Bilbo, Luckwearer Price and Data

• This page follows the regular nonfoil The Hobbit collector-number 32 printing. It does not combine showcase, foil, or promotional versions.
• A retained pre-release observation placed Bilbo at $2.99 on July 20, 2026. The exact Near Mint nonfoil TCGplayer market price was $0.18 on September 21, 2026, a 94% decline from that pre-release observation.
• The exact post-release series was much steadier. From August 23 through September 21, 2026, Bilbo traded between $0.16 and $0.23.
• The series began at $0.19 on August 23, 2026 and ended at $0.18 on September 21, 2026.
• The timing is consistent with price discovery around release. Pre-release supply was limited, then opened copies of this uncommon entered the market after The Hobbit released.

• Bilbo's first month of exact post-release pricing does not show a sustained price spike.
• The largest upward cycle carried the card from $0.16 on August 26, 2026 to $0.23 on September 3, 2026.
• That seven-cent move was a 44% increase, but the absolute change remained small because the card cost only a few cents.
• The market price returned to $0.18 by September 21, 2026. No documented tournament result or deck announcement clearly explains the brief rise.
• The larger historical move was the decline from the $2.99 pre-release observation into the post-release range, which is consistent with release supply and early price discovery.

• Bilbo is a two-mana 1/1 that cannot be blocked. When it deals combat damage to a player, its controller draws a card and then discards a card.
• The combat trigger can become the second card drawn during a turn after the normal draw step.
• The discard can place a useful card in the graveyard or turn an unwanted card into a new draw.
• Wizards' release notes confirm that Burglar's Plot exchanges control of two target nonland permanents that share a card type.
• After the Adventure resolves, Bilbo is exiled and the creature half can be cast later, as explained in the official Adventure mechanics notes.

• The complete Standard list reviewed September 21, 2026 uses four Bilbo copies with second-draw payoffs.
• The normal draw step supplies the first card. If Bilbo connects, its trigger draws the second card before requiring a discard.
• Bard the Bowman and Homunculus Horde show the second-draw plan in the reviewed list.
• Bilbo's job is to provide a low-cost repeatable trigger while improving hand quality, not to finish the game by itself.
• This format preference reflects the September 21, 2026 review. Future Standard lists may use different payoffs as the available card pool changes.

• Cast Bilbo early when repeated card filtering is more valuable than saving Burglar's Plot.
• Plan second-draw turns before combat because Bilbo must deal combat damage for the draw-and-discard ability to trigger.
• Use the discard to remove an unnecessary land, place a graveyard card where it belongs, or improve a weak hand.
• Consider Burglar's Plot when exchanging a lower-value permanent for a stronger permanent of the same card type would materially change the board.
• Account for opposing interaction before casting the Adventure. After Burglar's Plot resolves, remember that Bilbo can still be cast from exile.
