Tower of the Magistrate Price

Updated 2026-07-22

Tower of the Magistrate from Mercadian Masques is a utility land with a niche but durable Commander application, granting protection from artifacts to a target creature at instant speed. In a format increasingly dominated by Equipment strategies and artifact-based interaction, the ability to strip Equipment from an opponent's creature or shield your own from artifact removal has meaningful practical value. Mercadian Masques was printed in 1999 and the supply from that run is fixed. The card sees limited play outside Commander, but within that format it fills a role no other land replicates exactly. Collector interest is modest, concentrated among Masques-block completionists and players who value original printings for aesthetic reasons. This is a low-profile Commander staple with a static supply profile and a reliable but narrow demand base from players seeking the original Masques printing.
