Engineered Explosives Price

Updated 2026-08-04

Engineered Explosives from the Masterpiece Series: Kaladesh Inventions carries the steampunk alternate-frame treatment on one of Modern's most versatile hate cards, capable of destroying all permanents at a chosen converted mana cost when sacrificed. The card sees regular sideboard play in Modern and Legacy, offering flexible answers to permanent-based threats that targeted removal cannot efficiently address. The Inventions series was distributed at low rates inside Kaladesh block packs, capping supply permanently at a small fraction of the total set print run. The card is up nearly 5% over the past month with no week-over-week movement, suggesting a repricing earlier in the period that has since held. The Inventions steampunk frame is among the most visually distinctive in Magic, and competitive players who own the card often prefer this version specifically. The combination of competitive utility and Inventions scarcity gives the card two independent demand drivers. Watch for supplemental product reprints in Commander or Masters sets as the primary headwind to the premium.
