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. Currently, this article series is tracking Battle for Zendikar Block (Oath of the Gatewatch, Battle for Zendikar, and Zendikar Expeditions), Shadows over Innistrad Block (Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon) and the Kaladesh Block (Aether Revolt, Kaladesh, and Kaladesh Inventions). 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.
The Magic Market Index is a collaborative effort between the MTGSalvation staff. This week's edition is brought to you by technical administrator Feyd_Ruin.

Overview
Again, there were very little direct changes here from the recent Amonkhet spoilers. At most, focus was diverted away and Kaladesh and a few cards suffered for it.
The top gearhulk duo both saw large drops for another week. Saheeli fully joined them this week. With these three cards holding over 13% of the set's value, their fall represented half of Kaladesh's devaluation this week.

Overview
Inventions saw quite an impressive week of growth, given that it should still be trending down at this time. Many players have been holding off investing into an invention, waiting to see what other possibilities Amonket's invocation series brought. However, the widespread distaste for the invocation frame has convinced many to instead go for the invention. Even investors are taking another strong look at Inventions.

Overview
Splendid Reclamation was this week's largest winner, quadrupling in price in less then a week. It owes this impressive feat to the recent spoiling of Amonkhet's cycling lands. The interaction here is obvious: spam cycle lands and use Splendid Reclamation to get them back. Be mindful of any investment here, however, as this spike is mostly the result of speculation and hope. Whether it will climb more or fall back into obscurity will depend on whether an actual deck materializes.

Overview
Shadows over Innistrad saw more cuts off the top, but it's overall price depreciated less than in previous weeks. With the marquee cards continuing to fall, and no masterpiece series to fall back on, Shadows has the lowest booster box estimated value in standard. It still offers a safer return than Battle for Zendkar, but it will average less because of the price that BFZ's expeditions might bring.

Overview
Another week of no action in the Oath of the Gatewatch set. Nothing exciting has happened since Nissa spiked after Kaladesh. It'll take another such development for Oath to see anything noteworthy.

Overview
It would be a fool's hope that Amonkhet could add anything to help redeem Battle for Zendikar. This set's value rests in it's expeditions. Averaging over $80, they represent almost a third of the average value within Battle's booster boxes. Being able to make a profit is completely reliant on hitting an expedition. Even then, getting one of the lesser expeditions might only let you break even.

Overall Summary
We've seen the first real price impact from Amonkhet, with Splendid Reclamation quadrupling in price. All it takes is one card to make another spike, so watch the spoilers with a careful eye. If you get in the ground floor of a massive spike, you can truly realize some true gain. Perhaps a land cycling deck will materialize, making Splended Reclamation spike more and putting the Gitrog Monster back into our tables. Maybe Aether Revolt's Dark Intimations will actually post a noticeable gain once we see the actual Bolas planeswalker. This is the time to watch like a hawk and take risks if you're willing.
