that flamed out with the burn deck. | |||
| Sword of the Animist | $2.15 | $2.18 | $2.18 | $2.19 | $2.23 | $0.03 | $0.08 | Still never made an impact. | |||
| Hallowed Moonlight | $2.00 | $2.00 | $2.04 | $2.06 | $2.12 | $0.00 | $0.12 | Still worth keeping copies of it regardless of its value. |

| Collected Company | $18.99 | $19.49 | $19.99 | $20.88 | $21.72 | $0.50 | $2.73 | Overall, the set is on the way out and people are not realty looking for anything in the set. As a result, most of the cards will be dropping and will drop p and and past its rotation. | |||
| Kolaghan's Command | $11.76 | $12.20 | $12.46 | $12.99 | $13.58 | $0.44 | $1.82 | This Command is still good, but it will need to drop some more, and it will drop. | |||
| Dragonlord Atarka | $10.92 | $11.41 | $11.50 | $11.69 | $11.98 | $0.49 | $1.06 | This will only see play in Cubes. | |||
| Dragonlord Ojutai | $10.70 | $11.39 | $12.54 | $13.08 | $13.74 | $0.69 | $3.04 | This is worth looking into, as it just needs a good Modern to make it great again. | |||
| Narset Transcendent | $9.91 | $10.00 | $10.40 | $10.70 | $10.93 | $0.09 | $1.02 | No set for Narset. | |||
| Secure the Wastes | $7.65 | $8.17 | $8.75 | $9.13 | $9.78 | $0.52 | $2.13 | This card is slowly wasting away, like the other cards int his set. | |||
| Atarka's Command | $6.90 | $7.13 | $7.37 | $7.51 | $7.90 | $0.23 | $1.00 | This command looks like it will be around four dollars at the end. | |||
| Dragonlord Silumgar | $6.77 | $7.10 | $7.08 | $7.33 | $7.46 | $0.33 | $0.69 | The blue-black dragon is not really taking much value today. | |||
| Dragonlord Dromoka | $5.94 | $6.00 | $6.20 | $6.30 | $6.57 | $0.06 | $0.63 | This could see play in older formats, so it is worth keeping some. | |||
| Sarkhan Unbroken | $5.20 | $5.27 | $5.30 | $5.37 | $5.42 | $0.07 | $0.22 | Hopefully there is a Oath of the Gatewatch deck that will cast you, Sarkhan. | |||
| Dromoka's Command | $4.04 | $4.04 | $4.14 | $4.13 | $4.21 | $0.00 | $0.17 | This rare should be kept until it rotates, and it might even be worth keeping then. | |||
| Dragonlord Kolaghan | $3.98 | $4.04 | $4.04 | $4.00 | $4.04 | $0.06 | $0.06 | This has potentiality in older formats. | |||
| Deathmist Raptor | $3.91 | $4.24 | $4.50 | $4.58 | $5.10 | $0.33 | $1.19 | This old favorite is still in a position to come back. And back... | |||
| Risen Executioner | $3.89 | $3.68 | $3.75 | $3.82 | $3.99 | $0.21 | $0.10 | This might see some play, but it is not a great card to invest in. The B/R Vampire deck was heralded as the best deck going in to Shadows over Innistrad and failed to ever crack top 8 for any major event. | |||
| Sidisi, Undead Vizier | $3.31 | $3.35 | $3.34 | $3.35 | $3.40 | $0.04 | $0.09 | Casual demand is casually demanding. | |||
| Den Protector | $3.05 | $3.21 | $3.35 | $3.50 | $3.75 | $0.16 | $0.70 | This card will be a fine Standard card and that is all. | |||
| Shaman of Forgotten Ways | $2.64 | $2.73 | $2.75 | $2.84 | $2.85 | $0.09 | $0.21 | This cards needs to be forgotten about. | |||
| Descent of the Dragons | $2.28 | $2.25 | $2.24 | $2.24 | $2.23 | $0.03 | $0.05 | Casual demand is casually demanding. | |||
| Thunderbreak Regent | $2.15 | $2.26 | $2.37 | $2.46 | $2.60 | $0.11 | $0.45 | This card kind of fell off the map. Hopefully U/R Flyers picks up in the latter days of this card's time in Standard. | |||
| Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit | $2.02 | $2.07 | $2.11 | $2.18 | $2.25 | $0.05 | $0.23 | This is a good Modern card for the Abzan Company deck. |

Expeditions are still worth money, but are not worth going after unless you have a specific desire for them. These are luxury items and not always in demand. Demand is the key attribute. If a card is listed as being worth hundreds of dollars, but one one wants it, it is not worth hundreds of dollars.
[card]Ancient Tomb[card] is moving up due to the the overall increase in the cards value, not anything special in the Expedition version. |

Overall Summary
The state of the Magic market is healthy.
Eldritich Moon has provided more interesting cards since the last set and breathed new life into some cards like Demonic Pact and Triskaidekaphobia. Here is a list of some of the cards to look in to. A full review will be done this once the set is officially spoiled.
Standard is gearing up for the change that the new set is providing. Currently, there are not a lot of cards that are radically going to change the meta, This will be more explored the set set is fully spoiled and people comb over the cards. The review will have the picks to mostly like have some value and which one to avoid.
Eternal Masters is losing value with the cards that don't see competitive play and/or have been reprinted a lot. Naturally, Force of Will is the most expensive card in the set.
Cards to Watch
Previously, these were predicted to spike:
Tireless Tracker: It went up slightly. This is a sign.
Thalia's Lieutenant: It went out.
This week:
None.
Cards to Avoid
Previously, these were predicted to fall:
Risen Executioner: This went up due to the new Zombie support released since last week
Relentless Dead: Well, it spiked hard. This spike will go down, but it did spike.
This week:
Triskaidekaphobia: That deck with Tree of Perdition is interesting, but not good.
Demonic Pact:This deck is not good, but it is cute, just like Harmless Offer.
