Engineered Plague Price

Updated 2026-08-25

Engineered Plague is a black enchantment from Urza's Legacy that places a permanent -1/-1 debuff on all creatures of a creature type chosen as it enters the battlefield. The effect acts as a standing tribal hate piece, weakening all creatures sharing the targeted type for the duration the enchantment remains in play. Its scope makes it particularly effective against token-generating strategies where the debuff prevents small creatures from surviving at all. Supply is constrained to the original Urza's Legacy printing, with no subsequent reprints expanding the available pool. Near-mint copies show an unusual pricing signature: the seven-day gain of approximately 1.8 percent is unchanged at the thirty-day and 90-day marks as well, suggesting a slow, uninterrupted appreciation trend without a catalyzing event. This pattern typically reflects gradual collector interest or incremental Commander demand accumulating steadily over time.
