Tainted Pact (JP Alternate Art) (Foil Etched) Price

Updated 2026-08-07

Tainted Pact in the JP Alternate Art Foil Etched version from Strixhaven: Mystical Archive is the most premium printing of a Commander and Legacy card that has seen renewed demand in competitive circles. The card exiles cards from your library until you exile one with a specific name, enabling a one-card combo kill in Legacy and serving as a combo enabler in singleton Commander builds running no duplicate names. The Strixhaven Mystical Archive featured reprints of historically significant spells with distinctive artist treatments, and the Japanese Alternate Art version uses an entirely different art commission than the English version. Foil Etched treatment applies to the JP version specifically, creating a rarer configuration within an already limited print run. Price has appreciated modestly over the trailing 30 days with the past week flat, consistent with steady player demand. The JP Foil Etched version is the definitive collector target for this card.
