Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box clears stepped down hard and Chaos Rising boxes cooled further. Main-set supply is overtaking the premium summer print — a supply story, not a call to chase the dump.
How the market was
A week into Pitch Black’s live window, early clears give way to a steeper step-down. Pitch Black ETBs move from about ~$105 toward the ~$80s. Chaos Rising boxes cool from about ~$225 toward ~$189.
Ascended Heroes ETBs hold about ~$171–178 as keep-sealed money beside the main-set supply wave.
Week over week vs Issue 16: bifurcation hardens into main-set supply overtakes. No Celebration. A supply story, not a call to chase the dump.
