The Running Tally of Current Sets for July 31, 2015

 

The Running Tally

This article series documents the price changes of cards in print. We will track how cards go from release to its time out of print. We're currently tracking nine sets: Theros Block (Theros, Born of the Gods, and Journey into Nyx), Khans of Tarkir Block (Khans of Tarkir, Fate Reforged, and Dragons of Tarkir), Magic 2015, Magic Origins, and Modern Masters 2015 Edition. A Standard set runs as long as it's Standard-legal, whereas non-Standard sets will be run as for as long as deemed necessary.

 

This will be updated every Monday and Friday. The Monday update will follow the Magic events on the weekend to see price changes as a result, while the Friday update will track any changes before the next series of events. The prices come from TCG Player’s median, tracking cards valued at $2.00 USD and up.

Set summary

The set is moving. This weekend will really drive the prices. Don't expect Jace to keep his inflated price for very long. The planeswalkers will generally trend lower, but Jace is the one to liquidate in the short term. This spike is unsustainable and no one wants to be the one stuck with a bunch of them when they sink in a couple of weeks.

Set summary

It's finally happened. Our valiant champion, the Kraken token, has finally fell off the tally. Let us observe a moment of silence for the poor token. Truly it is the hero Magic deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll devalue it. Because it can take it. Because it's not our hero. It's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A Kraken token.

Overall Summary

Standard will be interesting after what happens at the Pro Tour. Don't get in on the Jace hype right now, because no Standard mythic can possibly keep so much value unless it's either a cross-format all-star or degenerate to the point where the majority of decks run four. He doesn't sculpt wallets, so he's not value unbound.
