📊 Weekly Market Reports

Magic: The Gathering

News: Magic’s news slate includes scrapped plans to bring back dead characters in Reality Fracture, a special Secret Lair for New York Comic Con, and upcoming panels covering a Marvel product and Nauctis previews. Elsewhere, headlines cover a value breakdown for the MTG Corn Maze Secret Lair, Commander brews from the Echoverse, a K Pop Demon Hunters Secret Lair, Zeta Set’s December 9 return with a 24-hour ordering window, and a Labyrinth-themed Secret Lair that may test wallets, a noble tradition.

Tournament: Commander’s competitive field is notably fragmented, with Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy leading at just 7.3% of decks, followed closely by Kraum, Ludevic’s Opus plus Tymna the Weaver at 7.1%. The real consensus is in the mana base, where Sol Ring appears in 97.6% of decks and Lotus Petal in 85.5%, proof that Commander can disagree about commanders while remaining perfectly united about fast mana.

Metrics: Onakke Oathkeeper posted the sharpest rise, up 202% to $6.77, followed by Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God, up 148% to $12.48. The other notable moves were Swords to Plowshares at $2.06, up 104%, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose at $8.50, up 62%, and Resplendent Angel at $4.25, up 70%, with six unusual price spikes detected and the tracked group averaging a 60.2% increase.

Biggest gainer: Onakke Oathkeeper: up 202%

Pokémon TCG

News: Pokémon’s 30th Celebration products will expand across the October 2026 lineup, followed by a new Pokémon TCG Happy Meal promotion at McDonald’s in November. Competitive play also has a date on the horizon, with the Pokémon Team Masters Card Game Tournament announced for January 2027 in Seoul.

Tournament: Standard’s tournament field is led by Dragapult at 11.3%, while Basic Box and N’s Zoroark trail at 5.8% and 5.6%, respectively. The more striking consensus is in the Trainers, with Boss’s Orders appearing in 92% of decks and Night Stretcher in 85.3%, whereas Expanded is more diffuse, led by Regidrago at 8.3%.

Metrics: Rayquaza posted the sharpest move, rising 453% to $276.30, a number that makes “volatile” sound almost understated. Snorlax Lv.X reached $700 after a 75% increase, while Primarina rose 89% to $16.99 and Delcatty climbed 84% to $22.00, with the tracked movers averaging a 70.3% gain.

Biggest gainer: Rayquaza: up 453%

One Piece TCG

News: OnePiece.gg updated information on Extra Booster, One Piece Heroines Edition vol.2, EB-05, and announced Gift Collection, One Piece Heroines, GC-2026. Elsewhere, coverage continued on EB-05, while One Piece Top Decks reviewed a Red Ace deck in the postban OP17 format, without Mihawk.

Tournament: The Standard field is remarkably close at the top, with Nico Robin at 12.9%, Rocks.D.Xebec at 12.7%, and Monkey.D.Luffy at 12%, leaving no single leader to run away with the tournament story. Among individual cards, Yamato appeared in 23.6% of decks, ahead of Charlotte Pudding at 20.7% and Sweet 3 Generals at 18.7%, a reminder that the format’s real consensus may be in the deck cores rather than the leaders.

Metrics: Monkey.D.Luffy (119) rose 249% to $24.41, while the reprint reached $17.09 after a 114% increase, making Luffy the recurring character in this particular price report. The Dodgers x ONE PIECE version of Monkey.D.Luffy climbed 51% to $1,534.62, and Roronoa Zoro (Luffy Deck) rose 141% to $2.29, a percentage leap with considerably less money attached.

Biggest gainer: Monkey.D.Luffy (119): up 249%

Yu-Gi-Oh!

News: This week’s Yu-Gi-Oh! headlines include Tournament Pack 2026 Vol.3 [OCG-AE], additional Tournament Pack 2026 Vol.3 cards, and two more “Lostream Cards” for RD/CA01. The news also includes a major announcement about Dark Side of Dimension Returns, a Kazama and Tsuda roundtable discussion announcement, and new Forbidden and Limited Lists for Asian English, Duel Links Rush Duel, and Duel Links Speed Duel.

Tournament: The clearest regional split is Elfnote, which leads the OCG at 20.5% of decks but sits behind Kewl Tune and Blitzclique in the TCG, at 8.4%. The hand-trap package is just as different: Maxx “C” appears in 99.3% of OCG decks, while Mulcharmy Fuwalos leads TCG card inclusion at 61.7%, a reminder that “the meta” is not one room so much as two rooms arguing through a wall.

Metrics: Blackwing, Sirocco the Dawn posted the sharpest move, rising 307% to $38.88, while Threatening Roar climbed 168% to $13.27. Solemn Warning reached $5.50 after a 105% increase, and 21 unusual price spikes pushed the tracked movers’ average gain to 70.7%, which is a lot of drama for cardboard.

