As far as I can tell the reason for this sudden increase in demand is Hashaton, Scarab's Fist (borderless), the most played Commander from Aetherdrift, which is the only Commander deck in which Sister Hospitaller sees heavy play combined with hype for the Final Fantasy commander Terra, Herald of Hope where it offers a weird loop with Karmic Guide and a sacrifice outlet
I am totally open to the possibility that blue decks just need permission that badly
But wait theres more
What makes Mewtwo collecting so compelling is the character's unique and multifaceted position in the franchise: powerful enough to be feared, complex enough to be sympathized with, tragic enough to be remembered, and iconic enough to drive demand across every era and every format of the hobby

Typically, however, the investment required is only six packs, which is about $30 even today
