About Tainted Pact
This page covers the borderless printing of Tainted Pact (96), an Black Instant from Strixhaven: Mystical Archive (STA). It is printed at Mythic Rare rarity. It is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander and Oathbreaker and 2 more formats.
96 exists in 4 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. For reference the other printings read Japan Showcase US$65.81, Foil Etched US$46.56 and Borderless US$29.73 on TCGplayer.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$39.00, 35% below TCGplayer's US$59.89 market price. Only one store has it in the United States, so the price is whatever that shop asks and there is no second quote to check it against.
The United States is the cheapest of the 2 markets that have it, and Canada is dearest at about 78% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$39.00 in the United States and C$94.99 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 -5.9% over the last 7 days; there is not yet a 30-day window to set that against. Its 90-day high was US$63.64, 6% above today's price.
Strixhaven: Mystical Archive is a reprint set, which collects earlier cards, released April 2021. Tainted Pact has 1 other card 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.

Live listings, including used and international sellers: a useful cross-check on the store prices above, and often the only source for older printings. Graded slabs get their own tab, so they never distort the raw price. eBay prices are sellers' asking prices and are never ranked with the stores.
