About this printing

  • The Ixalan nonfoil Jace, Cunning Castaway, collector number 60, was $9.61 in TCGTracking's October 8, 2026 market snapshot.
  • This is a market estimate across conditions, not a guaranteed sale price or a Near Mint offer.
  • Its appeal is the ability to make two nonlegendary copies of itself. If your deck only needs a three-mana way to draw and discard, that copying plan is what you need to justify paying for.

Jace, Cunning Castaway Price Spikes

  • The retained TCGTracking observations for this Ixalan printing rose from $0.83 on July 19, 2026 to $9.65 on October 7, 2026: an $8.82 increase, or about 1,063%.
  • The sharp September rise took it from $2.38 on September 20, 2026 to $7.29 on September 27, 2026, an increase of about 206% in a week.
  • Wizards explained empower Jace on September 8, 2026. It can add loyalty to a token copy of a Jace planeswalker, including the copies Cunning Castaway makes with its ultimate.
  • MTGGoldfish's September 28, 2026 finance update identified that interaction as a reason for the price jump. The timing and card interaction support the explanation; they do not measure how many buyers were building those decks.
  • By October 8, 2026, the quote was $9.61, just $0.04 below the October 7, 2026 high. The dated observations establish this move, not an all-time record or a promise that the price will hold.

Commander: make the copies matter

  • EDHREC's October 8, 2026 snapshot records Jace, Cunning Castaway in 9,732 Commander decks. That is evidence of deckbuilding interest, not tournament success.
  • Its +1 lets you draw, then discard when one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player that turn. It does not draw a card for every creature that hits.
  • Its -5 makes two nonlegendary token copies. Empower Jace can put loyalty on one of those tokens, but it cannot put loyalty on the original nontoken card.
  • Jace's Machinations helps the token-copy plan by adding loyalty to a Jace token. You still need a way to reach the original ultimate or create a token copy first; empower does not do that job for the original.
  • The -2 makes a 2/2 Illusion that is sacrificed if a spell targets it. Merely targeting that Illusion with an ability does not trigger its sacrifice clause.
  • At $9.61 on October 8, 2026, this is a more deliberate purchase than it was below $1. Buy it for the copying plan your deck uses, rather than expecting the price spike itself to make the card stronger.

Public Commander deck examples

  • The three public lists below put Cunning Castaway in different planeswalker shells. Each has one commander and 99 other cards, including Cunning Castaway, checked October 8, 2026.
  • Compare Jace, Multiverse Architect, Nicol Bolas, the Ravager, and Jace, Vryn's Prodigy as deck examples, rather than treating these lists as tournament results or proof of a finished empower combo.
