As usual, the reveal of the latest MTG precons caused quite a stir within the MTG financial markets. While both Dance of the Elements and Blight Curse from Lorwyn Eclisped look like tons of fun, upgrades are always possible. Whether you want to lean more into one of the deck’s Commander choices or simply improve the deck overall, there are plenty of options.
Unsurprisingly, as players rush to pick up cards like Rumbleweed and Persistent Constrictor, prices have been shooting up. Now, the same has happened to Maha, Its Feathers Night, thanks to its impressive synergy within both decks.
MTG Maha, Its Feathers Night
Released as part of 2024’s Bloomburrow, Maha, Its Feathers Night is one of the set’s big bad Elemental creatures. Offering a powerful body and a devastating one-sided toughness-reducing effect, this card is hugely powerful. Thanks to this, Maha quickly became a popular card in Commander as soon as it was released.
Alongside cards like Toxrill, the Corrosive, Massacre Girl, Known Killer, and Kelsien, the Plague, Maha offers incredible amounts of value. Unless your opponents have tons of lords and/or buffs, removing their creatures becomes a breeze. Since this is a one-sided effect, you barely even have to play into it to steamroll opponents and run away with the game.
Unsurprisingly, when each of your opponent’s creatures only have one toughness, -1/-1 counters become significantly deadlier. The Scorpion God becomes a consistent removal engine, while Black Sun’s Zenith is transformed into a three-mana, mostly one-sided board wipe. Maha also makes utilizing The Reaper, King No More far easier, allowing Blight Curse to excel under its command.
While Blight Curse has tons of synergy with Maha, Its Feathers Night, it’s also decent in Dance of the Elements. While this precon doesn’t excel in killing off an opponent’s creatures, it has plenty of Elemental Typal synergies. Even though Maha doesn’t lean into those, its sheer strength as a creature still makes it an interesting inclusion.
Outside of the Lorwyn Eclipsed precons, Maha, Its Feathers Night is also a scary threat within High Perfect Morcant decks. While Maha is a departure from Elf Typal, the sheer volume of -1/-1 counters Morcant can churn out makes it a perfect fit. Thanks to all of these new synergies, it’s no wonder that demand for Maha, Its Feathers Night has increased significantly.
The Spike
Looking at EDHREC data, over 1200 new decks have been created in the past month using Maha, Its Feathers Night. Unsurprisingly, this has led to a significant surge in demand for the card, resulting in a substantial price spike. Even though Maha has only spiked by 244% in the past month, it wasn’t exactly a cheap card to begin with.
Back in December of 2025, near-mint non-foil copies of Maha, Its Feathers Night were selling for around $9.36. While this isn’t the cheapest that Maha has ever been, which was around $7.40,it’s still far from a budget pick. This is due to the card’s steady Commander demand and Maha’s implicit rarity as a mythic MTG card.
Thanks to this rarity, it hasn’t taken a huge number of sales to move the market price up dramatically. In the past month, 410 copies of Maha have been sold, largely once the Lorwyn Eclipsed precons were revealed. This sudden spike in demand quickly pushed prices up to the new average of $32.24.
Unfortunately for anyone who’s still in the market for a Maha, cheaper copies of the card have all been bought out already. Currently, the cheapest option starts at $33.77, including shipping. Thankfully, you do at least get a near-mint example for that price point. While there is a Borderless version of Maha, sadly, this is even more expensive, with prices starting at $52.29.
The Future
For better or worse, Maha, Its Feathers Night feels like a classic MTG price spike. Driven by Commander demand and fueled by moderate rarity, prices are currently incredibly high, but they’re unlikely to last. Realistically, while this Elemental Bird is a great fit within Blight Curse, it hasn’t absolutely skyrocketed the card’s play rate.
Due to this, even if demand continues for the next few weeks until Lorwyn Eclipsed is released, it should subside over time. When this happens, sales will slow, and prices are likely to fall to keep copies moving. This is something we’ve seen time and time again, even to cards boasting strong synergies within precons.
Notably, this hypothetical future is far from guaranteed, and Maha could easily retain some, or even most, of its current spike. Thanks to being playable within a wide array of Commander decks, demand for this card should be somewhat steady. With only so much supply floating around, this could be the kick to make Maha a $20 card perpetually.
Ultimately, as always, we can’t predict the future when it comes to the MTG financial markets. As such, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the coming weeks and months. Sadly, if you are waiting for Maha’s price to crash before picking up a copy, that may take a good while longer.
