Sorcery's Gothic Set Is Down 4.3 Percent Since Release

Published November 7, 2026

Every gothic horror movie has the scene where the realtor swears the house is fine while something drags itself across the attic floor upstairs. Sorcery's Gothic set has spent a year doing the same bit: insisting it's fine, mostly, while the numbers occasionally disagree. Of its 859 priced cards, 320 are tracked closely enough to move week to week: 56 rose, 79 fell, and the group still netted a 0.8 percent gain on a combined $18,255.98. The realtor was telling the truth, mostly. Price window: 2026-10-31 to 2026-11-07, ungraded market prices.

“Tracked” cards are those with a market price on both ends of the week and worth at least $5 at the start; cheaper cards are left out because a few cents of movement reads as a large, meaningless percentage.

The Most Expensive Cards Are Also the Stillest

The set's six most valuable cards are Unique foils priced $296.33 to $896.70, and none sold a single copy last week. Five sat flat at 0.0 percent this week, while Archangel Raphael managed 0.5 percent. The model's one-month calls barely separate, 0.2 to 2.0 percent, but six-month calls spread from 9.5 percent for Raphael to 64.3 percent for Archangel Michael, known for putting Satan in his place. A 64.3 percent call is a big ask for a card that did nothing all week.

Archangel Michael: weekly move 0.0 percent, price $896.70, mood unreadable.

Big Weekly Gains Did Not Impress the Model Itself

This week's top riser is The Doom of Dilmun, up 26.1 percent to $208.19; Putrid Presence, The Rack, and Sister Stefania followed, up 9.2 to 17.0 percent. The model is unimpressed: one-month calls for the group run 0.4 to 2.3 percent, and The Rack's six-month call is negative, at -1.9 percent. On the way down, Archangel Samael, cast as the angel of death, dropped 16.1 percent, which is at least on brand. Tabula Rasa, Doctor Demetrius, and Horns of Behemoth fell 8.9 to 12.9 percent, and the model expects most of that to stick.

The Rack: up 13.2 percent this week, expected to cool to 2.0.

Every Rarity Sat Still at a Different Price

Every rarity tier in Gothic, whether 212 Uniques or 224 Ordinaries, posted the same weekly move: 0.0 percent. Unique cards carry a median price of $48.62, Elite sits at $6.17, and the bottom two rarities nearly collapse into each other: Exceptional cards have a median of $0.72, Ordinary cards $0.49. Being Exceptional, in other words, buys you 23 cents over being Ordinary. Nothing moved this week, at any rarity, for any reason the facts can name.

Exceptional: 72 cents. Ordinary: 49 cents. Choose your tragedy.

A Toolbox Outsold an Actual Gothic Novel

Total sales fell from 3,560 copies the week before to 2,212, a 37.9 percent drop, spread across 1,275 different cards. The best seller was Toolbox, 75 copies at $5.13, which is a deeply unglamorous object to be the top performer in a set called Gothic. Deep Sea, River of Blood, and Hyperparasite filled out the rest of the top sellers, while Mountain Peaks collapsed from 81 copies the week before to 23. Wuthering Heights, an actual gothic novel, sold 20 copies at $12.21: outsold by a toolbox. We would have bet on the novel.

Toolbox: this week's best seller, outselling an actual gothic novel.

The Set Climbed Back From a 36.3 Percent Low

Since the index started tracking Gothic's broad release-day pricing on 2025-12-01, the set has touched both extremes: a peak of 1.6 percent above that starting line and a trough of -36.3 percent below it. As of today it sits at -4.3 percent, meaning the set clawed back more than thirty points from its low without ever quite getting back to even. That is the shape of the whole haunted house: nearly collapses, doesn't, settles into something you'd still rather not be alone in.

The index: up 1.6 at the peak, down 36.3 at the bottom, now down 4.3.

Most of This Set Costs Less Than a Dollar

Of the 859 priced cards in Gothic, 327 cost less than a dollar and another 213 cost between $1 and $5, meaning well over half the set is cheaper than a vending machine snack. The middle of the ladder thins out fast: 155 cards sit between $5 and $20, and just 52 land between $20 and $50. If you came for the horror, you're paying less than a dollar for most of it. At the top, 57 cards run $50 to $100 and 55 break $100, which is the entire chase list and its understudies.

327 cards under a dollar. Zero of them chase cards.

A year on, Gothic sits 4.3 percent underwater, the chase cards sold zero copies between them, and every rarity logged the same number this week. Nothing moved. The house is fine, probably.
