Avatar of Woe Price

Updated 2026-07-13

Avatar of Woe from Prophecy is an eight-mana black finisher that becomes free to cast once ten or more creatures are in all graveyards combined, with a tap ability that destroys target creatures. The card is a Commander staple in black reanimator and sacrifice decks where filling graveyards is a strategic priority. Prophecy was a small set in the Masques block with a limited print run relative to its era. The 30-day price movement is substantial, representing meaningful appreciation over a short window, while the 7-day reading has since flattened. Moves of this size on a Prophecy rare typically indicate either a Commander-driven demand spike or a high-grade auction that reset the reference price. NM copies of Prophecy rares are increasingly scarce as the set ages. Collectors should verify whether the 30-day move was driven by a specific Commander event, as the sustainability of the gain depends on that underlying demand source.
