About Spell Pierce
This page covers the borderless printing of Spell Pierce (18), an Blue Instant from Secret Lair Showdown (SLP). It is printed at Rare rarity. It is legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Legacy and 8 more formats.
We track no other printing of 18 in this set, so there is no base card here to compare its price with.
The cheapest listing in the United States is US$23.99, level with TCGplayer's US$25.84 market price. 5 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$25.60, only 7% more, so postage will decide the order.
The United States is the cheapest of the 3 markets that have it, and Canada is dearest at about 13% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$23.99 in the United States, £20.61 in the United Kingdom and C$36.99 in Canada. 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 -1.1% 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$26.13.
Secret Lair Showdown is a Secret Lair drop, released February 2023. Spell Pierce has 11 other cards in the database, listed further down the page.

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.
