MTGGOLDFISH: Meme or Dream Circle of Loyalty

[width="1"] [MTGGoldfish][Magic Newsletter] --------------------------------------------------------------- Budget Magic: $94 Egon Stompy (Modern) --------------------------------------------------------------- 2BStompy-62ec4c11-256f-4d02-9b19-a21a27ea76be%2Ejpg How good is Egon, God of Death in Modern on a budget, backed by Rotting Regisaur, Demonic Embrace, and a bunch of cheap, aggressive black creatures? Let's see [Doubling Season](Masters/Doubling+Season#paper) [Verdant Catacombs](Catacombs#paper) This week's biggest finance news is the release of Time Spiral Remastered. Cards from the main set are still trending down in price. In fact, as a whole, Time Spiral Remastered lost nearly 30% of its value this week. Just how long this will last remains to be seen. Box prices jumped from around $180 to nearly $230 over the past few days, which suggests that supply is already running low. While waiting a bit longer to pick up expensive singles like [Sliver Legion](Spiral+Remastered/Sliver+Legion#paper) makes sense, I wouldn't wait too long. Even though it's release weekend, between the low supply and the fact that we're jumping into Strixhaven spoilers this week, I'm not sure the set will be actively opened for that much longer. Meanwhile, in Commander some of the best "tokens matter" cards in the format are on the rise with [Doubling Season](Masters/Doubling+Season#paper) climbing back up to $75 after being as low as $40 a few months ago thanks to a Double Masters reprinting and [Parallel Lives](em>Innistrad/Parallel+Lives#paper) hitting $60 after being $25 back in December. The catalyst for this increase seems to be some new legends like [Lathril, Blade of the Elves](em>Kaldheim+Commander:Foil/Lathril+Blade+of+the+Elves#paper), [Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider](em>Kaldheim/Vorinclex+Monstrous+Raider#paper), and especially [Koma, Cosmos Serpent (planeswalker stamp)](em>Kaldheim/Koma+Cosmos+Serpent-planeswalker+stamp#paper), although it could also be a bet that Simic... err... Quandrix from Strixhaven will have a +1/+1 counter theme based on the fact that [Quandrix Command](School+of+Mages/Quandrix+Command#paper) has a +1/+1 counter mode and +1/+1 counters has been a traditional Simic mechanic in two-color sets for a long time. While there isn't much you can do if you need either of these cards now, the biggest lesson here is to try to pick up Commander staples when they are reprinted and cheap because they are unlikely to stay cheap for all that long. Last but not least, in Modern, [Verdant Catacombs](Lair+Ultimate+Edition/Verdant+Catacombs#paper) is on our biggest winners list this week, increasing 16% to $65 based on increased Jund play in post-banning Modern. If you need copies of [Verdant Catacombs](Lair+Ultimate+Edition/Verdant+Catacombs#paper) or any other expensive fetches, just keep waiting. We already know they are getting a "real" reprinting in Modern Horizons II, which is less than three months away at this point. Last time fetches were reprinted they dropped down into the $30-$40 range, so there's a decent chance that you'll save a lot of money by getting your [Verdant Catacombs](Lair+Ultimate+Edition/Verdant+Catacombs#paper) in June after rather than picking them up today.
