Reviewed Reports
Thranduil has passed 4,400 decks, and Buried Alive is still in nearly three out of four lists because it can load the Elf abilities the commander needs for combo lines. The repeated package is becoming clearer after release instead of disappearing with preview hype.
This format was part of the play context.
What to check next: Track Buried Alive, Devoted Druid, Zameck Guildmage, Incubation Druid, Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Marwyn, and Elrond by exact printing for seller count, listing depth, recent TCGplayer sales, CardTrader inventory, and marketplace agreement. Keep the trend classified as player decklist movement until those market checks actually change.
Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
Thranduil has become The Hobbit's most-built new commander, and Buried Alive is showing up in nearly three out of four lists for a specific reason. It can put the Elf abilities Thranduil needs for its combo directly into the graveyard instead of functioning as generic graveyard value.
This format was part of the play context.
What to check next: Watch Buried Alive, Devoted Druid, Zameck Guildmage, Incubation Druid, Marwyn, Priest of Titania, and Elrond by exact printing for seller count, listing depth, recent sales, CardTrader inventory, and marketplace agreement. Keep this labeled player decklist movement until direct market evidence confirms that the 4,139-deck Thranduil wave is affecting supply or price.
Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
Kinnan cEDH lists are getting faster and more flexible. Shang-Chi gives mana creatures immediate use, while Flash Photography, Whir of Invention, Snapback, and Commandeer add instant-speed value or free interaction.
This format was part of the play context.
What to check next: Check current Kinnan inclusion growth, exact printing, finish, old foil supply, seller count, listing depth, completed sales, marketplace agreement, and price confidence.
Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
Sami is doing more than casual artifact value. Two recent cEDH finishes show the deck can turn mana rocks and ritual effects into free colorless spells, then draw through the deck with Mystic Forge or Experimental Frenzy.
This format was part of the play context.
What to check next: Check repeated event results, exact card versions, seller count, listing depth, recent sales, marketplace agreement, price confidence, and which support cards appear in both Sami lists.
Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
