Gut Shot Price

Updated 2026-08-25

Gut Shot from New Phyrexia is a Phyrexian mana instant that deals one damage to a creature or player at zero mana cost by paying two life instead of one red mana, making it a flexible role-player in competitive formats. Trading at $47.82 with a 10.06% gain over the trailing 90 days and a modest 2.09% decline over the past 30, the card shows earlier appreciation that has recently stalled. The New Phyrexia printing is the original and carries a collector premium given the set's significance in Magic lore. Gut Shot sees competitive play in Modern and Legacy as a free removal spell and combo enabler. The 90-day gain followed by a flat-to-negative recent window is consistent with a card that absorbed a round of buying and is now consolidating. Demand depends on continued competitive format relevance for zero-mana removal effects as metagames evolve.
