Uchuulon has climbed again after giving back part of its initial summer move. MTG Rocks reports just under 750 near-mint copies sold since the early-August reveals of Homer, the Hermit and Uugguu, the Omniplasm. The accompanying six-month chart shows a large initial sales burst and smaller sales bars across subsequent months. That makes the renewed move more substantial than an isolated spike in asking prices, though the chart cannot tell us why individual buyers made a purchase.
The chart’s near-mint indicator is $7.88. The article separately reports a $7.79 starting ask and 17 listings on TCGplayer at the time it checked. Those figures describe different things: the market indicator summarizes pricing, the lowest listing is a seller’s ask, and the sales bars show completed volume. The article’s headline uses a different starting point from the chart, so the two percentage figures should not be treated as interchangeable. The trajectory is clearer than either percentage alone: the card moved up after the August reveals, retraced to around $3.28 in the article’s account, then rose into November.
The demand case has two concrete links. Uchuulon shares a relevant type with each of the new commanders’ plans and creates more of itself while exiling cards from an opponent’s graveyard. EDHREC independently lists about 3,840 Homer decks including Uchuulon (72%) and 3,300 Uugguu decks including it (63%). These are deck registrations, not purchases; their value is in showing a card-specific use for demand rather than explaining every sale.
Liquidity is still uneven. The report puts the near-mint extended-art variant at about $5.94 and describes supply there as thin. That is evidence that the standard printing’s price does not apply evenly across versions. A few listings returning to the market could move the lowest ask, and the earlier retracement shows that part of a gain can unwind. Future typal support could change demand and a reprint could change supply, but neither is needed to explain the evidence already in the chart.
