Cards are typically priced based on the market average i.e., the average price it’s being sold for across thousands of resellers like local game stores, individual players, and big organizations like ChannelFireball. Prices aren’t set by any grand establishment. Nobody is buying Talas Warrior to put in a deck, so selling it is extremely difficult compared to a card of high demand with a relatively equal price, like Mystic Remora. These prices are inflated and not an accurate depiction of the market.
There are cards that are rare because they were printed long ago, like Talas Warrior, that carry significant prices despite being totally undesired across all formats. The simplest answer to this question is that cards that are not only desired but also rare enough to warrant a higher price from lack of supply are worth the most.
My goal today is to go in-depth on each of these areas and give specific explanations as to how each one impacts the final price. All these factors combined result in a card’s final value and how much players are willing to buy and sell it for. If it’s on the reserved list and won’t ever be reprinted, that further increases its price since its supply is limited, regardless of increasing demand. The card’s artist signature or alterations can also either increase or decrease its worth. A rare card that’s also a playset staple in a popular format has extreme value.
