Polluted Delta Price

Updated 2026-06-30

Polluted Delta from Onslaught is the original printing of the most widely played fetchland in competitive Magic. The Onslaught cycle introduced fetchlands that sacrifice for basic land types, and Polluted Delta, fetching Island and Swamp, serves the blue-black strategies that anchor Legacy and Vintage control builds. Unlike Reserved List cards, Polluted Delta has been reprinted in Khans of Tarkir and the Zendikar Expeditions, which created additional supply and normalized price across printings. The Onslaught printing specifically carries collector premium for players who prioritize original printings over later reprints, a preference that exists across the Magic collector community but is not universal. Tournament demand is structural because fetchlands are the most played non-basic lands in the formats where they are legal. Original Onslaught copies in Near Mint condition are increasingly uncommon in that grade as the printing ages, which supports collector interest independent of reprint pressure. Set competition from later reprints limits how far above reprints this version can sustainably trade.
