The Fortnite MTG card Battle Bus has experienced a significant 450% price increase in the past week, rising from $5.50 to $30, with foil versions now selling for $80. This reskinned version of Smuggler’s Copter was sold in the Fortnite MTG Secret Lair in 2022 and has seen a surge in price due to fan speculation about potential unbanning in the Modern and Pioneer formats. Smuggler’s Copter was originally banned due to its efficiency and ability to be played in any deck, impacting deck diversity. However, with aggro decks not performing well in Pioneer, there is speculation that it may be safe to unban this MTG vehicle. Regular versions of Smuggler’s Copter have also increased in price from $1 to $4. The crossover between Magic and Fortnite was initially met with skepticism, but the Secret Lair variants are expected to be in shorter supply than regular copies of the card, leading to the price spike. For more stories on price spikes in MTG formats, there are other cards experiencing significant increases due to various factors such as the Discover keyword and potential hate cards. Additionally, readers can explore the most expensive MTG cards of all time.
