Rivals saw quite a bit of movement this week, and the number of small jumps both up and down make it difficult to see a trend. Overall, our sets are making a quick snap towards the new Standard meta, and there's a lot of movement to look at. A Pro Tour hits the market fast and hard, and this is the pre-game shakeup.

Just like Rivals, Ixalan saw innumerable spikes and dips as unused stock is quickly sold to gobble up the key cards for new and adjusted decks. Two cards had major gains, and their reasons are directly related to the meta's love for planeswalkers: Vraska's Contempt is the new king of spot removal, and Sorcerous Spyglass can answer them in any color.

Although Razaketh, the Foulblooded has made it into some random rogue Standard lists, his gains are directly from use in Commander and especially Brawl. He is both a strong monoblack commander, and a game winning champion in any BX deck.
Mirage Mirror rises again this week, but I wouldn't expect much more gain unless Powerstone Shard has a Pro Tour presence or otherwise becomes a mainstream contender.

The overall growth is on track for how we've been heading and fully expected. Interestingly, many cards saw no movement this week because not a single aggregated sale was made. It's simply a focus on competitive Standard this week that is to blame here, and by no means a prelude to lost interest.

The drop on Walking Ballista is unexpected. Ballista is still one of the most used cards in Standard, with an inclusion in roughly 40% of the decks in our current meta. Although this is slightly down from last week, where it was undeniably number one wherever you looked, it's still an extremely high presence that fully warrants its previous price. I find it hard to believe the price won't bounce back.

Kaladesh has the same up and down chaos of many Standard sets this week, although more muted. After a year and half since its release, it's much harder for the set to see mass movement. Kaladesh only has a few more months in Standard, so we shouldn't be looking for any surprises here.

Lots of upticks here. Unlike its parent set, Inventions will have little care for Standard's coming rotation. While most sets start dropping in value as soon as rotation hits, with only the few eternal gems maintaining their value, Inventions will absolutely continue to grow over time. Many of the cards here will never have a superior card replacement, and it's unlikely we'll see a new printing as iconic and coveted as these.
Overall Summary
Pro Tour Dominaria hits this weekend, and we very well may have some shakeup in next week's prices. The best of the best have taken a long look at the format and meta, and their judgement is always echoed throughout local stores the world over. Any of our sets could have a sleeper that comes out of nowhere this weekend. So if you're looking for a quick flip, keep your eyes on the top decks of this Pro Tour for anything unexpected.
