Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer Price

Updated 2026-06-28

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer in the Secret Lair Showdown promo is a tournament-prize copy of Modern's most debated one-drop, awarded only to players who placed at the top of Wizards-sanctioned competitive events. Ragavan defines the opening turns of fair blue-red strategies in Modern and was banned outright in Legacy for being too efficient. Players who run it in their Modern decks and want the cleanest possible copy are motivated buyers, and the Showdown treatment is the highest-credential version available on the secondary market. The supply is determined entirely by how many Showdown events distributed this specific promo, a figure that does not increase after the event cycle closes. Unlike many promo cards where the collector base carries most of the demand, Ragavan's competitive relevance means a distinct group of tournament players are also active buyers. That functional demand base underneath the collector premium is what separates this from most promo positions.
