Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver (Showcase) (Surge Foil) Price

Updated 2026-08-09

Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver in the Showcase Surge Foil treatment from The Hobbit sits at the intersection of Magic's premium art treatments and Tolkien's legendary weapon lore. Showcase frame cards use an alternative art style distinct from both standard and Borderless frames, creating a third visual category that certain collectors specifically target. Surge Foil is Wizards' highest foil tier, adding a prismatic shimmer that elevates the Showcase artwork further. Orcrist is the elven blade wielded by Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit novel, giving it strong name recognition among Tolkien readers who may not collect Magic otherwise. Mythic rarity limits supply within the print run distribution. This card sits in the supporting tier of The Hobbit collector hierarchy: premium treatment and strong IP name, but a weapon rather than a named character, which typically ranks below protagonist cards like Thorin and Gandalf in collector priority. It remains the clear best copy for Orcrist specifically.
