The Running Tally of Magic 2015
Welcome to the tally thread for Magic 2015. Here we will be keep track of the rise and fall of cards in particular set over the course of their time in Standard.
I will be leading them for the foreseeable future. Here are a few ground rules for the tally threads.
Discussions of price changes are fine and welcome. Same with speculation.
You cannot link directly to the site that you are getting your data from. That is advertising and is an infractable offense.
If you use data from a site that you personally benefit from, you must state that at the beginning of your post for that data. You are not allowed to link to your site except for in your signature.
Some things about my list.
I changed it from previous to exclude SCG. It will be based purely on TCG Mid. I did this because I felt uncomfortable using SCG for prices. Also, it makes my worklord a lot easier (2/3 of it is gone).
The reason for TCG Player median is TCG Player's Low option is almost always for non-mint cards as far as I could tell. Most players use TCG Player Mid as trade value. This is not a price guide for where to buy, but telling you what the going rate is for a card so you can decide where to spend your money.
For the record, I do not work for or gain anything from TCG Player. I do not sell online at all or have a card shop. I am purely a trader here on MtGS.
I am here to do this for the community. That means if there is a problem with what I am doing, please let me known. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.
Prices remain stable. Garruk went up a dollar, possibly due to being good in Sultai/Abzan with other planeswalkers...
Data was somehow lost for Waste Not, so I am going to compare its price next week. And welcome to Crucible to being worth more than a dollar.
This is getting much better. I like that you are just using TCG Mid, and I like the increase / decrease. I like that the increase / decrease is based off of your last post instead of a fixed time period.
Nice to see Chord of Calling finally rising up a bit.
I must admit I've been playing Garruk as a one of in my Abzan midrange deck and he has been a star.
7 mana isn't too much to pay and he comes down and just goes boom on Elspeth, Sorin or Ajani. 5 loyalty? Who cares, it's dead.
He has been hanging out in my trade binder for months hoping somebody would want him. Now I've built a Rhino deck he is hunting bigger game and I'm happy to keep him
Magic 2015: April 3, 2015 Update
Insect Token 1.91 (+0.02)
This seems a little weird to me. Hornet Queen (and Hornet Nest) aren't seeing as much play as they used to in Standard. I like to have the right tokens and don't like putting dice on tokens to represent how many are in play, so I bought a bunch of these when I was running both the cards that generate insects. I don't usually concern myself with the value of token, but at this price I have over $60+ worth of them, so maybe I should unload them.
Anyway, is the price a reflection of them being used in other formats? Are these token likely to hold long term value?

Tokens are weird. Some people really like certain ones and keep the price elevated. Some tokens are secretly mythic, and are ridiculously expensive because they both go with good cards and are really hard to find (Elemental from DGM, the 2 Wurms from SOM). I didn't buy any M15, so I don't know how comparatively rare the Insects are, but they're only made by rares so they're probably not too common? They probably won't move too much unless they get reprinted in a Commander deck or something like the Wurm tokens.

Part of it is that you really need to have 4x of this token. For the other cards that produce multiple tokens, there have already been plenty of printings of it. But no one wants to be that dork that plays Hornet Queen and puts out two tokens and 2 dice.

Garruk claimed Rabble as its next victim. Is Nissa next?
7 mana isn't too much to pay and he comes down and just goes boom on Elspeth, Sorin or Ajani. 5 loyalty? Who cares, it's dead.
He has been hanging out in my trade binder for months hoping somebody would want him. Now I've built a Rhino deck he is hunting bigger game and I'm happy to keep him

Anyway, is the price a reflection of them being used in other formats? Are these token likely to hold long term value?
Tokens are weird. Some people really like certain ones and keep the price elevated. Some tokens are secretly mythic, and are ridiculously expensive because they both go with good cards and are really hard to find (Elemental from DGM, the 2 Wurms from SOM). I didn't buy any M15, so I don't know how comparatively rare the Insects are, but they're only made by rares so they're probably not too common? They probably won't move too much unless they get reprinted in a Commander deck or something like the Wurm tokens.
Part of it is that you really need to have 4x of this token. For the other cards that produce multiple tokens, there have already been plenty of printings of it. But no one wants to be that dork that plays Hornet Queen and puts out two tokens and 2 dice.
