About Oracle of the Alpha

Oracle of the Alpha (259) is a Blue Creature — Bird Wizard from Mystery Booster 2 (MB2). It costs {2}{U}, has mana value 3 and is a 2/3. It is printed at Uncommon rarity. Its text prints Flying and Scry. It is legal in Brawl, Historic and Timeless.

The United States is the cheapest of the 4 markets that have it, and the EU is dearest at about 50% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$130.00 in the United States, A$203.33 in Australia, £122.36 in the United Kingdom and €179.90 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 -2% 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$172.27.

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.
