If you don't sacrifice the lands, Scorched Ruins never enters — it goes directly to your graveyard.

Context

Last observed on Scryfall 2 months ago at $62.69. Over the trailing 90 days the price moved between $0.95 and $62.69 across 51 observations. Cross-checked across TCGplayer, eBay sold, Cardmarket EU, and Star City.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from WTH — 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 #166 of *Weatherlight*, the set that shipped alongside the June 1997 Weatherlight release.

Card type: Land, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters.

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 #6,506 in Commander, putting it in the niche-pick tier of the format's playable pool.
