MARKET NOTE: ANIMATE DEAD

Updated 2026-08-25

Animate Dead is a two-mana black enchantment from the Secret Lair Drop Series that reanimates any creature from any graveyard as an enchanted permanent, making it one of the most efficient reanimation tools in Magic: The Gathering and a consistent Commander staple. The Secret Lair printing delivers premium artwork on one of the format's most powerful graveyard enablers, appealing to Commander players who prioritize showcase versions of staple cards. Near-mint copies have declined roughly 1.66% over the past month and 5.05% over the past 90 days, with the most recent weekly reading also off 0.53%, a steady softening that may reflect inventory normalization following the initial Secret Lair release or mild reprint anxiety from potential future Commander product inclusion. The card itself remains functionally powerful and widely played, so the price decline appears supply-driven rather than demand-driven. Long-term holders of the Secret Lair version may find the current pullback a temporary repricing rather than a structural decline.
