The Magic secondary market has become calmer as the year progressed, with some cards seeing price changes due to new interactions being discovered. Many relevant cards have been reprinted, making Magic cards cheaper, but also increasing the desirability of cards that missed a reprint. Edgar Markov doubled in price over the past three months, reaching over $150 despite a reprint. Bloodthirsty Adversary, Urabrask’s Forge, Edgar, Charmed Groom, and Tranquil Frillback have all seen price increases, with Bloodthirsty Adversary’s market price on TCGplayer increasing to just under $18 and recent foils selling for over $20. Urabrask’s Forge has increased in price to between $2-3 from less than a dollar, and Edgar, Charmed Groom has spiked from about 60 cents to a market value of $3.78. Tranquil Frillback’s secondary market average has increased from less than a dollar to $5 for its normal variant. The article suggests that the Regional Championship Qualifier season may cause some Standard cards to rise in price on the secondary market, but it remains to be seen how much interest this will generate for local game stores. Overall, the price spikes may indicate a potential return of interest in Standard in the new year.
