Panoptic Mirror Price

Updated 2026-07-31

Panoptic Mirror from Darksteel is a five-mana artifact that imprints an instant or sorcery and then copies it during each of your upkeeps, an effect powerful enough that the card spent years on the Legacy and Vintage banned and restricted lists. It sees play in Commander as a value engine with non-broken instants and sorceries. Darksteel was printed in moderate quantities as part of the Mirrodin block in 2004, and original Near Mint copies have thinned through use and attrition. The thirty-day window shows a mild price decline with a flat seven-day reading, consistent with slow, quiet selling rather than urgent liquidation. The card has never been reprinted in a mainstream set, keeping supply fixed. Its Commander niche is real but not large enough to drive upward momentum. This is a hold for set completionists and Commander niche players, not a growth position.
