Mother of Runes (297) Price

Updated 2026-09-23

Mother of Runes (297) from Secret Lair Drop Series is a specific alternate-art printing of one of white's most versatile protection creatures, identified by its collector number within the Secret Lair catalog. Mother of Runes provides free targeted protection for any creature the player controls, making her a format staple across competitive Legacy lists and commander builds where her repeatable ability generates value turn over turn. The Secret Lair version carries premium artwork that distinguishes it from the Urza's Legacy and Commander product printings, and supply is fixed to the original drop window. Secret Lair alternate-art singles from older drops command growing premiums as the catalog ages and near-mint copies become harder to source. The 30-day price line shows an upward move with the 90-day trajectory confirming sustained appreciation. The underlying card is format-relevant across multiple competitive and casual contexts, which provides a broader demand base than most Secret Lair exclusive treatments enjoy.
