This is in 23,000 Commander decks online, a number I found stunning and then I realized that it’s fast, easy, combo-oriented mana. Mana Vault ($160): Again, we have an Invention for comparison’s sake, going for about $180. I’d expect it to settle in between $100 and $120. I’m willing to believe that there are going to be more Boxterpiece versions than Inventions printed, and I think that will lead to a slight decrease in this card’s price. The regular versions have gotten up to $60-$70, but my attention is on the Invention version at $160. It goes into any deck, and many many decks take advantage of this. This will be the third printing at uncommon, but this special version is used in enough places that I think $70 is a good and stable price.Įngineered Explosives ($140): One of the great tricks to this card is not just that it’s versatile, but it’s also precise at the same time. Kitchen Finks ($70): Another very popular sideboard card, this one is also used in more than a few infinite-life combos, in Modern and Commander. It’s a popular sideboard card in Modern, given that it’s a Stone Rain on legs, and I think $80 is going to hold. It was in Modern Masters 2015 as a mere rare, and the 2015 version put a lot more into circulation than the 2013 or 2017 editions. It’s not huge in Commander, not used in Modern, and so I’d expect it to end up below $50.įulminator Mage ($80): Remarkably, people have kept their heads on eBay for this card, not letting it go much over $100. Sigarda, Host of Herons ($70): Early auctions closed closer to $150, but there’s a copy of this still on TCG at $70…so it’s got farther to fall. It’s going to end up around the Invocation price, but hopefully higher, because I despise the illegible Invocations. That’s a lot of incidental supply over the years, and yet the value has stayed relatively steady. Maelstrom Pulse ($60): Let’s take a moment and reflect on how this was in Alara Reborn, and Modern Masters 2013, and then the GP promo, and an Invocation, and now this. The good news is that it’s just popular enough to not be the cheapest of the Boxterpieces, and it’ll trickle down into the $40 range. It’s potentially huge, yes, and awesome to sacrifice, but on its own it is quite meh. Lord of Extinction ($50): This was one of my pet cards for the longest time in Commander, but it needs help. The regular versions are going to take a beating, too, ending up at $10 or less. Original Conspiracy 2 foils are super pricey due to a very small supply, but I don’t think there will be enough demand to keep his price over $75. Ol’ Leo just isn’t popular, and I’m not sure who these folks are that are paying $150 for this version. In fact, let’s take a look at his price graph: Designed for Tiny Leaders. Two things have knifed this Elf in the back: Getting the Commander ban in April of last year, or Deathrite Shaman being banned in Legacy this past July. Leovold, Emissary of Trest ($150): Much of his early listings were for obscene numbers and then offers were accepted, but some closed above $200, he’s settled down here into $150, and I don’t know where the demand will come from. This version has farther to fall, likely to $60. All of the eBay auctions for him so far have ended up right at $80, but his non-promo price is much more due to the small supply than a great demand. Interestingly for his Boxterpiece price, he’s only in 400 EDH decks, and that’s the bigger surprise. Gaddock Teeg ($80): Did you know how frequently this big little guy shows up in Humans sideboards? And Bant Spirits? And Collected Company builds? I didn’t know he was this popular. Last week I started going through predictions for all the Ultimate Box Toppers, and I stopped at 1500 words.
