MTG Modern Staples Worth Scanning Right Now
Modern's price landscape shifts fast. Here are the cards Scryda users are scanning most — and what the current market data says about their value.
Modern is one of the most price-volatile formats in Magic. Cards spike hard, they crash hard, and missing a window by a week can cost you serious money. Here’s what the data from Scryda users is telling us right now.
The cards being scanned most in Modern
Based on aggregate scan data across the Scryda user base, these cards are getting the most attention from collectors right now:
Fury (Modern Horizons 2)
Evoke elementals define Modern, and Fury is central to every red-based strategy. Despite bans and unbans in the format, Fury remains a staple.
Current price range (NM): $28–$38 regular · $90–$120 foil
Solitude (Modern Horizons 2)
The white evoke elemental. Sees play in practically every white-based midrange and control deck.
Current price range (NM): $32–$44 regular · $95–$130 foil
Murktide Regent
The defining threat of UR Murktide — one of the most consistently successful Modern decks over the past three years.
Current price range (NM): $18–$25 regular · $55–$70 foil
How to use Scryda’s price history for Modern
The 90-day price chart on any card is your best tool for spotting entry points. Modern prices respond heavily to tournament results — a GP or Pro Tour top 8 can move a card 40% in a weekend.
Set a price alert in Scryda on cards you want to buy, and you’ll get notified when they dip to your target without having to watch the market manually.
Foils vs. non-foils in Modern
Modern players generally prefer non-foil for play copies since foils warp in sleeves. That creates a consistent premium on non-foils from a playability perspective, even when foils are worth more nominally.
When scanning a collection with both versions, Scryda correctly identifies the print and variant — including Extended Art, Borderless, and Retro Frame — so you always see the right price.
