Daily reference pricing

How prices are calculated

The store uses an external exact-printing reference, then applies Mana Source pricing rules in Philippine pesos.

ClassificationDefault ruleHow identified
Regular cardExact USD reference ×50Default classification
Commander stapleExact USD reference ×60Game Changer or configurable EDHREC rank threshold
Standard stapleConfigurable premiumAdmin classification until a reliable play-rate source is integrated
Manual / collectibleAdmin-defined pricePrice lock for special or high-value cards

The final system also applies condition adjustments, minimum prices, rounding, manual locks, and price-change safety checks. A large movement can remain pending for admin review instead of publishing automatically.
