Choice of Damnations Price

Updated 2026-08-29

Choice of Damnations is a Saviors of Kamigawa rare with one of Magic's most memorable political effects. At six mana, an opponent chooses to either lose X life or sacrifice all but X permanents, where X is set by the controller. The political and punishing nature of this effect has given it a durable Commander following in black control and chaos archetypes. Saviors of Kamigawa was the final set of the original Kamigawa block and had a modest print run relative to the broader Magic player base. The card has not been reprinted in a high-circulation product, keeping supply limited to original copies. Price has been flat across all measured windows. The buyer is a Commander player building a black political or chaos deck, or a Kamigawa block set collector. No active catalyst exists for price movement in the near term. Reprint risk is low given the card's narrow appeal and the historical infrequency of Kamigawa-specific supplemental products.
