Commander and Modern staples at affordable prices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, various Magic: The Gathering Standard expansions have incorporated bonus sheets to aid the Limited format, but these also serve as an excellent opportunity to snap up once-expensive cards at a much more affordable rate. Take The Brothers’ War: Retro Artifacts,<\/em> where cards such as Mox Amber, Helm of the Host, and Mishra’s Bauble saw a decrease in value, meaning players can acquire accessible copies at a lower price for Modern and Commander applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mishra's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Market Price: $42.23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Atraxa,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Market Price: $13.68<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same is also true for March of the Machines: Multiverse Legends,<\/em> which was a bonus sheet incorporating some of Magic’s most iconic Legendary characters including Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice who both saw a price dip during March of the Machine’s release. If you are indifferent to card aesthetics, these bonus sheet cards are ideal to fill out your Modern or Commander collection while saving a few dollars for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market Price: $41.90<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Wilds of Eldraine, Enchanting Tales <\/em>is the bonus sheet for the recent Standard release, which highlights some of the notable Enchantment cards throughout Magic’s history. Due to the ample circulation of Wilds of Eldraine<\/em> since the September 8 release, many Enchanting Tales<\/em> cards are much more affordable than their previously printed counterparts. Even though Enchanting Tales<\/em> cards such as Parallel Lives and Smothering Tithe are still somewhat pricey, these are some of the most affordable printings of the card you can buy right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it’s impossible to keep up with every Magic release due to the amount of product, card variations, and foil treatments in every release, let’s look at some of the Enchanting Tales<\/em> cards you should absolutely consider acquiring if you play Commander and Modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polluted Bonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Polluted Bonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilds of Eldraine: Enchanting Tales<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Polluted<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A once-incredibly expensive card due to a single printing in Shadowmoor, Polluted Bonds appears in the Enchanting Tales, <\/em>and since Wilds of Eldraine’s <\/em>release, it has massively crashed the value of this Enchantment. A popular card in Commander, Polluted Bonds punishes opponents for cheating ahead on Lands, or just wanting to simply play a Land for the turn. If there’s one thing the color Black is remarkably good at achieving in Commander, which is passively whittling life totals and generating massive swings in the Black player’s favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Syr<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Tergrid,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Vito,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Polluted Bonds, the card is impressively good in any dedicated Mono-Black shell led by Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Tergrid, God of Fright, or Syr Konrad, the Grim. And now, with a reprint in Enchanting Tales,<\/em> the card is now only a couple of bucks compared to the $20-30 before the reprint. If you enjoy playing Mono-Black or Group Slug-style Commander strategies, then Polluted Bonds is an excellent card to acquire and stockpile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardened Scales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hardened Scales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilds of Eldraine: Enchanting Tales<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hardened<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A big roleplayer in Modern’s Hardened Scales, the namesake card also appears in the Enchanting Tales, <\/em>even though there’s been a smattering of reprints in Double Masters 2022, Commander 2016, <\/em>and Universes Beyond: Warhammer 40,000. <\/em>Hardened Scales is a fantastic card for any strategy that cares about generating a bunch of counters on creatures such as Hangarback Walker, Walking Ballista, and Arcbound Ravager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Walking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Market Price: $17.38<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hangarback<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Arcbound<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Market Price: $13.52<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granted, Hardened Scales is more of a constructed card since the namesake strategy is seeing a resurgence in Modern due to the printing of Agatha’s Soul Cauldron, which also appears in Wilds of Eldraine. <\/em>However, any Counter-focused Commander strategy will want this Enchantment, such as Ezuri, Claw of Progress and even Atraxa, Praetors’ Voice if you are choosing a different route than a traditional Superfriends build. Either way, Hardened Scales is a fantastic card, and you can snap up a playset for less than $5 at the time of publication, which to me, is a solid deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind Obedience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blind Obedience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilds of Eldraine: Enchanting Tales<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blind<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another fantastic Enchantment that sees play in a variety of Group Slug, Stax, and Death & Taxes-style strategies in Commander is Blind Obedience, a card that was first printed in Gatecrash<\/em> and only seen a smattering of Commander reprints since. With Enchanting Tales, <\/em>Blind Obedience is part of this impressive series and is currently coming in at just over two dollars at the time of publication, and it seems that price is slowly climbing due to evergreen demand for the card. Commanders such as Eriette of the Charmed Apple, Karlov of the Ghost Council, and Teysa Karlov are some of the best Commanders to incorporate Blind Obedience since the Extort ability can slowly dwindle the opponent’s life total throughout a Commander game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Teysa<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Eriette<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Karlov<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Market Price: $18.12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is unlikely this printing of Blind Obedience will creep back up to Gatecrash<\/em> prices before Wilds of Eldraine’s <\/em>release, foil copies of the Enchanting Tales <\/em>printing are far cheaper than their Gatecrash<\/em> counterparts. So, if you are in the market for affordable Commander foils, Blind Obedience from the Enchanting Tales<\/em> is a reasonable place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood Moon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blood Moon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilds of Eldraine: Enchanting Tales<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blood<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A staple in Modern and Legacy is\u00a0Blood Moon, a card that always could do with more reprints regardless of how you feel about your non-Basics turning into Mountains. Sometimes, Blood Moon appears in Commander in a Mono-Red strategy led by\u00a0Solphim, Mayhem Dominus,\u00a0Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, or even\u00a0Imodane, the Pyrohammer\u00a0from\u00a0Wilds of Eldraine\u00a0<\/em>as there’s little downside considering these Commander builds are running mostly Basic Mountains anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
