Are there any cards you are picking up because of one or more of the War of the Spark previews? Also, I forgot to mention Sulfur Falls is also losing value because there are 3 copies in the Arcane Tempo Challenger Deck and Vampiric Tutor depicted in the video is from Eternal Masters.

[easyerb]

I was just thinking to myself how badly I needed this week's MarketWatch right now! No joke...

[Aldrnari]

This is the first set since Theros that I'm going to buy a box. Because of that, I'm starting down that promo Tezzeret and thinking about a Breya build for edh. My Feather deck is done save for a copy Feather herself. This set has me looking at putting together more decks than I thought it would.

[swordoflorn]

This show puts me in such a good mood.

[MrRuff-cclg]

A Viking MtG set?! That would be so bad ass!

[charlesyun]

Your Market Watch makes me happy because I can glee over my well-bought investments (Commander jewels like your 0 drop rocks) and the fetchlands.

[jordangarner]

I just picked up tithe yesterday talk about coincidence. Keep up the good work. I love the market watch gives me an idea on what to add to my big money trade binder.

[Juzamdan]

John can you possibly focus more on Vintage or even give the category it’s own market watch seems like commander dominates the whole weekly update while a subset like dual lands takes up all the slots
In the category this week

[MrVariant]

I love when new sets make cards like Ugin's Conjurant which makes Celestial Kirin a lot better. That's game design done right.

[sadnibba]

Love your videos man, even if they give me fomo pretty often.

[jcm]

I’m guessing Sulfur Falls is also going down because there’s 3 in each Arcane Tempo challenger deck.

[rodrigodamian]

Damn, just went away from Magic for about 6 to 7 months and the cards that spiked are so weird. It feels like a totally different environment.

[richardboss]

Mox Opal could be dropping now because of the judge foil reprint. Not that those type of reprints make any huge difference, but it could be part of the reason.

[dillonj]

Wait vedalken orrery got a mention in the command zone podcast this week?!?!? (Just being a stinker, great video as always!)

[NerdPhil]

That's the lowest Rekindling Phoenix has ever been! The card is still a strong powerhouse in standard and Gruul is about to get even better with War of the Spark! This is amazing!

[bluedemonnn]

Opened 5 Eternal Masters packs today and pulled a Mana Crpyt! Love these market watches!

[nicolasporretta]

16:38 Vamp Tutor from Ultimate master? Don’t think so;)

[bismyan]

Where was Sen Triplets mentioned in this video?
The thumbnail seems to indicate they were somewhere.

[kolbistepper]

Where did you see prices for crypt go up to $300? Tcg still has media promo at 230

[buddatello]

Blightsteel also got hot from ilharg the red God pig
