About Volrath's Shapeshifter
Volrath's Shapeshifter (48) is a Blue Creature — Phyrexian Shapeshifter from Stronghold (STH). It costs {1}{U}{U}, has mana value 3 and is a 0/1. It is printed at Rare rarity. It is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander and Oathbreaker.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$9.91, 29% below TCGplayer's US$13.90 market price. 4 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$10.50, only 6% more, so postage will decide the order.
Across 3 markets, Canada has it cheapest, about 74% below the United States before postage and import tax. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read C$7.80 in Canada, US$9.91 in the United States and A$23.40 in Australia. 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 -2.9% over the last 7 days; there is not yet a 30-day window to set that against. Its 90-day high was US$14.36, 3% above today's price.

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.
