Avarice Totem Price

Updated 2026-10-11

Avarice Totem is an Uncommon from Fifth Dawn, one of the later sets in the Mirrodin block cycle. The card exchanges control of itself with target nonland permanent under an opponent's control, a reversible theft effect that enables specific combo patterns and political play in Commander. Its utility is niche but the design space is unusual enough to attract dedicated players. Price appreciation in the past ninety days shows two distinct windows of activity: a gain that arrived earlier in the quarter, followed by a separate uptick compressed entirely into the trailing seven days. That profile points to renewed discovery or a feature event driving a second move. Fifth Dawn had moderate distribution relative to more modern sets, and Near Mint copies of older uncommons like this can become scarce as casual collections age without active trading. The primary demand driver is Commander play in control and value-trading archetypes.
