Correspondingly tracking the metagame data for Legacy and Vintage was a good way to determine that. Looking at a price graph for Mycosynth Lattice, it is very easy to pinpoint two significant events that have affected the card: the spoiling of War of the Spark at the beginning of April 2019 and the actual release of the set a month later. Mycosynth Lattice continued to increase slowly but steadily once again, bringing it to its all-time high, when a reprint in Battlebond (June 2018) first sent it nosediving on a downward slope for the following 10 months before everything turned around. Following these upward jumps, the card price plateaued at its new level.
It nearly doubled around the time Dragon’s Maze came out on May 2013 and saw further sudden increases close to the release of Journey into Nyx on May 2014 and Aether Revolt on January 2017. Its price mostly crawled upwards slowly due to the card’s uniqueness and the fact that it had only been printed once. Its odd effects of turning every permanent into an artifact, making all cards not in play colorless, and letting everyone spend all their mana as if it was mana of any color made it unpopular. Once in a while, a new expansion would come out and make it a little stronger in Commander, which was the only place it really saw any play owning to its six-mana casting cost. Originally printed in the February 2004 expansion Darksteel, Mycosynth Lattice lived a quiet and little noticed life for most of its first 15 years.
