Counterspell (JP Alternate Art) (Foil Etched) Price

Updated 2026-08-27

Counterspell in the Japanese Alternate Art Foil Etched treatment from Strixhaven's Mystical Archive is the premium version of one of the most iconic spells in Magic's history. The JP Alternate Art versions carry a significant collector premium from Strixhaven's distinct artistic style and rare foil treatment. Recent price movement is volatile: the 7-day and 30-day windows show meaningful negative movement while the 90-day view shows prior appreciation, suggesting the card ran hard and is now correcting. The JP Foil Etched version commands the highest premium of the Strixhaven Mystical Archive Counterspell treatments, and that premium is being tested by the current correction. Legacy and Commander players provide a structural demand floor for this effect in any printing. Watch whether the short-term decline finds a base near the 90-day prior level before positioning in this specific and premium treatment.
