Wave of Reckoning Price

Updated 2026-08-20

Wave of Reckoning from Mercadian Masques is a board wipe that deals damage to each creature equal to its power rather than destroying them outright, making it particularly effective against high-power token strategies while leaving small-power defenders intact. The card is a Commander staple in high-toughness tribal builds where it functions as a one-sided board reset. Mercadian Masques is a 1999 set, and Near Mint original printings carry a scarcity premium from age. The card has seen limited reprint attention, keeping the Masques version as the primary market copy. With flat 7-day and 30-day windows, this is a stable, low-velocity position. Demand comes from dedicated Commander players who run high-toughness creature strategies. A reprint in a future Commander product supporting Defender or Wall strategies would be the primary risk event. Position as a long-term hold rather than a near-term trade.
