Diabolic Intent Price

Updated 2026-08-25

Diabolic Intent is a two-mana black sorcery from Battlebond that tutors any card from library to hand at the cost of sacrificing a creature, making it one of the most mana-efficient tutors in Commander given its low casting cost relative to the power of unconditional card access. The card sees widespread Commander play in black-inclusive builds that generate creature tokens or have recursive creatures available for sacrifice, making the drawback minimal relative to the benefit. Near-mint copies have appreciated approximately 2.05% over the past month and 11.77% over the past 90 days, a steady upward trajectory consistent with growing Commander demand and the Battlebond printing's lack of further reprint in subsequent widely distributed products. The Battlebond printing remains a preferred version for many players given its Commander-oriented set context. Continued appreciation at this pace would suggest the card is entering a higher demand tier as Commander adoption increases and available Battlebond supply contracts over time.
