Deathrite Shaman Price

Updated 2026-10-11

Deathrite Shaman from Return to Ravnica is one of the most banned cards in Magic's competitive history, having been outlawed in both Legacy and Modern formats due to its overwhelming efficiency as a one-mana creature. That notoriety carries collector value independent of current playability: cards that defined banning conversations maintain name recognition that sustains demand even outside active formats. The Return to Ravnica printing has seen modest downward price movement across all tracked time horizons, with 7-day and 30-day declines matching the 90-day figure, suggesting the price softened at a specific point and stabilized there. The card has been reprinted several times, including in premium sets, which distributes demand across printings. Eternal format players who want the original Ravnica frame continue to seek out this version specifically, as the Return to Ravnica art is widely considered the definitive version. Reprint risk remains real but does not eliminate demand for the original.