Biggest gainer: Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn (Purple): up 307%

Final Fantasy TCG

News: The official Final Fantasy TCG Card of the Week feature spotlights Meia in “Blissful Eternity.”

Tournament: Standard has no clear front-runner in this snapshot, with Wind/Water, Earth/Lightning, and Fire each accounting for 12.5% of the top archetypes. Shantotto is the format’s most widely included card at 54.5% of decks, a stronger shared signal than any single deck’s lead, though hardly evidence of a one-card monarchy.

Metrics: Tiamat EX posted the sharpest move, rising 25% to $7.92, while Aila climbed 22% to $5.26. Kain EX and Dancer each gained 16%, reaching $27.21 and $30.00 respectively, and eight unusual price spikes make the average gain of 12.2% look less like a tidy trend than a market with several loose wires.

Biggest gainer: Tiamat EX (Full Art): up 25%

Flesh and Blood

News: This week’s headlines include an official guide to *Silver Age: Usurp the Shadow Throne*, updates on the World Tour and its October schedule, and a Deck Dive focused on Showdown: Bilbao. The coverage also includes a Road to Nationals 2027 retailer FAQ and a wrap-up of World Tour Bilbao, which is a lot of Bilbao for one news cycle, even by tournament coverage standards.

Tournament: Classic Constructed is led by Levia, Shadowborn Abomination at 13.6%, while Living Legend is topped by Oscilio, Constella Intelligence at 20.9%, showing two formats with notably different front-runners. The shared constant is more striking: Fyendal's Spring Tunic, Shelter From The Storm, and Sigil Of Solace each appear in 65% of decks in both formats, the sort of cross-format consensus that cards rarely achieve without making a fuss.

Metrics: Fiddler's Green posted the largest move, rising 196% to $14.80, while Restless Templar climbed 62% to $25.23, the sort of price chart that invites a story but, for now, supplies only numbers. Blessing Of Aegis reached $4.22 after a 92% increase, Rush of Knowledge rose 78% to $4.66, and 14 unusual price spikes helped produce an average move of 38.1% among the tracked cards.

Biggest gainer: Fiddler's Green (Red): up 196%

Grand Archive

Tournament: Standard’s field is led by Water Fractals Diao Chan at 9.3%, with Fire Coup Ciel at 8.1% and Wind Crux Spirit Ruler Lorraine at 6.2%. That spread suggests a varied competitive environment rather than one champion ruling the room, at least in this tournament snapshot, which is about as close as Grand Archive gets to refusing a monarchy.

Metrics: The sharpest percentage moves came from Avatar of Byakko, up 74% to $3.40, and Spring Cleaning, up 72% to $15.91, while Miasmic Fog reached $6.88 after a 42% rise. The more consequential dollar move was Blastshot Pump, now $149.99 after gaining 30%, with seven unusual price spikes among the tracked cards and an average increase of 28.9%, because percentages occasionally enjoy making small cards look heroic.

Biggest gainer: Avatar of Byakko: up 74%

Sorcery: Contested Realm

News: Sorcery: Contested Realm is coming together in Prato, Italy, according to the official Sorcery TCG headline.

Tournament: Earth Archimago led the Constructed field at 11%, narrowly ahead of Fire Pathfinder at 10.2%, with Earth Geomancer at 8.5%. That is a spread of leading archetypes rather than a single deck ruling the realm, which is probably healthier than watching one wizard collect all the chairs.

Metrics: City of Souls posted the largest gain among the tracked cards, rising 11% to $191.65, while Land Surveyor reached $26.67 after a 10% move. Innsmouth Dock rose 9% to $251.66, Balor of the Evil Eye gained 6% to $232.96, and Mirage climbed 10% to $2.85, putting the tracked group at an average increase of 8.0%, though a percentage point is doing rather more dramatic work for Mirage than for the premium cards.

Biggest gainer: City of Souls (Foil): up 11%

Shadowverse Evolve

News: Shadowverse: Evolve’s official channels published an “Update to Restrictions,” while TCGPlayer highlighted the best Bushiroad-recommended decks in the game right now. Beyond those headlines, the available details are admirably silent.

Tournament: Abysscraft was the most represented archetype in this week’s Constructed tournament data at 20.6%, narrowly ahead of Swordcraft at 19.3%, while Runecraft followed at 12.5%. That is a concentrated lead, not a runaway metagame, with the top two crafts separated by just 1.3 percentage points.

Metrics: Milteo, Inseparable Love posted the sharpest move, rising 24% to $152.63, while Ren Suzugamori [The Dark Dictator] reached $101.66 after a 15% increase. The rest of the tracked gainers were more modest, led by Zoe, Shore's Melody at $15.40, Mysteria, Magic Founder at $15.30, and Jungle Pocket at $11.52, with the group averaging a 10.9% rise.

