Purphoros, God of the Forge Price

Updated 2026-09-05

Purphoros, God of the Forge in the Judge Promo printing is the premium foil version of one of the most oppressive token-based damage engines in Commander. The card has been appreciating meaningfully over the past month and substantially over the past quarter, a strong dual-timeframe move that signals the judge promo version is being actively acquired. Judge Promos are among the scarcest card categories in Magic: distribution was limited to certified judges as a performance reward, and no additional copies will ever be produced. Purphoros deals two damage to each opponent whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, a triggered ability that becomes overwhelming in token strategies and scales exponentially in multiplayer Commander pods. The combination of Judge Promo structural scarcity and a top-tier Commander playrate makes this a compelling long-term hold. Graded population reports from PSA and CGC are the most relevant supply metric: the NM-to-slabbed conversion rate is the key constraint on available float.
