A card’s market price only tells you part of the story. Two cards can both say “$2.50” while one has 200 copies listed and sells daily, and the other has 2 copies listed and hasn’t sold in a month. Hoard now reads that second layer — how many copies are actually for sale, how often the card really sells, and whether buyers just cleared the listings — and uses it across the dashboard. This page covers what you’ll see and what you can do with it. Everything here works per card, with no setup required.

​
Badges on the Movers tab

Mover rows (and the top-mover hero card) carry a badge when the card’s market deserves a second look:
  • BOUGHT OUT · 2H AGO — buyers just cleared the listings for this card. The price is moving right now. The badge always reflects the market at this moment, with its own timestamp — it isn’t tied to the time window you’re viewing, so you’ll see it on a 30-day view if the buy-out happened this morning.
  • 2 LISTED — only that many copies are listed in your card’s condition. With this few for sale, the lowest listing price doesn’t mean much — one seller’s odd price can define the whole “market.”
Rows with no badge either have a healthy market or no depth data yet. Hover any badge for the one-line explanation.

​
When Hoard holds a price change

Hoard’s repricing engine declines to make certain risky moves: a big drop on a cheap card when only a couple of copies are listed, or any move while a card is being bought out. Before, this happened silently. Now it tells you:
  • “Why this price?” (on any order line, or in the price audit) shows a Price change held note when the most recent repricing pass skipped a move on that card — with the reason in plain terms, like “Hoard skipped a price change to $0.87 — only 2 Near Mint copies are listed, too few to trust that price.”
  • The held move isn’t lost — the next repricing pass re-evaluates with fresh data.
This protects you from the classic thin-market trap: chasing one stray 0.87listingdownwhenthecardactuallysellsfor0.87 listing down when the card actually sells for 1.30.

​
The buy-out action on Today

When a card you own gets bought out and Hoard held a price change on it, an action appears at the top of your Today tab:
Bought out: Lightning Bolt — buyers just cleared the listings and the price is moving QA Set · Near Mint · listed 1.50⋅sellsaround1.50 · sells around 2.40 · sellers left ask $5.00
Two one-tap responses:
  • Raise to $2.40 — the safer move, anchored to what the card has actually been selling for.
  • Ask $5.00 — match what the remaining sellers are asking. More aggressive; you’re betting the spike holds.
Either choice sets the new price and locks it, so the next sync’s market data (which may still reflect the pre-buy-out market) can’t drag your price back down while things settle. Unlock the card from its row whenever you’re ready to let automatic repricing take over again — see Price locking. Dismissing the action hides it until something new happens to that card.

​
Pricing power suggestions

When a card sells steadily, has few copies listed, and your listing sits well below the next one, Hoard surfaces a Pricing power suggestion on the Today tab’s Suggestions list:
Thin Market Card sells steadily and only 6 copies are listed — you’re $1.03 under the next listing.
The suggestion shows your current price, the suggested price, and the evidence: how many sold in the last 30 days, how many are listed, and the gap to the next listing. Tapping Raise applies the suggested price immediately — no preview step, since the exact price is already on the card. The suggestion only ever raises; it will never tell you to lower a price. See Smart Actions for how suggestions work in general — accepting, dismissing, and feedback.

​
Watching a card

Some cards deserve standing attention — a Commander banlist card that could be unbanned, a spec box you’re timing, anything you’d normally “price high and forget.” Watch it instead:
  1. Open the card’s detail panel (click it anywhere — Cards, Movers, search).
  2. In the Repricing row, tap Watch (the eye icon).
Watched cards get fresh market data every couple of hours, so a spike or buy-out on a watched card surfaces the morning it happens — as a badge, a held price change, or a buy-out action — instead of days later or never. Tap Watching to stop.

​
Hoard watches some cards for you

Without any setup, Hoard automatically watches the cards most likely to matter to you right now:
  • Sealed product you have in stock
  • Anything you’ve sold in the last two weeks — you likely have more copies and a live pricing question
  • Anything you’ve listed in the last week — new listings benefit most from fresh market data
Auto-watches lapse on their own as the activity ages out. Manual watches stay until you remove them. If you unwatch a card that Hoard auto-watched, it may reappear on the next refresh while the underlying reason still holds (you still stock the sealed product, the sale is still recent).

​
Finding your watched cards

Two ways:
  • Type is:watched in the Cards search bar. It composes with everything else — is:watched game:magic, is:watched price>20.
  • Or flip the Watched toggle in the Cards filter panel (next to Price Locked) — it’s a shortcut for the same search.

​
Checking a card’s market on demand

In the card detail panel’s Repricing row, Check market depth asks your agent to fetch the card’s live listings and sales on its next pass. Use it when you’re about to make a pricing call on a card and want current numbers rather than waiting for the routine refresh. If the data is already fresh, the button tells you so. The button appears when your Hoard agent is up to date enough to handle the request — if you don’t see it, update your agent.
