Grim Tutor Price

Updated 2026-07-29

Grim Tutor from Starter 1999 is a low-distribution printing of one of the most powerful tutoring effects in the game. The card searches any card from the library to hand at the cost of three life, an effect powerful enough that Wizards avoided reprinting it for over two decades. Starter 1999 was an introductory product with modest distribution aimed at new players rather than the competitive market, leaving Grim Tutor's original print run structurally small. The Core Set 2021 reprint placed the card's function into wider circulation, and competitive players generally use that version. The Starter 1999 copy carries a scarcity premium over any reprint because of its origin in a limited-distribution product line. Price has shown no movement this period, typical for a card with thin secondary trading. This is a Legacy or Vintage completionist position. Watch for any additional reprint of this tutor effect.
