Why the suffix changes the price

A mechanic decides how strong a card is in play and how rare it is in a pack, and both feed straight into the price. Cards that hand the opponent extra prize cards are printed as chase rares, so a VMAX or a Tag Team sits far above a plain print of the same creature. Open any mechanic to see every card of that kind, sorted by what it costs today.
