Empress Galina Price

Updated 2026-08-10

Empress Galina from Invasion is a blue rare with a unique steal effect: she allows the controller to gain control of any Legendary permanent, an ability that was genuinely disruptive in competitive play during Invasion block and retains occasional Commander relevance when Legendary creatures and planeswalkers dominate the format. The card's collectibility rests on a combination of its unusual ability, its origin in the Invasion block, and the low number of near-mint copies available after two and a half decades. Invasion is not as heavily collected as Alpha-era sets but occupies a meaningful position as part of the early print runs before Modern-era distribution practices standardized. Price has been fully stable across both observation windows. Empress Galina is not a card that trades frequently, but when clean copies surface they attract Commander builders and set collectors who value original prints of mechanically unusual cards. That dual demand keeps the floor reasonably supported.
