Now, not only can you deal more damage, but greatly sap your opponent's overall total, as well. This is because when you assign damage on a trampling creature, only 1 of that damage has to be dealt to a defending creature. Quietus Spikeis also fun on any creature that has trample or otherwise gains trample. That means the effect of Quietus Spike activates twice, which means a ton of life lost. A card like Quietus Spike is especially good on a Commander like Rafiq of the Many, who much of the time has double strike. This would explain why a great many Kemba, Kha Regent decks have included this equipment. Voltron strategies, those that involve loading up one creature with a bunch of Equipments and/or Auras, are extremely popular in Commander. Also, whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, that players loses half of his or her life, rounded up. Quietly, it's been a very solid Equipment for quite a long time.Īppearing first in Shards of Alara, and also included in a Planechase pre-constructed deck, Quietus Spike is a 3-drop Equipment that gives a creature deathtouch. However, with a reprint in Commander 2017 and later in Planechase Anthology, the original printing fell under $2. Quietus Spike is a Magic card from Shards of Alara quietly enjoyed a rise in price from around $2 to $4 over a couple of years. There is a chance that this card gets adopted by more Modern and Legacy decks in the future. But it's worth holding onto if you already have copies. In 2018, it was barely selling for $1, despite a much higher median price. As Oath of the Gatewatch stock was liquidated around October 2017, it was $2.50 or less. Towards the end of its Standard life, Kozilek's Return often listed for $5, but no one paid more than $4. Plus, being an Eldrazi-themed card, its price is propped up a bit, as well. Of course, the main thing helping it keep its value is that it’s a mythic rare. Its exile ability is certainly decent, too. This is definitely a good card in certain Eldrazi decks to help clear the way for the Titans such as Ulamog and Emrakul. But, yet again, being colorless helps against certain creatures, such as Burrenton Forge-Tender, which sees some sideboard play.Īs a one-of in Modern and Legacy sideboards, and only barely any Standard play towards the end of its Standard life, it’s hard to see this card going much lower in price. Again, it’s basically a colorless Pyroclasm for one more mana, as there is no Eldrazi to cast in that deck. Primarily, Kozilek’s Return has been seen in Grixis Death’s Shadow Aggro decks. We’ve also seen a side-boarded copy of Kozilek’s Return in the occasional Miracle Control or OmniTell deck. But most of the time this is a Pyroclasm for one more mana that also happens to be colorless - meaning it dodges things like protection from red or protection from colored spells, which can be relevant at times. It’s a one-of in Legacy Sneak Attack sideboards, since it is technically possible to cast Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and take advantage of Kozilek’s Return’s second effect. However, it may not go much lower than that, due to seeing Modern and Legacy play. With its rotation in October 2017, its market price is around $4. But after not seeing the play many people had expected it to see in Eldrazi decks, Kozilek’s Return’s price has been on a steady downward trend.

But as far as selling them yourself, if there’s nothing of substantial value among the 100 cards, you’re probably looking at a value of between $0.25 and $1. Some have more rares than others, and some will have more duplicates than others. It is true that you can buy lots of 100 Magic the Gathering cards for anywhere between $4 and $8 online. A stack of 100 rares, for example is going to get you likely $8 or more from a local game store that buys Magic cards. If there are rares in the pile, you’re looking at least $0.08 to $0.10 per rare, and likely more depending on what the rare is. If it’s 100 commons and uncommons, typically no vendor will buy them, since typically stores buy in bulk of 1000 at a time and pay about $3-5/thousand. If it’s mostly land cards, then the stack is relatively worthless. It really comes down to what is in those 100 cards.
