Let's find out on this crossover Budget Magic/Meme or Dream? special [Arcbound Ravager](Ravager#paper) [Krark's Thumb](Thumb#paper) This week most of our biggest finance news is attached to Modern Horizons 2 spoilers. Leading the way was [Sanity Grinding](em>Eventide/Sanity+Grinding#paper), with the mill spell jumping a massive 629% to $20 thanks to the printing of [Fractured Sanity](Horizons+2/Fractured+Sanity#paper) and the possibility of a Mono-Blue Mill deck developing in Modern. Whether or not focusing on the traditionally underpowered chroma mechanic will actually be a legitimate plan for Modern mill remains to be seen, but as an old one-printing rare, it doesn't take much for a card like [Sanity Grinding](em>Eventide/Sanity+Grinding#paper) to spike. Along the same lines, former Affinity all-star [Arcbound Ravager](em>Darksteel/Arcbound+Ravager#paper) is on the rise, with both its original Darksteel and Modern Masters printings increasing about 35% to just under $19. It was only a couple years ago that the two-drop was on the short list of the most expensive cards in Modern, coming in at around $50, but the banning of [Mox Opal](Masters/Mox+Opal#paper) more or less removed Affinity from the format. It seems like at least some people are betting the archetype will make a return to Modern thanks to the support for artifact decks in general and the modular mechanic in specific. If you're thinking of building Affinity, Modular, or Hardened Scales in the near future, it might be worth grabbing your [Arcbound Ravager](em>Darksteel/Arcbound+Ravager#paper)s now. If an artifact deck reemerges in the format, [Arcbound Ravager](em>Darksteel/Arcbound+Ravager#paper)'s price still has room to grow. Last but not least we have [Krark's Thumb](List/Krarks+Thumb#paper), with the coin flipping payoff shooting up 62% to $42. While it's unlikely a coin flip deck becomes a real thing in Modern, [Yusri, Fortune's Flame](Horizons+2/Yusri+Fortunes+Flame#paper) offers the archetype a very powerful and interesting new commander. If you're going to build around something like [Yusri, Fortune's Flame](Horizons+2/Yusri+Fortunes+Flame#paper), [Krark's Thumb](List/Krarks+Thumb#paper) will likely be the first card you add to your deck, increasing demand and driving up the price. The big lesson here is that when you see a card with a unique effect, even if it only works with an extremely narrow tribe or mechanic, it's probably worth buying, or at least holding onto, because in a world where Wizards prints a ton of cards for Commander, it will likely get support eventually.
