Lord of the Pit Price and Deck Data

No current market quote or verified price history is available for this exact printing. Prices from other versions are excluded.

About this printing

  • This page covers the nonfoil, serialized Secret Lair Lord of the Pit, collector number 715, with art by Wizard of Barge.
  • Only 295 copies of this serialized edition exist, each with its own number. That scarcity helps explain its collector premium over ordinary Lord of the Pit copies, even though the rules text is the same.
  • Magic Librarities records this /295 edition as a MagicCon: Barcelona attendee promo distributed on July 28, 2023.
  • The number 715 identifies the printing; the separate number on the card identifies your individual copy.
  • On October 8, 2026, TCGplayer reported no current market price for this exact product. Its $650 listed median is an asking-price measure, not a confirmed sale or an offer to buy your card.

Lord of the Pit Price Spikes

  • The numbered /295 marking gives this version a collecting distinction that ordinary Lord of the Pit copies do not have.
  • A movement in an ordinary printing's price does not establish a movement in this numbered edition.
  • A $650 listed median cannot tell you how far this printing has risen without dated, comparable sold prices.
  • For a purchase or sale, compare photographed copies of this same edition, including condition and the individual number, rather than treating a listing as money already changing hands.

Commander: give away the upkeep problem

  • EDHREC's October 8, 2026 snapshot includes Lord of the Pit in 7,455 decks across printings; 5,573 are led by Jon Irenicus, Shattered One.
  • Lord of the Pit is a 7/7 with flying and trample, but its controller must sacrifice another creature during their upkeep or take 7 damage.
  • Jon Irenicus can give Lord of the Pit to an opponent, add two +1/+1 counters and goad it, making the Demon attack another player when possible.
  • Giving it away also passes its upkeep demand to that opponent. Jon stops the donated Demon from being sacrificed, but the opponent can still feed it another creature.
  • You get the same rules text from an ordinary printing. These deck examples show why players use Lord of the Pit; they do not show that players buy the numbered version for those decks.

Public Commander deck examples

  • Three public Jon Irenicus lists show the donate plan. Each list below contains one commander and 99 other cards, including Lord of the Pit, checked October 8, 2026.
  • The lists preserve their source printings, which are not the numbered Secret Lair card. Choose versions and condition before buying.
