I was trying to trade for a Karn Liberated (that is how much i had got it for ~5 months ago) so i said it was $15. He wasn't sure so he showed me this and my jaw dropped. Is Tron that popular now? Why the sudden increase in price? Now looking around, Wurmcoil Engine has also increased in price.
It's in the top 8 most played decks that get top 8 in Modern. 5% in the last two months and it's usually a 4-of.

That added to the fact that everyone who used to play Pod in modern is under the impression that pod will / could be banned, they're switching over to GR tron. So you'll see things like Karn, Wurmcoil, and grove of the burnwillows shoot up in price.

Junds SB kills tron. Too bad it's too expensive to just go out and buy, lol.
Although, I am upset that grove will shoot up. I need four for legacy Jund.

Every Tron piece has skyrocketed in price. Wurmcoil, Kozilek, Ulamog, Emrakul, Karn, etc. It's ridiculous.

I bought my Karn for $30 and my Kozilek for $25. I feel happy now.

1) It's Modern season
2) Every Birthing Pod player thinks it's going to be banned, so they jumped over to Tron.

I'm just sad at the b&r speculation. Nothing in the meta suggests that Birthing Pod should be banned and same for any other card speculated at. Just cause it wins isn't the reason for the bannings. It's how much they warp the format. The format is healthy and banning it would just be banning to ban. Now as a person who owns 5 Karn Liberated , YAY! keep up the speculation.

I finally managed to trade back for the very same Karn that I got swindled out of a year ago when I first started trading.

I bought two when they were $25 a piece and now wish I got more. On the same note what happened with Damnation ? Those are following the same trend.

Short answer: Yes. Tron is that popular.
