Card story
Ekko and Stacked Deck are banned. Did card prices move?
Two September 18 bans may change deck demand, but price movement requires comparable observations.

Which cards and formats?
Riot banned Ekko, Recurrent and Stacked Deck in Standard and Constructed 2v2 from September 18, 2026. This does not mean every card named Ekko is banned, or that the ban applies to every format.
Possible demand is not measured movement
A ban can affect deck choices and demand. To claim a price change, compare the same printing, market and metric before and after the announcement. A changed asking price is not proof of a changed completed-sale price.
Check your own card
Search by name and number, then match set, language, finish and observation date. Do not mistake another Ekko product for Ekko, Recurrent. Save an unidentified card to check after later market-data refreshes.
