idk why, but specifically Master of the Pearl Trident and other merfolk cards have hiked up close to 4x what i bought them for a year ago. can anyone explain this?

Reel Fish won the VIntage Eternal Weekend Championship. Fish is also a popular Modern and Legacy deck, since it's relatively inexpensive to buy.
