MARKET NOTE: MAYAEL THE ANIMA

Updated 2026-08-11

Mayael the Anima is the primary Commander identity card for Naya-colored creature strategies in Magic: The Gathering, a three-colored Elf Shaman from the Shards of Alara block who cheats large creatures into play from the top of the library. First printed in 2008, Mayael defined a Commander archetype built around high-power creatures with power five or greater, and the card has served as a reliable deck engine for casual and midpower Commander tables since the format gained traction. The Shards of Alara printing carries original card art that resonates with collectors who favor older frame treatments and the art direction of that era. Reprint presence for Mayael is limited, keeping single-card supply relatively constrained against consistent demand from the Commander community. This version has established stable positioning among dedicated Commander players, and the current price level reflects that settled collector equilibrium rather than speculative activity.
