Abolish Price

Updated 2026-10-11

Abolish from Prophecy is a white instant with an unusual casting option: it can be played for zero mana by discarding a Plains, making it a free answer to enchantments and artifacts at instant speed. That pitch cost is what separates Abolish from ordinary removal and has kept it relevant in Legacy and Vintage sideboards where free spells carry a structural advantage over costed ones. Prophecy was a small third-set print run in the Masquerade block, and the card has never been reprinted at uncommon rarity with its original Oracle text intact, keeping supply at 2000-era print levels. Price data shows a uniform positive gain across all tracked windows, suggesting a single upward move that has held since. Uncommons from old small sets behave more like rares in the secondary market because the print run is similarly constrained. Watch for fringe Legacy metagame developments as the primary catalyst for further movement.
