Check firstUnconfirmed source spike: primary marketplaces do not yet support the new candidate price.
Whenever Gollum attacks, look at the top two cards of your library, put them back in any order, then choose land or nonland. An opponent guesses whether the top card of your library is the chosen kind. Reveal that card. If they guessed right, remove Gollum from combat. Otherwise, you draw a card and Gollum can't be blocked this turn.

Sources, methodology, and disclosureOpen
NeoPrice and Pricing Confidence use the existing NeoCardAlpha methodology. CardTrader is the inventory source, TCGplayer is the primary pricing source, and Card Kingdom is validation-only.
NeoCardAlpha may earn a commission from certain marketplace links.
Card Kingdom retail validation is visible when a matching product is available, but it remains a validation source.
