Modern’s ban fallout is doing exactly what you would expect, with Umezawa's Jitte and Violent Outburst rocketing from forgotten relics to hot commodities, while Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury and Lotus Field head the other direction, according to [Wargamer](https://www.wargamer.com/magic-the-gathering/may-bans-price-changes). The more eyebrow raising story is still cardboard cats, since the full Cats Are The Best Superdrop packs a suspiciously high density of real Commander staples like Queen Marchesa and Boseiju, Who Shelters All into limited, meme friendly packaging, per [Star City Games](https://articles.starcitygames.com/magic-the-gathering/full-contents-of-secret-lair-cats-are-the-best-superdrop-revealed/). MTGGoldfish’s 11 minute tour of every Standard ban, from 1995 to Vivi Ornitier, is a nice historical reminder that whenever Wizards swings the hammer this hard, prices and formats both wobble for a while before anyone pretends it was all inevitable in hindsight, according to [MTGGoldfish](https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/every-mtg-standard-ban-ever-explained-in-11-minutes).
