Ban day: what moved and what to pay
A Banned & Restricted update can turn a bulk rare into a hot commodity before your coffee cools. This page is the calm version: what changed, what it was worth before, what it costs now.
No new announcement yet. Next scheduled: Monday, Nov 30, 2026 (Wizards’ date). Wizards can also announce early if something breaks.
When it lands, this page lists every card that moved, its fair price from before the news, the market price after, and what we’d do about it.
Last announcement: Oct 12, 2026. Competitive Brawl changes on MTG Arena only. No tabletop format changed. Read it.
Don’t chase the first spike
Ban-day prices move in minutes and settle in weeks. Unbanned cards and newly hot staples tend to jump the moment the post goes up, then drift back as sellers relist. Banned cards usually drop, then find a floor from the formats where they’re still legal. Playing it this weekend? Fine, buy it. Otherwise, give it a week and let someone else pay the excitement tax.
Card legality comes from Wizards of the Coast’s announcements. Prices come from the same stored data as the rest of the site. How we price.
