Last weekend, Wizards of the Coast unleashed a ton of reveals for whatโ€™s coming to Magic in 2026. From Lorwyn Eclypsedโ€˜s beautiful art to the reveal that Star Trek will be one of next yearโ€™s Universes Beyond MTG sets, Magicโ€™s calendar is packed.

Although 2026 is all the hype right now, thereโ€™s still one premier Magic set to go before we close Magicโ€™s 2025! Avatar: The Last Airbender will launch in November, and itโ€™s already having quite the impact on existing cards.

This week, a land-focused green enchantment is going up as much as 300% depending on the versionโ€ฆ

Prismatic Omen

โ€ฆ and Prismatic Omenโ€˜s current price spike looks tightly tied to Avatarโ€™s first metalbender.

Until half a dozen years ago, Shadowmoorโ€˜s Prismatic Omen saw quite a bit of play in Modern as part of Valakut and Scapeshift decks, and back then it used to cost over $20. But this green card faded from the tournament scene after 2019 and never regained its competitive punch. This, alongside a reprint in Wilds of Eldraineโ€˜s Enchanting Tales bonus sheet, gradually pushed down its price to about $1-$2.

But the trend has reverted in the last seven days: Near-mint copies of the WOT version has bounced to nearly $3 nowadays, according to MTGStocks:

The original Shadowmoor version is also going up slightly in the last week, currently trading at about $1.80 for near-mint copies (players seem to like less than the Wilds of Eldraine version: WOTโ€™s Prismatic Omen trades about 7 copies per day on TCGplayer, while SHM versions trade less than 1 on average).

Why Is Prismatic Omen Spiking?

Prismatic Omen never regained its competitive edge in Modern (or any other MTG format for that matter), and while somewhat popular in casual Commander itโ€™s not a green card you see too often.

But that may be about to change!

Toph, the First Metalbender

Avatar: The Last Airbender has a very clear forerunner for the โ€œMost Popular Commanderโ€ in the set, at least judging by the amount of theorycrafted decks with her in the command zone: Toph, the First Metalbender, who nearly triples the runner-up (Fire Lord Zuko).

She turns all your nontoken artifacts into lands.

โ€ฆ and looks like sheโ€™s pulling the same pricebending trick with Prismatic Omen: more than a third of Tophโ€™s 2200+ decks pack a copy of this green enchantment.

What Will Happen With Prismatic Omenโ€™s Price?

With our usual caveat that this is not investment advice (always do your own research, folks!), as of right now thereโ€™s ample supply on TCGplayer of near-mint copies for the Enchanting Tales version sitting at about $3 when including shipping, and the same happens with the Shadowmoor version (although with a lot less supply of near-mint copies). Thereโ€™s also a lot of supply for lightly-played copies at a lower price point.

Demand looks pretty organic, and may increase now that Spider-Man (with its lackluster receptionโ€ฆ) is behind us and WotC will focus on Avatarโ€˜s promotion and reveals โ€“ weโ€™ve only seen about a third of TLAโ€™s cards, and given that earthbending is one of the setโ€™s core mechanics itโ€™s pretty much guaranteed that weโ€™ll see more lands-matter cards.
