Magic: The Gathering Price Watch

This Weeks MTG Crashers and Climbers

Magic: The Gathering prices are shifting again this week, with some surprising winners and losers. On the rise, older cards like Need for Speed and Scrapheap have spiked thanks to new synergies with upcoming characters like Toph from the Avatar set and Ragost, Deft Gastronaut, with both cards now sitting closer to $7–$8 after being near bulk prices.

Other climbers include Ugin’s Nexus (though its rumored combo doesn’t quite work), Terra Eternal, and Repurposing Bay. On the flip side, several once-hot Edge of Eternities cards are cooling off: Breeding Pool (Borderless) has plummeted from over $100 to around $35, while Ouroboroid, Tannuk, Steadfast Second, The Endstone, and Terrasymbiosis are all trending downward as hype dies down. With Spider-Man’s debut set still a few weeks away, players are clearly reshuffling their priorities—and their wallets.

Most Expensive Pokémon Cards from Japan's Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia

Japan's Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia Pokémon TCG sets have quickly gained popularity with collectors and competitive players alike, thanks to their focus on iconic Mega Evolutions, powerful Supporter cards, and premium artwork. High-value chase cards like Mega Gardevoir ex 092/063 and Mega Lucario ex 092/063 are priced at $664 and $444 respectively, while many others remain above the $100 mark.

These sets combine strong gameplay mechanics such as Psychic energy acceleration and hard-hitting Fighting-type attacks with visually stunning Special and Ultra Rare treatments that elevate their appeal. Booster boxes and Premium Trainer Boxes are available on TCGPlayer and include guaranteed rare pulls due to Japanese packaging rules. While the most expensive cards draw attention, more affordable options like Lillie’s Determination 086/063, Mega Kangaskhan ex SAR, and Mega Absol ex SAR offer great value with solid gameplay and collector-friendly art, making these sets a standout release for fans looking for both playability and display-worthy cards.

This Weeks Crashers and Climbers

Stellar Crown’s Illustration Rares like Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Terapagos ex are dropping fast, with nostalgia-driven hype fading as supply grows and competitive players move on. Squirtle is down about 32% since February and Bulbasaur is down 31%, both sliding because their gameplay value is minimal. Earthen Vessel and the Special Illustration Rare Fezandipiti ex are also slipping, while Terapagos ex has been hit hardest, losing over half its value.

On the other hand, Shrouded Fable cards with practical utility are steadily climbing. Hyper Rare Basic Darkness Energy has gained around 17% as Dark-focused decks get more popular, and Dusclops is creeping up thanks to its creative ability. Even the Double Rare Fezandipiti ex is bucking the trend, nearly doubling in value as competitive players embrace it. Smaller gains from Powerglass and Okidogi ex reinforce the idea that functional, playable cards are holding their ground while flashy artwork is losing steam.
