Walking Ballista (1265) (Halo Foil) Price

Updated 2026-08-10

Walking Ballista is one of the most format-diverse cards in competitive Magic, seeing real play across Modern and Legacy as well as various combo configurations that leverage its scalable shot damage. The 1265 Halo Foil variant from the Secret Lair Drop Series brings a premium finish that appeals specifically to players who want the best-looking copy of a card they are already running. Walking Ballista has been banned and unbanned in multiple formats over its lifespan, which gives it a price sensitivity that tracks tournament meta shifts closely. The Halo Foil treatment has limited supply, tied to the Secret Lair release window rather than ongoing print runs. Price has trended upward over both the last seven and thirty days, a directional signal consistent with renewed competitive demand or collector appetite for the premium finish. Gameplay utility and collectible scarcity work together here rather than in isolation.
