MARKET NOTE: BIRDS OF PARADISE (1148)

Updated 2026-09-08

Birds of Paradise in its Secret Lair Drop Series treatment (SL:1148) holds at $33.49, down 3.12% over the past 30 days and 2.19% over 90 days, a mild softening that suggests gradual demand erosion at the current price point. Birds of Paradise is one of Magic's most iconic one-mana mana dorks, producing any color of mana and making it a staple in multicolor Commander decks and historically in Modern and Legacy green-based strategies. The Secret Lair printing features unique artist-commissioned artwork that distinguishes it from the dozens of other Birds of Paradise printings available at lower price points. The price decline is consistent with typical Secret Lair trajectory: strong initial demand at release fades as the market discovers that supply is larger than anticipated. Players seeking Birds for gameplay can access cheaper versions; the Secret Lair premium is primarily a collector proposition tied to the specific artwork.
