The spike of Simian Spirit Guide

Economics forum

Simian Spirit Guide price seems to be spiking (it's still at a decent price level compared to most other cards).

What do you think? Is this a temporary rise or may it stick at this new price? (it's been climbing quite steadily over the years according to the tcg price chart)

Temporary rise because of pro tour hype, it's a common it'll eventually go down a bit and stay at the 3-5 dolar range.

I think it's because Grishoalcannon is the only combo left in modern.

The_Dragonmaster No, it's because the Eldrazi decks played 4 and would pitch them on T1 for a T1 chalice on 1. It's pretty dumb, but that's the reason.

Well, it's still now the only combo deck left in modern for Johnny's like me :O

The_Dragonmaster Scapeshift, Knightfall, Storm, and Ascendancy are still very relevant combos. lol I swear, everyone is so mad Twin got banned, there are more combos!

I had someone propose a trade to me yesterday for his Simian Spirit Guide and he wanted my Canopy Vista and Thoughtseize.. After I questioned him he pointed out the price spike.. I lol'd and said thanks anyways. Simian Spirit Guide is a good card but it is a good $5 card and will head back down that way soon enough
