Carnival of Souls Price

Updated 2026-07-22

Carnival of Souls from Urza's Destiny is a specialist Commander card with one of the more unusual effects in Magic: whenever any creature enters the battlefield, its controller may pay 1 life to add one black mana. In black storm and aristocrats strategies, the ability to generate mana from a stream of creature entries represents a potential combo engine. The card fills a specific niche within black combo-oriented Commander builds but sees limited broader play. Urza's Destiny was printed in 1999 and the supply from that run is closed. This is a low-visibility card whose price is supported by niche Commander demand and the collector appeal of scarce Urza-block rares rather than broad format adoption. Players targeting unusual combo pieces for high-powered Commander tend to seek original printings because reprint supply is thin. Supply is fixed and the demand base is narrow but persistent.
