The MTG Merfolk card Vodalian Hexcatcher has experienced a sudden price spike following the release of Lost Caverns of Ixalan. The card, originally priced at 94 cents, is now selling for $3.90 on TCGPlayer, marking a 315% increase. This surge in value is attributed to the release of Lost Caverns of Ixalan, which has generated renewed interest in Merfolk decks. Vodalian Hexcatcher is particularly appealing due to its ability to counter spells by sacrificing a Merfolk, making it a powerful addition to Merfolk Commander decks. The card has also seen some play in Modern and Legacy formats, but its popularity in MTG Commander has been the primary driver of its increased value. The release of the Commander Hakbal of the Surging Soul precon has further contributed to the rise in interest in Merfolk decks, with 150 Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca decks being uploaded to EDHREC in the last 30 days. It remains to be seen whether other Merfolk cards will experience a similar increase in value, as was the case with faerie cards after the release of Wilds of Eldraine.
