About Illusions of Grandeur
Illusions of Grandeur (79) is a Blue Enchantment from Ice Age (ICE). It costs {3}{U} and has mana value 4. It is printed at Rare rarity. The one keyword in its text is Cumulative upkeep. It is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander and Oathbreaker.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$9.00, 43% below TCGplayer's US$15.92 market price. 4 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$9.60, only 7% more, so postage will decide the order.
The United States is the cheapest of the 4 markets that have it, and the EU is dearest at about 141% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$9.00 in the United States, C$18.30 in Canada, A$26.20 in Australia and €19.99 in the EU. 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 -0.1% 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$16.12.
Ice Age is a main expansion, released June 1995.

Prices are live listings in each market, in the currency that seller charges. The “≈ USD” column is an indicative conversion for comparison only: not a quote, and not what you'll be billed. Stores generally ship within their own market, and international postage, duty and import tax aren't included, so a cheaper market elsewhere isn't necessarily cheaper to get delivered to you.
