Walking Ballista (058) Price

Updated 2026-09-08

Walking Ballista in the Secret Lair 058 treatment is a premium version of one of the most versatile artifacts in competitive Magic, banned in Pioneer and restricted in formats for its ability to function as a scalable threat, mana sink, and precision removal engine simultaneously. The original printings of Walking Ballista are in high demand from Modern players, Commander builders, and cube architects, and the Secret Lair treatment adds a collector aesthetic layer on top of that functional demand. Price has risen roughly 5% over the past month, extending a 90-day gain of about 8%, confirming steady directional accumulation. Secret Lair distribution is limited and does not reprint perpetually, keeping supply fixed after the initial sale window closes. Buyers who want the most distinctive version of Walking Ballista for their competitive or Commander decks should treat the current trajectory as a signal of growing recognition. The supply ceiling is structurally fixed.
