Cover of Darkness Price

Updated 2026-07-31

Cover of Darkness from Onslaught is a tribal enchantment that grants fear to all creatures of a chosen type, making them unable to be blocked except by artifact or black creatures. In Commander, it is played in goblin or zombie tribal strategies as a powerful evasion enabler that can close out games when a tribe goes wide. Onslaught was part of a major Magic block released in 2002, and original Near Mint copies have thinned over more than two decades through use and attrition. The card has never received a mainstream reprint, keeping supply fixed to the original print run. The seven-day and thirty-day windows both show no price movement, consistent with stable, quiet demand from a card that occupies a specific tribal Commander niche. This is a hold for tribal Commander players who run it actively and for Onslaught set completionists, not a speculative position.
