Pulse: Freezing Hail stole the spotlight at +427.8%

Market Mood: Neutral

Summary

Freezing Hail in Grand Archive is the headline climber, reportedly up 427.8 percent, and it is not subtle about why. It shows up both as a top mover and on the critical-severity buyout list, which is the classic pattern: sellers get swept, price gets relisted higher, and suddenly a modest card looks like a blue-chip. Windy Leap (Curio Foil) joins it on the buyout alarm, suggesting a focused raid on specific Grand Archive pieces rather than organic play demand. Over in Pokémon, Roxanne, 150/189 (2022) is up 370.5 percent, a big move for a relatively recent trainer where supply is not inherently scarce, so one or two aggressive runs can reset the whole mood. The broader tape looks like a collector-and-speculator cocktail with a nostalgia garnish. Ho-Oh (Shiny) is reportedly up 143.2 percent and Deoxys ex (Defense Forme) 140.5 percent, both older, fan-favorite Pokémon where thin, out-of-print supply means a few sales can jump the chart. One Piece keeps its anniversary party going, with Monkey.D.Luffy (4th Anniversary) up 109.2 percent on character appeal more than format pressure. Magic’s Abundant Countryside (Extended Art) is up 84.6 percent, and Yu-Gi-Oh!’s Inferno Fire Blast (UTR) up 142.4 percent, both premium variants that live in that hazy space between playability and “looks cool in a binder.” Crystalia Tia in Shadowverse Evolve only has a modest 5.0 percent uptick predicted, which might be the most honest thing on the board: not every card is destined to be the main character in a buyout story.
