Pulse: Nocturne - Horrifying stole the spotlight at +565.6%
Market Mood: NeutralSummary
Nocturne, Horrifying from Riftbound takes the marquee with a reported +565.6%, the kind of move you usually only see when a tiny out-of-print supply finally meets a few determined buyers. Without a big tournament or new combo to blame, this looks more like a thin market getting repriced than a sudden epiphany about Riftbound tech. In more familiar territory, Will-o'-the-Wisp is up 194.9% in Magic, which is either a nostalgia rush or a lot of people deciding they urgently need a 1-mana 0/1 with a good story attached. Broader market ripples are coming from a mix of organic curiosity and classic buyout behavior. Geargiano Mk-II (Red) is up 221.1% in Yu-Gi-Oh!, while Leogun and Nuvia the Wicked both ping critical-severity buyout alerts, old, low-supply cards where a few carts emptied can rewrite the price history overnight. One Piece keeps humming, with Gum-Gum Giant Sumo Slap up 201.6% and Gravity Blade Raging Tiger up 181.7%, likely more real play demand than stunt. Meanwhile, Blackwing, Kalut the Moon Shadow (Platinum Secret Rare) is flagged for a -31.1% slide, a reminder that not every spike gets a happy sequel.
