Magic: The Gathering Card Price Spikes Due to Murders at Karlov Manor

​Magic: The Gathering’s first Standard set for 2024 is Murders at Karlov Manor. Releasing on February 9th, Murders at Karlov Manor follows Investigator Kellan, Kaya Cassir, and Alquist Proft's investigation into several murders on the plane of Ravnica. Can the trio solve the murder mystery by following clues and receiving assistance from unlikely allies? Players can dive further into the set's story, mechanics, and new-to-MTG cards by opening Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, Commander Precon Decks, and Ravnica: Clue Edition. 

Standard sets with returning mechanics synergize well with certain cards from older sets. Investigate is a returning mechanic in Murders at Karlov Manor, previously seen in Shadows Over Innistrad. Besides returning mechanics, Murders at Karlov Manor contains new cards with interesting abilities and creature types like Detective and Mole. As a result, a handful of Murders at Karlov Manor's new-to-MTG caused older cards to spike in price.
