Why do Magic the Gathering cards have different prices and why do they change so often?
I don't play Magic so I could be completely wrong, but from what I understand there are new sets of cards/rules released every 3 months or so. With each release the strength and value of all the existing cards change. Also, particular deck builds sometimes rise and fall in popularity.
The Short Answer
I don't play Magic so I could be completely wrong, but from what I understand there are new sets of cards/rules released every 3 months or so. With each release the strength and value of all the existing cards change. Also, particular deck builds sometimes rise and fall in popularity. So if a certain deck becomes popular one month then unpopular, that will change the value for all the cards in the deck and the cards you play against it.
