What MTG cards will rise in price?

A handful of the more powerful Samurai such as Konda, Lord of Eiganjo, Kentaro, the Smiling Cat, Opal-Eye, Konda’s Yojimbo, and Isao, Enlightened Bushi are best-positioned for possible price spikes. As far as Commander staples, WotC continues to insert them in Secret Lairs and supplemental products.

Why are MTG cards dropping in price?

Reprints: When a card is reprinted, no matter how good it is, it will go down in value. This is because there are now more of the card. Even if it is still a valuable card, there are more of it, and thus it is less valuable.

Why are Mtg prices going up?

Over the past year, the costs of goods, transportation, and manufacturing have increased significantly and steadily for just about everyone across nearly every industry. For Wizards of the Coast, this means that we’ve seen a large spike in the overall costs to produce Magic: The Gathering.

Why did Wizards get rid of MSRP?

As Magic becomes more and more global, it makes less and less sense to suggest a retail price. Don’t worry—this isn’t some big disruption to our products or the company. We believe the elimination of MSRP will simply help us communicate better to our players and the places where those players shop.

Do Magic cards lose value over time?

Forever. No matter what happens to WotC, as long as there are physical cards in existence, people will play. If the game dies off, demand will likely tank… but, as the others said, it’s kind of impossible to determine how that will impact value of individual cards.

Why do foil cards warp?

Humidity (moisture in the air) is the biggest reason why foil cards curl. Since the front of the Magic card is made from mylar, it won’t expand or contract when exposed to the moisture in the air.

Why are modern decks so expensive?

As powerful new cards are printed in the least accessible way possible, prices will continue to rise, and more players will be priced out of the decks and formats they want to play. Even worse, it’s unlikely that these cards will get cheaper anytime soon, even if Wizards does reprint them.

Are foil MTG cards worth more?

Most foils were worth roughly 1.5 to 2 times as much as their non-foil counterparts, with select Commander and eternal staples demanding a premium up to 10 or 20 times their non-foil value.

Why Black Lotus is so expensive?

Black Lotus is usually considered to be the most valuable non-promotional Magic card ever printed. Its Alpha and Beta versions in particular are considered to be extremely valuable, due to the more limited print runs and black borders of those sets.
