Deflecting Swat Price

Updated 2026-08-04

Deflecting Swat is a Commander staple because its alternative cost removes the mana requirement entirely when its controller also controls their commander, effectively making it a free counterspell in the mid-to-late game. That utility at zero mana in a format defined by threat stacking and table politics keeps demand persistent across the full Commander player base. The Secret Lair Drop Series printing offers premium alternate art through a limited supply channel. At $84.92 near-mint, the card has gained 0.74% over the past seven days and 4.72% over the past 30 days, a modest but directionally consistent advance. The 30-day signal is stronger than the 7-day reading, suggesting the climb began several weeks ago and has moderated recently. Buyers entering this position are paying a premium for the Secret Lair treatment and should watch for the next leg before adding to the position.
