Urza's Saga rose from 12.01 to 18.30 tix on MTGO between October 31 and November 7, 2026, while Mox Ruby climbed from 6.97 to 9.65 tix and Land Grant fell from 14.58 to 10.92 tix. All 3 finished at an extreme of their listed 30-day price histories: highs for the first 2, a low for Land Grant.
Those gains ran against a falling market. MTGO prices lost 2.3% in the week ending November 7, extending their 30-day decline to 4.4%; paper prices slipped 0.4% for the week. MTGO's decline was within its ordinary weekly range over the preceding 12 weeks, rather than a sudden market-wide break.

Its Modern presence has grown over several weeks. Urza's Saga appeared in 88 of 395 published decks in the week of October 12, compared with 114 of 379 in the week of November 2, a move from 22.3% to 30.1%. Broodscale accounted for 202 of its appearances across the 4-week sample, followed by Affinity with 89 and Amulet Titan with 76.
But the latest week's count across Legacy, Modern and Vintage fell from 233 published decks to 212. The longer Modern trend gives the price move a tournament backdrop; the immediate weekly figures do not show a fresh surge in play. The physical card also moved the other way, from $33.03 on October 31 to $32.46 on November 7.
Mox Ruby Rises Without a Usage Surge
Mox Ruby's price history shows its climb was underway by November 1, when it reached 7.44 tix from 6.97 tix on October 31. It reached 8.65 tix on November 2, passed 9 tix on November 3 and arrived at 9.65 tix on November 6, holding that price on November 7. That was its highest listed reading in the 30-day window.

Vintage use remained broadly steady: Mox Ruby appeared in 43 of 64 published decks, or 67.2%, in the week of November 2. Its shares in the preceding 3 full weeks were 64.5%, 70% and 63.4%. Jewel Shops, Initiative and Raker Shops supplied its largest appearance counts over the sample, so this was an already widespread card becoming more expensive, without a matching jump in its share of decks.
It was not the only Vintage staple gaining ground. Black Lotus rose from 59.51 tix on October 31 to 77.02 tix on November 7, despite its published-deck count falling from 96 to 87.
Land Grant Reaches a 30-Day Low
Land Grant's decline began earlier than the headline week. Its price history lists 17.76 tix on October 9, 16.48 tix on October 17 and 14.87 tix on October 24. From 14.58 tix on October 31, it fell to 13.10 tix on November 1, then 11.98 tix on November 4 and 10.92 tix on November 7, its lowest listed reading over the window.
Recent Pauper play fluctuated rather than building steadily. Land Grant appeared in 18 of 223 published decks in the week of October 12, fell to 6 of 188 the following week, recovered to 14 of 217, then finished at 10 of 181 in the week of November 2. Spy Combo and Elves accounted for 50 of its 51 appearances across the listed sample.
Other Pauper cards also fell sharply that week, even with more published appearances. Mental Note dropped from 8.04 to 3.83 tix between October 31 and November 7 while its deck count increased from 15 to 22. Envelop fell from 3.86 to 0.90 tix as its count rose from 18 to 22.
