Titanoth Rex Price and Data

• The selected-printing chart follows Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths collector-number 174, released April 24, 2020.
• Our exact IKO 174 history fell from $0.39 in the week of July 6, 2026 to $0.25 on August 14, a 36% slide for this inexpensive uncommon.
• It then jumped to $0.40 on August 18, up 60% from August 14, before retracing to $0.28 on August 22.
• The later recovery to $0.38 by September 12 was still measured in cents. This was a volatile low-price cycle, not a high-dollar breakout.
• The chart above tracks IKO 174. Its later List reprints and the premium IKO 377 treatment are separate inventory with separate price paths.

• Modern Living End is the strongest evidenced demand context, with MTGDecks naming Living End as its recent Modern archetype.
• In complete 2026 and 2024 Living End lists, Titanoth Rex is a one- or two-copy cycler, not the primary win condition.
• Its low-cost cycling puts a creature in the graveyard while giving an attacker a permanent trample counter, so a small deck adoption change can matter to a cheap uncommon.
• Modern usage and a low starting price make Titanoth sensitive to modest demand changes; the rapid August retrace still marks that jump as a short cycle.

• Modern leads because the reviewed recent-archetype snapshot identifies Living End, and multiple full Modern lists contain Titanoth Rex.
• Cycling for {1}{G} draws a card and puts this creature into the graveyard for Living End to return.
• Shardless Agent and Ardent Plea are the cascade enablers in the sourced lists.
• Titanoth Rex's trample counter can turn another creature into a better attacker while the deck sets up its graveyard.
• The nine-mana 11/11 body is a backup mode; the deck normally values the cycling card and later reanimation target.

• Cycle Titanoth Rex in Modern to stock the graveyard without losing a card from hand.
• The trample counter remains after the turn, which gives a surviving attacker lasting pressure.
• Footfall Crater is another low-cost cycling card that grants trample, but it does not add a large creature to a Living End graveyard.
• Commander cycling shells can use the counter and discard too, although their deck goals vary by named commander.

• Cast Titanoth Rex only when the 11/11 trample body is a realistic payoff. In most early turns, cycling it is the efficient line.
• The trample counter is permanent, so prioritize a creature that will keep attacking or one whose damage matters after a combat trick would expire.
• Because cycling targets, leave room for an opponent to answer the target before combat. The card still replaces itself, but the trample plan can change.
