So, I know a lot of card prices, but now and them some cards surprise me. What I know about Ghostly Prison is that it was once an FNM Promo, was originally an uncommon, and that it has been printed in multiple supplemental products. I also know that it's just not a very good Magic card, and that I'm always happy when my opponents are casting them. What I would not have guessed, is the card's current price tag.
The card has been worth a few bucks for a while, which makes some sense as the card screams casual, though as of late it has been showing up as an element of the Boom // Bust decks and as a speedbump for combating Eldrazi decks.
Buylists prices are basically what the retail price of the card was last month. This card will see a significant drop off in play-ability when Eldrazi is inevitably banned, and the price is definitely at the mercy of potential future reprintings. Kamigawa wasn't a very popular block, nor was Planechase a very popular product, but I am more than happy to dig through my bulk box of Kamigawa to sell these bad boys off. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has these laying around and had no idea they were worth anything.