Biggest gainer: Milteo, Inseparable Love: up 24%

Riftbound

News: Riftbound.gg published a post-ban metagame tier list for Vendetta, along with Radiance coverage featuring the ultimate rare Packed Amphitheater and the set’s Overnumbered cards. At the Los Angeles Regional Qualifier, DSG Prismaticism earned a second RQ victory at 2026’s final Regional Qualifier, while Riftbound.gg reported the event’s Top 8 decks, metagame, popularity, win, and conversion rates, plus the Best-of Legends prizing decks.

Tournament: Constructed has a relatively spread-out top tier, with Master Yi, Wuju Bladesman leading at 9.1%, followed by Irelia, Blade Dancer at 7.4% and Kennen, Heart of the Tempest at 6%. The format’s clearest common ground is in its runes and interaction, with Chaos Rune appearing in 41.5% of decks, Calm Rune in 38.8%, and Defy in 38.6%, a reminder that even a varied field still has shared paperwork.

Metrics: Darius, Hand of Noxus is the standout mover at $14.99, up 150%, a dramatic jump that arrives without a verified catalyst attached to it. Ezreal, Prodigy, Alternate Art rose 37% to $9.09, while Zenith Blade reached $3.79, Calm Rune $6.10, and Body Rune $2.91, with the tracked group averaging a 26.6% increase, because apparently even the runes wanted a turn on the scoreboard.

Biggest gainer: Darius, Hand of Noxus: up 150%

Disney Lorcana

News: TCGPlayer Lorcana published a look at the best-selling cards in Disney Lorcana right now, alongside a separate roundup of the most expensive chase cards found in packs. The distinction is useful, since popularity and pack-opening rarity are related markets, but not the same story.

Metrics: Jasmine, Ephemeral Princess posted the largest move, rising 34% to $3.78, while Anna, Little Sister reached $5.60 after climbing 18%. The higher-priced Max Goof, Chart Topper rose 11% to $24.77, and the tracked movers averaged a 14.5% increase, a tidy upward snapshot with no single card doing all the talking.

Biggest gainer: Jasmine - Ephemeral Princess: up 34%

Digimon Card Game

Tournament: Olympos XII is the clear center of the Standard tournament field at 37.5%, far ahead of Time Strangers at 9.5% and Medusa at 7.7%. Aegiomon appears in 25.5% of decks, making it the most-played card listed, followed by Asuna Shiroki at 24.3% and Elecmon at 20.6%, which suggests a concentrated core beneath the leading archetype, because apparently the format enjoys making its point repeatedly.

Metrics: Izzy Izumi & Tai Kamiya climbed 31% to $10.88, the strongest move among the tracked cards, while Kudamon rose 23% to $3.38 and Minervamon gained 21% to $6.06. Dracomon reached $4.67 after a 17% increase, and MetalEtemon rose 12% to $3.94, putting the tracked movers at an average gain of 12.3%, a tidy little market twitch rather than a full evolutionary leap.

Biggest gainer: Izzy Izumi & Tai Kamiya (Alternate Art): up 31%

Star Wars: Unlimited

Tournament: Premier’s top archetypes are tightly grouped rather than dominated by one leader: Director Krennic leads at 13%, followed by Ahsoka Tano at 12.5% and Darth Maul at 10%. The format’s broadest common ground is in individual cards, with Koska Reeves appearing in 47% of decks and both Aggressive Negotiations and Chimaera appearing in 45%, suggesting shared staples across otherwise varied strategies.

Metrics: Moff Gideon, Remnant Commander led the tracked movers at $12.89, up 76%, while Jar Jar Binks, Mesa Propose reached $5.20, up 47%. Paz Vizsla, For a Brighter Future rose 16% to $8.39, helping push the group’s average move to +23.6%, which is a fairly loud week for a market that usually prefers plausible deniability.

Biggest gainer: Moff Gideon - Remnant Commander (Prestige Foil): up 76%

Gundam Card Game

News: Gundam Card Game is slated to appear at LUCCA COMICS & GAMES 2026 and SPIEL ESSEN 2026.

Tournament: Standard’s leading archetype is Shining Gundam, Master Gundam at 15.1% of decks, with Strike Freedom Gundam, Victory Gundam close behind at 13%, suggesting a competitive field with no single deck running away with the format. At the card level, Overflowing Affection appeared in 53.3% of decks and A Show of Resolve in 50.5%, while Kira Yamato reached 45.3%, making these the format’s most common tools rather than mere supporting cast.

Metrics: Darkness Finger and GFreD posted the largest percentage gains among the tracked cards, rising 25% to $5.00 and $3.75, respectively. Neo Zeong reached $20.00 after an 8% increase, while Resource climbed 10% to $3.85 and Gundam Exia Repair rose 9% to $3.80, for an average move of 12.8%, a tidy little parade with no verified catalyst attached.

Biggest gainer: Darkness Finger: up 25%
