Marketplace disagreement
The Hobbit pushed Magda higher because Smaug and Thorin both want its Treasure engine, but today's sources still disagree on what the regular copy should cost. Fresh U.S. sales reporting captured roughly $1.69 Near Mint, CardTrader shows a $3.82 U.S. reference, and Cardmarket still has 1,775 regular copies with a much lower euro price trend.

Marketplace disagreement
A same-day report captured Alchemist's Talent selling around $19 to $23 after a buyout, but current marketplace pages are much lower and show meaningful supply. Smaug demand is real; the current price is not clean enough to trust without reconciling the timestamps and sources.

Marketplace disagreement
Smaug is pushing Blazing Sunsteel higher on the TCGplayer side, but CardTrader still shows more than one hundred offers starting far lower. That makes the spike real enough to check but the scarcity claim much harder to trust across marketplaces.

Marketplace disagreement
Rain of Riches has a real Hobbit deckbuilding reason behind the attention. Smaug and Thorin decks can use the two Treasures immediately, then turn Treasure mana into a cascade spell, but the available versions do not tell one clean price story.
