Ancestral Recall Price

Updated 2026-06-29

Ancestral Recall in Unlimited Edition is a member of the Power Nine, the most powerful and historically significant cards in Magic: The Gathering. Drawing three cards for a single blue mana is so far beyond any fair-game rate that the card has been restricted or banned in virtually every format it has touched. Unlimited is the more accessible tier of the Power Nine: it shares the card frame with Alpha and Beta but carries a white border and a larger print run, making Near Mint copies achievable for collectors priced out of the black-border editions. The Power Nine command a collector premium that extends well beyond competitive play, functioning as the benchmark collectibles of Magic's secondary market. Supply on Unlimited copies is fixed by the Reserved List and is quietly contracting as graded specimens leave the tradeable pool. Price discovery runs through auction houses rather than daily market listings.
