Simian Spirit Guide Price

Updated 2026-07-18

Simian Spirit Guide is one of the most powerful free-spell enablers in Magic, exiling from hand to produce one red mana, a mechanic that enabled some of the fastest combo starts in Legacy and Modern before it was banned in Modern. The Planar Chaos printing in the red-shifted alternate-reality frame is the most distinctive version of the card. Price data shows substantial appreciation over the past 30 days, a move that likely reflects renewed Legacy demand or collector interest in pre-ban era copies that remain legal in Legacy. The combination of Legacy tournament relevance and the iconic status of the Spirit Guide cycle in Magic design creates a dual demand base for premium copies of this printing. Supply is fixed at the Planar Chaos print run, which was not especially large for a common. Near-mint copies are the primary target for both player and collector demand.
