Chain of Vapor Price

Updated 2026-07-11

Chain of Vapor from Onslaught is a one-mana blue instant that returns any non-land permanent to its owner's hand with an unusual chain mechanic that allows other players to copy the effect by sacrificing a land. The card is a Legacy and Vintage staple in storm and combo strategies where it functions as a versatile, often near-free bounce effect when the caster's mana advantage makes the land sacrifice negligible. Onslaught is the only printing of this card, and it has never received a standard-legal reprint, keeping its competitive demand premium intact over multiple years. The 30-day price gain reflects incremental buying pressure over the past month, consistent with steady demand from Legacy combo players. Price has been flat in the most recent week, suggesting the monthly move has stabilized at the current level. Watch Legacy storm and combo archetype health alongside any future reprint announcements as the primary demand variables.
