I feel different. I think {Bonfire of the Damned} is going back up. It's more splashible. Also, {Devil's Play} is seeing more action. They're both Rares, bonfire is mythic.

Woah wtf i just saw {Thundermaw hellkite}!
Whats the deal with that?!
Best red card so far

Looks like his going up in value again

Red and Green have the best cards in Standard, ({Thragtusk}, {Thundermaw Hellkite}, {Bonfire of the Damned}) with Gatecrash they get better mana fixing.

Thoughts on  {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}'s price drop? He's sure to raise some later, but he's still good why is he almost as low as  {Liliana of the Dark Realms}?

3 for 1's all over the place. That's gonna be annoying once {Stomping Ground} hits the scene.

And if Domri Rade is real, card advantage.

:o When was the last time you checked??  It's been at a pretty solid price for a little while.

Go by the average, not by the high price. The low:average:high of TCGPlayer (where iMtG gets its price readings from) works by posting a mass number of reported sales of that card in a given time. The low is lowest sale recorded (makes sense right?), the high is the highest, and the average is the mathematic average of the sum of all numbers. The low can get distorted if a place sells a card for too little (gets ripped off) and the high can get distorted if a sale rips off a customer. Or if a number gets messed up somehow. I've seen a $9.00 card listed at $9900 high before.

When a card gets a faulty price listing like this, TCGPlayer fixes it by removing the 1 price posting that is skewing everything. It takes time for such mistakes to be noticed, reported, and fixed.  What you saw with {all is dust} was more than likely one of these bugs - someone sold it for $10.00 and entered $100.00. TCGPlayer fixed it by removing that entry.
