Chain of Smog Price

Updated 2026-09-11

Chain of Smog in Onslaught is one of Magic's most peculiar price anomalies at the uncommon rarity tier. The card has a unique interaction with Witherbloom Apprentice introduced in Strixhaven that enables a two-card infinite combo in Commander, which briefly pushed demand when the combo was first popularized. That competitive moment passed, but the card retained elevated value because Onslaught copies were printed in 2002 and the supply is now more than two decades old. Chain of Smog has never been reprinted, meaning the Onslaught printing is the only copy available on the secondary market. Price movement data shows no directional change, suggesting the market has reached equilibrium between combo-seekers who want one copy and the modest supply of Onslaught uncommons in collectible condition. This is a hold, not a momentum trade.
