The Magic: The Gathering train rumbles on, with preorders going live last week for Avatar: The Last Airbender, and hype building for Spider-Man next month, but Edge of Eternities is already seeing some big changes in value.
That’s not all, though. A Foundations staple and a card two decades old are getting some love, while Final Fantasy’s Vivi Ornitier is going nowhere, it seems. Here are this week’s crashers and climbers, thanks to data from TCGPlayer.
New Foundation
Let’s kick things off with a card that’s pretty easy to find. Soulstone Sanctuary, printed in last year’s Foundations set, has essentially doubled in value.
It’s a land that can become a 3/3 creature, but that creature is all types. That means that if your opponent goes for the Shoot the Sheriff (a low-cost removal spell), it won’t be able to remove Soulstone Sanctuary since it’s essentially an Assassin, Mercenary, Pirate, Rogue, and Warlock all in one.
If you fancy pulling off the Thespian’s Stage/Dark Depths combo to cheat out a 20/20 monstrosity, this is a nice printing to do it with.
I maintain it’s a perfect addition to the World Shaper precon, and its market value has dropped below $20 now. Expect it to go down further in the coming weeks.
But that's not the only Magic deals worth discussing today, and arguably the best deal of the week is still the MTG x Final Fantasy precons bundle. It's down to $189.99 at Amazon, $90 off the MSRP, and the best price we've ever seen for the four commander deck set.
That’s less than $50 a deck, despite three out of four costing more than that when bought separately. In fact, Final Fantasy 7’s Limit Break is STILL $72.50 at Amazon.
