Death Wish Price

Updated 2026-10-09

Death Wish from Judgment is a unique Magic card that functions as a wish effect with no restriction on card type. The card retrieves any card from outside the game and adds it to the controller's hand at the cost of half the controller's life total, a severe but sometimes acceptable payment in specific Legacy combo contexts where resolving the right card wins immediately. Judgment was a small 2002 set with a limited print run, and its Rare cards from this era carry an age-related scarcity premium that accumulates over time as near-mint copies move into collections or get graded. Death Wish is the only wish effect in Magic that searches for any card type without restriction, which gives it a collector appeal beyond competitive demand: players who appreciate unusual card designs specifically seek it. The card's quirky design and specific utility make it a persistent niche collector item. Track Legacy combo tournament results and graded population for accurate value reads.
