We can’t know what the price would have been, but a slow increase during the reprint time is a sign of strong demand. It’s quite possible that if Rhystic Study had NOT been in Mystery booster, it would be a $35-$40 card. Clearly the demand for the card has outpaced this meager increase in supply. It’s just going up and will keep going up. “Did you pay the one?” is asked by 64k decks online and likely it’s used even more often that than that, causing chaos, eye twitches, and lectures from the table: That’s for a mythic from Theros, and while there’s been a Secret Lair, there hasn’t been a lot of reprint to this and the demand is middling, being in about 18,000 Commander decks online. You can see that the original Theros copies did take a hit, being down about $7 from its high around $23. Mystery Booster was first revealed in November 2019, and that engine really got going in the following four months, coming to a screeching halt in March 2020. So to get a Mystery Booster edition of Purphoros, God of the Forge, you’d have to open, on average, 121 packs. Each of those slots pulled from its own sheet of 121 cards. If you’ll recall, there were 14 slots of regular cards and one slot for the Playtest cards. Mystery Booster: Convention Edition represents a good reference point for this level of reprint. The List represents an extension of the Mystery Booster experiment: how many copies of a card need to enter circulation for the price to actually go down? I’ve written before about the joy of the Mystery experience, and I sold out of the playtest cards too early, but the concept is great. Drafting isn’t always conducive to that behavior, and now we have an in-between for the workhorse Draft Booster and the super-bling Collector Booster.

I like the concept, it’s for people who like cracking a pack for the experience, for the neat things.

We need to talk about what’s on The List, how the prices will be affected, and what to expect going forward.įirst of all, let’s examine MaRo’s words about Set Boosters. There’s one subset of this experience that has more significance than new cards: The List, that set of 300 reprints that is only available in these Set Boosters.

Vendors have started to get their allocations of cards too, and are cracking them to fulfill presale orders on Sept.

Zendikar Rising has arrived online, and paper versions can be played with this weekend, prerelease style.
