Price Alerts
Price Alerts help you keep track of important cards without checking prices every day. When an alert triggers, MythicHub sends you an email alert and disables the alert so you won't get repeat notifications.
- Sign in to your MythicHub account.
- Open Markets → Price Alerts.
- Click Create, then choose:
- the card you want to track,
- the marketplace and finish,
- a target (specific printing or cheapest printing),
- a condition (target price or percent change).
- Save the alert. Enabled alerts are evaluated once per day (see the schedule below).
- 7am PST / 8am PDT
- 10am EST / 11am EDT
- 3pm GMT / 4pm BST
- 4pm CET / 5pm CEST
Every alert has a Target. This controls whether you track one specific card printing, or whether the alert follows the cheapest eligible printing over time.
Specific printing
- Tracks exactly the printing you selected (set + collector number), using your chosen finish.
- Best when you care about a particular version (example: a specific promo or frame treatment).
- Language isn't a configurable option for price alerts (it's chosen automatically, usually English).
Cheapest printing
- Tracks the lowest priced eligible printing of the card, for the chosen marketplace and finish.
- The specific printing being tracked can change over time as prices update.
- Cheapest printing is calculated separately per marketplace and per finish.
Alerts can trigger in two different ways. Choose the condition that matches what you're trying to do (buy-in targets vs volatility monitoring).
Target price
- Triggers when the price moves below or above your target price. MythicHub decides which one based on whether your target is below or above the current price at the time you set it.
- To reduce spammy alerts, MythicHub requires your target price to be a meaningful change from the current price:
- Cards under 10 (in the marketplace currency): at least 0.50 away
- Cards 10 and above: at least 1.00 away
Percent change
- Triggers when the daily percent change meets or exceeds your threshold.
- Percent change alerts trigger on movement in either direction (absolute).
- The minimum percent threshold is 3%.
When one or more of your alerts trigger, MythicHub sends an email alert that:
- shows what triggered and why,
- includes the latest price,
- links you back to the card and your alerts page.
Each account can have up to 50 alerts enabled at a time. Your Price Alerts page always shows your current enabled count and limit.
If you reach your limit, you can still create alerts and keep them disabled until you're ready to turn them on.
Still stuck? Email [email protected] and include the card name, marketplace, and the alert you tried to set.
