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 or other non-set releases. 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.

| Pyromancer's Goggles | $9.31 | $10.90 | $12.54 | $15.06 | $16.61 | $1.59 | $7.30 | This card ran real hot, but it burned out after the decks it was in failed to make too great of an impact. | |||
| Languish | $7.83 | $8.47 | $8.70 | $8.95 | $9.00 | $0.64 | $1.17 | Keep copies of this until it rotates. | |||
| Hangarback Walker | $5.98 | $6.72 | $7.19 | $7.82 | $8.00 | $0.74 | $2.02 | This is a great card that no longer has a place in Standard, or any Modern deck. It might see some play in Vintage decks, so it not worthless. | |||
| Dark Petition | $5.46 | $5.87 | $6.56 | $6.82 | $6.98 | $0.41 | $1.52 | This rare might see some more life in the next set, but this has hit its highest point for the foreseeable future. | |||
| Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh | $5.09 | $5.26 | $5.49 | $5.75 | $5.82 | $0.17 | $0.73 | The least explosive of the five flip walkers, this will take its place in the pile of all the other bad and lukewarm Chandras. | |||
| Alhammarret's Archive | $4.75 | $4.95 | $5.03 | $5.00 | $4.99 | $0.20 | $0.24 | This casual card continues to be in demand. | |||
| Knight of the White Orchid | $4.15 | $4.73 | $5.25 | $5.96 | $6.48 | $0.58 | $2.33 | This card still has some life in Standard, so do not throw it out just yet, although its best days are behind it. | |||
| Shivan Reef | $3.34 | $3.52 | $3.79 | $3.91 | $3.99 | $0.18 | $0.65 | This is the best of the painlands, so keep copies of this. | |||
| Sphinx's Tutelage | $3.09 | $3.27 | $3.38 | $3.38 | $3.36 | $0.18 | $0.27 | This uncommon is a great card. Expect it to stick around for awhile. | |||
| Pia and Kiran Nalaar | $2.91 | $3.20 | $3.53 | $3.92 | $4.08 | $0.29 | $1.17 | This card will go up, but it will never reach the heights it was once at. | |||
| Abbot of Keral Keep | $2.84 | $3.25 | $3.95 | $4.67 | $5.26 | $0.41 | $2.42 | This card has failed to revitalized itself, and doubtful it will make a scene in Modern. | |||
| Goblin Piledriver | $2.84 | $2.99 | $3.26 | $3.52 | $3.75 | $0.15 | $0.91 | This fun time goblin may will see play in the Modern Goblin deck and make the Legacy Goblin deck a little cheaper. | |||
| Infinite Obliteration | $2.81 | $3.09 | $3.28 | $3.44 | $3.49 | $0.28 | $0.68 | It is doubtful this will see Modern play. | |||
| Day's Undoing | $2.74 | $2.75 | $2.83 | $2.88 | $2.85 | $0.01 | $0.11 | This card is easily the card that has maintained its value for no good reason. | |||
| Starfield of Nyx | $2.57 | $2.68 | $2.79 | $2.84 | $2.84 | $0.11 | $0.27 | This is a favorite that should be in a binder. | |||
| Demonic Pact | $2.50 | $2.70 | $2.83 | $2.91 | $2.93 | $0.20 | $0.43 | This will be a casual favorite to break. Great lore and some players like to break a Johnny card. | |||
| Sword of the Animist | $2.26 | $2.29 | $2.31 | $2.35 | $2.35 | $0.03 | $0.09 | Another equipment that failed to break out. | |||
| Hallowed Moonlight | $2.23 | $2.32 | $2.44 | $2.65 | $2.78 | $0.09 | $0.55 | This is a card that has a bright future and could see Modern play very easily. | |||
| Caves of Koilos | $2.21 | $2.22 | $2.28 | $2.31 | $2.32 | $0.01 | $0.11 | Dropping only a penny means that it could hold its value for the foreseeable future. | |||
| Exquisite Firecraft | $2.19 | $2.31 | $2.47 | $2.56 | $2.57 | $0.12 | $0.38 | Another rare that still has potential, but its best day is behind it. | |||
| Avaricious Dragon | $2.06 | $2.32 | $2.44 | $2.75 | $2.88 | $0.26 | $0.82 | This needs to be gone, as it was a bad speculation. Hopefully none of the readers here fell for this trap, or if they did, that they were able to flip it for a good profit. | |||
| Llanowar Wastes | $2.00 | $2.04 | $2.14 | $2.14 | $2.19 | $0.04 | $0.19 | This is disappointing it is sinking down in value. | |||
| Managorger Hydra | $2.00 | $2.14 | $2.30 | $2.45 | $2.51 | $0.14 | $0.51 | This should be gone by next week. |

