Grim Tutor (Silver Laminate) Price

Updated 2026-09-05

Grim Tutor (Silver Laminate) is the premium finish variant from a Secret Lair drop featuring one of the most powerful tutor effects in black Commander. Silver Laminate is a specialty foiling treatment that gives the card an appearance distinctly different from traditional foil, appealing to collectors who want a visually unique version of a high-utility effect. Price data over the past month and the past quarter both show declining readings, a consistent downward drift suggesting supply is exceeding demand at current price levels. Grim Tutor itself remains functionally powerful: it fetches any card for three mana at the cost of three life, a rate that keeps it in black Commander lists. The issue is that multiple Grim Tutor printings now compete for the same buyer pool, which can suppress demand for any individual version. Monitor the base-set M21 copy price for context: if original copies also decline, the softness reflects game-wide demand rather than print-specific oversupply.
