Balance of Power Price

Updated 2026-07-29

Balance of Power from Portal Three Kingdoms is a high-cost draw spell from one of the scarcest sets in Magic's history. The card allows a player to draw cards until reaching the hand size of the opponent with the most cards, an effect with multiplayer Commander applications in the late game. Portal Three Kingdoms was distributed primarily in Asian markets in 1999 with very limited North American and European release, creating a card pool that has never been comprehensively reprinted. The card draws from Romance of the Three Kingdoms lore, contributing to the cultural resonance that makes Portal Three Kingdoms valued particularly among Asian collectors. Price has held flat this period, consistent with the low-velocity trading environment typical of Portal Three Kingdoms singles. Supply is geographically concentrated among a small number of long-term holders. This is a patient set-completion position.
