Crimson Wisps Price

Updated 2026-08-23

Crimson Wisps from Shadowmoor is an anomaly in Magic pricing: a common-rarity card sustaining above fifty dollars because its role in Storm and combo strategies creates persistent tournament-grade demand. The card costs one red mana, gives a creature plus two power and haste until end of turn, and replaces itself with a draw. That combination of effects is what cantrip-heavy combo decks require, and no subsequent printing has replicated the full Crimson Wisps package in a single card at this mana cost. Shadowmoor was a smaller Magic print run than many players assume, and commons that see consistent Legacy demand thin out faster than expected. The 30-day window shows modest appreciation and the 90-day reading is positive, while the 7-day has gone flat: that profile suggests the card is in a slow accumulation phase without urgent speculative pressure. Watch for any Legacy-legal reprint in a supplemental product as the primary risk to current pricing.
