War Tax Price

Updated 2026-09-17

War Tax from Mercadian Masques is a blue enchantment that taxes attacking creatures by requiring opponents to pay additional mana to declare attackers, a prison effect with fringe applications in stax-adjacent Commander builds. Mercadian Masques is an older large expansion with a nuanced supply picture: widely printed but poorly received, leaving its uncommon and rare pool less well-tracked than more celebrated sets. Price has declined across the 30-day and long-term windows with a slight near-term loss, indicating consistent seller pressure without a catalyst. The bleed is modest but directional. War Tax's utility is narrow enough that format interest drives the market rather than collector demand. Watch stax and prison Commander archetype popularity and Mercadian Masques collector community activity as the two independent demand signals for this position.
