Context

Last observed on Scryfall 3 months ago at $1505.92. Over the trailing 90 days the price moved between $1100.00 and $2199.99 across 150 observations. Cross-checked across TCGplayer, eBay sold, Cardmarket EU, and Star City.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from LEA — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #243 of *Limited Edition Alpha*, the set that shipped alongside the August 1993 Limited Edition Alpha release.

Card type: Artifact, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {3} (3 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #17,198 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
