GREAT question, I wish I answered it in the article! It helped Burn a lot, since the deck can splash for Boros Charm or Atarka’s Command more inexpensively. Outside of that, there were few decks that benefited directly because the enemy colors are the strongest in Modern.

Splinter Twin comes to mind. While the Khans lands made the manabase potentially $400 cheaper, so many other elements of that deck have risen since. I look at Exarch hitting $4 and Snapcaster pushing north of $70 as examples. I’d say that the price-of-deck threshold only dipped for awhile until the market probably corrected it right back up.

It did rise in price due to Living End, not because any of the decks you mentioned.

How do you think the market has reacted to the more affordable fetches from KTK?

I remember playing it as a 1-of in Melira Pod back in the first few months of Modern, but it was probably $4 at that time. I seem to remember Living End getting popular before it really saw 4-of adoption in Jund sideboards. It’s definitely still in demand, but my premise was that it was Living End that originally pushed it up and not Jund.
