About Archon of Cruelty
This page covers the showcase printing of Archon of Cruelty (342), a Black Creature — Archon from Modern Horizons 2 (MH2). It is printed at Mythic Rare rarity. The one keyword in its text is Flying. It is legal in Modern, Legacy, Vintage and Commander and 1 more format.
342 exists in 2 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. Its US$8.47 is within a few percent of the standard print's US$8.57, so the art costs you almost nothing extra. For reference the other printings read Standard US$8.57 on TCGplayer.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$7.50, 11% below TCGplayer's US$8.47 market price. 4 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$8.40, only 12% more, so postage will decide the order.
The United States is the cheapest of the 3 markets that have it, and the United Kingdom is dearest at about 41% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$7.50 in the United States, C$12.66 in Canada and £8.36 in the United Kingdom. Conversions use indicative exchange rates, and postage, duty and import tax are not included, so a cheaper market elsewhere is a fact about listings and not a reason to import.
The market price moved +1% over the last 7 days; there is not yet a 30-day window to set that against. It is trading at its 90-day high of US$8.47.
Modern Horizons 2 is a reprint set, which collects earlier cards, released June 2021. Archon of Cruelty has 4 other cards in the database, listed further down the page.
