Sleight of Hand Price

Updated 2026-07-11

Sleight of Hand from 7th Edition is the preferred version of this one-mana blue cantrip for many players, allowing the caster to look at the top two cards of their library and keep one while placing the other on the bottom. The 7th Edition printing is sought for its distinctive card frame and the white-bordered style discontinued after Seventh Edition, appealing to players and collectors who favor early Magic aesthetics. Sleight of Hand is a four-of in numerous Legacy and Modern combo and tempo decks where cheap library manipulation is a strategic requirement, providing a strong and persistent player-demand floor. Foil copies of this card have long commanded premiums in the Legacy community; the non-foil 7th Edition version is prized for its frame and era rather than a foil finish. Price has been flat in both tracked periods. Watch format health in Legacy and Modern as the primary demand variable.
