The Hottest Moving Magic: The Gathering Singles — September 2025 Edition

September was a landfall-fueled frenzy for Magic: The Gathering speculators and collectors. With Standard rotation settling and Commander synergies popping off, several cards—some bulk, some mythic—saw explosive gains.

Here’s a snapshot of the hottest Magic: The Gathering singles for September 2025.

Landfall spikes Our Favorite Bear

Lumra, Bellow of the Woods  

• Increase: ~$9 → ~$27

• Why It’s Hot: This landfall-loving beast mills four and reanimates lands, fueling recursion loops with World Shaper’s Hearthull and Tannuk, Memorial Ensign. Graveyard decks are feasting.

Budget Shockers: Tiny Prices, Big Spikes

Valakut Exploration  

• Increase: ~$3 → ~$7

• Why It’s Hot: Burn and landfall decks are back. This enchantment exiles cards for damage and value, and it’s finding a home in Commander and Standard alike, even more so with the exile play hinted in the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender set.

Winged Hive Tyrant  

• Increase: ~$1.25 → ~$4.50

• Why It’s Hot: The Sonic crossover gave this Tyranid new life. Flying and haste for countered creatures plus Treasure generation? That’s a combo players are loving.

Mid-Tier Movers: Format & Combo Speculators

Nova Hellkite  

• Increase: ~$1 → ~$3.25

• Why It’s Hot: A breakout star in Temur Battlecrier and Mono-Red Aggro. Versatile, aggressive, and here to stay in Standard for the long haul.

Razorkin Needlehead  

• Increase: ~$4 → ~$8

• Why It’s Hot: Brennan Roy’s Mono-Red Aggro list made this a four-of. Paired with Screaming Nemesis, it’s dominating post-rotation Standard and driving demand.

TL;DR Snapshot

Tier	Top Movers	New Approximate Value
Budget Shockers	Valakut Exploration, Hive Tyrant	$7 / $4.50
Mid-Tier Spec	Nova Hellkite, Razorkin Needlehead	$3.25 / $8
A Big Mover	Lumra	$27

Why These Moves Matter

• Landfall and graveyard recursion are back in style. Lumra and Valakut Exploration are leading the charge.

• Crossovers like Sonic are creating unexpected synergies. Hive Tyrant is proof that flavor meets function.

• Standard rotation opened the door for new archetypes. Nova Hellkite and Needlehead are thriving in aggressive builds.
