Let's see [Outlaws' Merriment](of+Eldraine/Outlaws+Merriment#paper) [Cruel Tutor](Tutor#paper) This week, most of the biggest finance news is related to the impending release of Zendikar Rising, with many of the biggest gainers of the week being older cards that work well with the themes of the set, especially in Commander. [Knowledge Exploitation](em>Morningtide/Knowledge+Exploitation#paper) leads the way, doubling up to $8 based on its power on Rogue commander decks, while [Oboro, Palace in the Clouds](of+Kamigawa/Oboro+Palace+in+the+Clouds#paper) is now nearly $60 (after being $20 near the end of August) thanks to its ability to trigger landfall every turn. Speaking of landfall, [Admonition Angel](em>Worldwake/Admonition+Angel#paper) jumped 66% to just under $14 as a potential staple in [Omnath, Locus of Creation](em>Zendikar+Rising/Omnath+Locus+of+Creation#paper) Commander brews. Expect to see more increases and buyouts in the coming weeks as players start building around the new Zendikar Rising legends, and even more once we hit Commander Legends spoiler season in another month or so. As far as Standard, [Outlaws' Merriment](Pack+Throne+of+Eldraine/Outlaws+Merriment#paper) nearly doubled in price this week to over $4. While the card is slow, it can make almost a full party by itself with its tokens being Human Warriors, Clerics, and Rogues, potentially making it an appealing option for party decks. Even if it doesn't end up being good enough for Standard, it might maintain its new price thanks to demand from party-based Commander decks. Finally, Wizards revealed "The List" - cards that are not part of Zendikar Rising but will show up 25% of the time in Zendikar Rising Set Boosters. While it contains some very expensive reprints like [Cruel Tutor](em>Portal/Cruel+Tutor#paper), [Food Chain](Masques/Food+Chain#paper), [Emrakul, the Aeons Torn](Masters+2015/Emrakul+the+Aeons+Torn#paper), and [Training Grounds](of+the+Eldrazi/Training+Grounds#paper), it's important to keep in mind that the odds of opening high-end reprints is fairly low. 1 in 4 set boosters will get their marketing card slot upgraded to a card from "The List," and since cards keep their rarity (so commons will show up more often than rares) you'll get roughly one rare "The List" card every two set booster boxes and one mythic "The List" card about once in every case. This means that even though there are some super valuable reprints to open, the variance will be absurdly high. The good news is that "The List" card replaces a worthless advertising card, so any value you get from the slot is a bonus. The bottom line is that you shouldn't buy set boosters expecting to hit high-value cards from "The List." Instead, buy them because they are close to strictly better than draft boosters if you are just cracking packs for fun and treat the possibility of getting a [Cruel Tutor](em>Portal/Cruel+Tutor#paper) or [Food Chain](Masques/Food+Chain#paper) as a lottery-ticket type bonus.