| Collected Company | $22.71 | $23.71 | $24.04 | $24.50 | $24.77 | $1.00 | $2.06 | The card is cooling off, but will be a great card in Modern, and may be see play in Legacy if a right deck can be built with it. | |||
| Dragonlord Ojutai | $14.93 | $16.00 | $17.38 | $17.74 | $17.92 | $1.07 | $2.99 | This dragonlord has potential to be good in U/W Control decks outside of Standard. | |||
| Kolaghan's Command | $14.21 | $15.31 | $16.04 | $17.43 | $18.00 | $1.10 | $3.79 | This card needs to drop to under $10 before it's advisable to pick up a few copies, which seems like it could easily happen. | |||
| Dragonlord Atarka | $12.01 | $12.78 | $13.45 | $13.28 | $13.20 | $0.77 | $1.19 | This dragonlord is good, but doubtful how much an impact it will have outside of Standard. | |||
| Narset Transcendent | $11.25 | $11.90 | $12.07 | $12.18 | $12.28 | $0.65 | $1.03 | This card has a small spark, but then it went away. | |||
| Secure the Wastes | $10.14 | $10.99 | $11.34 | $11.30 | $11.30 | $0.85 | $1.16 | This card might be good to get if you plan on running it anytime soon. | |||
| Atarka's Command | $8.41 | $9.24 | $9.91 | $10.49 | $10.92 | $0.83 | $2.51 | This needs to drop a few more dollars then it will be good to pick up a few copies. | |||
| Dragonlord Silumgar | $7.60 | $7.66 | $7.50 | $7.46 | $6.65 | $0.06 | $0.95 | This did not stink as much as other dragonlords, but it still went down despite seeing play. | |||
| Dragonlord Dromoka | $6.76 | $6.90 | $7.12 | $6.99 | $6.99 | $0.14 | $0.23 | This dragonlord will see play in other decks across Magic's formats. | |||
| Deathmist Raptor | $6.55 | $7.99 | $8.96 | $10.00 | $10.57 | $1.44 | $4.02 | This card is extinct. | |||
| Sarkhan Unbroken | $5.56 | $5.78 | $5.95 | $5.97 | $6.00 | $0.22 | $0.44 | Good thing Sarkhan is happy because he never really found a home in Standard. | |||
| Dromoka's Command | $4.25 | $4.50 | $4.60 | $4.70 | $4.65 | $0.25 | $0.40 | This card looks like it hit as much as it is going to. It could do well if there is a good W/g Human deck and good enchantments in the next set. | |||
| Risen Executioner | $4.21 | $4.79 | $5.06 | $5.33 | $5.50 | $0.58 | $1.29 | His price has not risen at all in a long time. | |||
| Den Protector | $4.17 | $5.08 | $5.84 | $6.35 | $6.64 | $0.91 | $2.47 | This is a good target for a potential last hurrah. | |||
| Dragonlord Kolaghan | $4.12 | $4.16 | $4.16 | $4.00 | $4.00 | $0.04 | $0.12 | This is a good dragon to have for the future. | |||
| Sidisi, Undead Vizor | $3.46 | $3.46 | $3.57 | $3.59 | $3.56 | $0.00 | $0.10 | Casual demand is casually demanding. | |||
| Shaman of Forgotten Ways | $2.93 | $2.96 | $2.99 | $3.00 | $3.00 | $0.03 | $0.07 | That this card has not hit bulk rare is kind of surprising. Maybe it sees play in Commander. | |||
| Thunderbreak Regent | $2.78 | $3.10 | $3.44 | $3.69 | $3.85 | $0.32 | $1.07 | This card has since passed from the playability of Standard, unless Eldritch Moon has some great dragon support. | |||
| Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit | $2.25 | $2.27 | $2.37 | $2.36 | $2.47 | $0.02 | $0.22 | This is a card to get for the future. | |||
| Descent of Dragons | $2.20 | $2.20 | $2.19 | $2.20 | $2.22 | $0.00 | $0.02 | This card continues to not go down. |

Overall Summary
The state of the Magic market is losing value.
Eternal Masters is here and it has hit a lot of good cards, but it also has a lot of duds. Overall, it is a solid set and if you play older formats, it worth getting a box and seeing what you open. It is a good investment for short and long term value, and has a lot of history and flavor to it. It is the set to buy packs of if you can afford it, compared to anything in Standard. The cards will lose value in the short term, but they will go up with time. Cards that were not printed in this set, such as Rishadan Port will likely be printed in the next Eternal Masters.
Cards to Watch
Previously, these were predicted to spike:
Sin Prodder: This was not expected to go up this week but later.
This week:
Lumbering Falls: This is a solid creature land and works well with Sylvan Advocate. It has the potential to make a comeback.
Cards to Avoid
Previously, these were predicted to fall:
Standard pretty much went down.
This week:
