Magic: Emrakul, the Exigent Doom foil lost $38.76, down 43.5% in a week
All six big drops this week came from sets released in the last four months. Four cards rose 10% or more, from sets as old as 2023 and as new as November 1.
From October 27 to November 3, 1,167 of the 2,146 Magic: The Gathering cards worth $20 or more that trade often got cheaper, and 938 got more expensive. That is 54% down and 44% up, with a median change of −0.2%. Ten cards moved 10% or more: six fell and four rose.
The largest move in dollars belongs to Emrakul, the Exigent Doom (Borderless), a foil from Reality Fracture.
Emrakul lost 43.5% in seven days
The Reality Fracture foil went from $89.14 to $50.38, a loss of $38.76. The set came out on October 2, so the card is barely a month old. On November 3 the cheapest copy for sale was $49.99, almost exactly the market price, so sellers are not asking much less than the new level.
Reality Fracture has a second card among the big drops: The Theorist, Jace Beleren (Borderless) (0363), a foil, slid from $90.08 to $64.42, down 28.5%.
Mystery Booster Commander Edition supplied three drops
Three of the six big drops come from Mystery Booster Commander Edition, released October 1. Seluma, Light of Aysen lost 58.8%, more than half its price, falling from $52.68 to $21.71.
Arzakon dropped 54.8%, from $52.42 to $23.69. Homer, the Hermit lost 40.6%, ending at $24.78. The sixth drop is the Tymna the Weaver foil from MagicFest Cards, released November 1, down 34.3% to $34.86.
All six big drops come from sets released in the last four months, and five of them from sets that are about a month old.
The four gains came from sets of every age
The gains are smaller, between 10.9% and 13.1%. Volatile Stormdrake (Borderless), a Modern Horizons 3 foil, rose to $24.45. Vraska, Betrayal's Sting (Oil Slick Raised Foil) from Phyrexia: All Will Be One gained 10.9%, to $27.92.
The other two are from newer sets. The Sol Ring (2783) foil from Secret Lair Drop Series, released November 1, rose 12.8% to $37.83. Ultron the Annihilator from Commander: Marvel Super Heroes, released June 26, gained 12.2%, to $22.51.
