Persecute Price

Updated 2026-07-13

Persecute from 7th Edition forces a target player to reveal their hand and discard all cards sharing a color chosen by the controller. The effect is powerful in Commander when directed at a known color-dependent build, stripping a player of the majority of their hand in a single action. The 7th Edition printing is notable as one of the last white-border core sets before Wizards of the Coast transitioned to black borders with 8th Edition in 2003. Collectors targeting white-border Magic sets have developed a distinct market segment around 7th Edition as the terminal entry in that aesthetic lineage. The 7th Edition white border and the specific art version give this card a collector identity separate from more recent black-border reprints. Price has been flat in the observed window. Demand is split between Commander players who want the effect and white-border collectors who value the set identity. No reprint has been announced.
