Planeswalker Report

Hayden here, and I'm starting a new segment, which I've tentatively titled the "Planeswalker Report," in which I'll examine the current cost of Magic the Gathering Planeswalker cards (generally from sites around the internet). Ultimately, I'd like to be able to establish trends for the savvy collector, so here goes nothing:

#1: Jace, the Mind Sculptor
No surprise here, JtMS remains the top Planeswalker in terms of average cost.


Current Value: $65.27 Trending Down with a low end cost of around $41 (EBay)



#2: Liliana of the Veil
While I'm not surprised that LotV is high now, I don't expect this price to last long (despite a current upward trend). What's surprising about Liliana at the moment is the wild diversity in price. Some sites had her listed at almost $60, while others as low as $40. How high will she go before she peaks?


Current Value: $48.31 Trending Up with a low cost of $35 (EBay) and a high of $59 (MTGFanatic)



#3: Jace, Memory Adept
JMA continues to hold its value (surprisingly) considering (in my opinion) its rather limited scope of use.


Current Value: $31.73 Trending Steady with a low cost of $20 (EBay).


#4: Garruk, Primal Hunter
The primal hunter continues to trend downward, though not as quickly as the falls of Gideon Jura and Chandra, the Firebrand.


Current Value: $25.97 Trending Down with a low cost of $20 (Troll and Toad)



#5: Garruk Relentless///Garruk, the Veil-Cursed
The new double sided version of Garruk has already enjoyed several jumps and dips, and that was all prior to the Innistrad release.


Current Value: $25.31 Trending Down with a low cost of less then $20 (EBay)



#6: Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas $24.98 Trending Down with a lost cost of $18.99 (EBay)
#7: Koth of the Hammer $24.88 Trending Steady with a low cost of $14.99 (EBay)
#8: Chandra, the Firebrand $21.64 Trending Down with a low cost of $11.68 (EBay)
#9: Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker $20.81/(Duel Deck Version) $15.31 Trending Down with a low cost of $12.99 (Troll and Toad)/(Duel Deck Version) $9.35 (EBay)
#10: Venser the Sojourner $17.72 Trending Down with a low cost of $12 (EBay)

Perhaps you've noticed what I did about the Planeswalker market as a whole, its dropping steadily. With the exception of the of the two new Planeswalkers from Innistrad, which are enjoying the usual new release boom, all of the Planeswalkers are dropping, even the budget options. Jace Berelen is about the only Planeswalker enjoying anysort of a real upward trend, and is getting close to cracking the top 10. As an avid collector of Planeswalkers, I am very disappointed with this overall downward trend, especially when just a couple months ago Planeswalkers were booming.
