Sphere of Influence: September 11th, 2026

Boros Charm | Art by Zoltan Boros

It's that time of the week again, where I look at four cards that could start rising in price and playability right now. Reality Fracture is approaching quickly, so it's important that we get prepared for these new cards, in case our own reality starts to become unstable due to their power levels...

So, join me Tyler 'Savesya' Bucks, as we jump into the Sphere of Influence!

Venat, Heart of Hydaelyn - $1.50

Since Reality Fracture is shaping up to be a legend-heavy set, Venat, Heart of Hydaelyn will be incredibly useful to have on hand. Whether you're building a Standard or Commander deck around legendary spells, drawing at least one extra card per turn will help you from falling behind during a game. Not only does this creature provide a lot of value on the front side, but the back also offers a great way to drive damage forward while still being able to draw some cards. Keep an eye on this Final Fantasy legend as the weeks go on.

Boros Charm - $5

While Boros Charm might be a multi-format staple that already fetches a higher price for an uncommon, it could begin to climb in value. The next set is going to include several new planeswalkers, so if any of them become a menace in 60-card formats, having an instant-speed way to deal direct damage to lower those loyalty counters could become a necessity. On top of that, there are two other useful modes on this card that offer up a variety of effects for closing things out or straight up saving a game.

Suture Priest - $2

Let's continue looking ahead with Suture Priest, who works very well with the upcoming potential commander Liliana the Faultless. Not only does this creature fit well into the curve of a deck centered around this legend, but it also adds more life gain and drain to a 99. Plus, if you've been keeping up with the Magic story for Reality Fracture, you'll know that this doppelganger version of Liliana has a dark side to her that makes me think that these two would become quick friends!

Spymaster's Vault - $1.50

Finally, let's finish this article by looking back in time for this entry. Spymaster's Vault works incredibly well with a commander that's currently rising in popularity week by week, Doctor Doom, King of Latveria. If you picked up that precon, or you're just looking to build it from scratch, this land is a must have for that list. Plus, connive outlets just work incredibly well with Villains in general, so if you've been looking to brew around your favorite baddie, then this is the land for you.

Until Next Time

So, there you have it, four cards that could continue to rise in price and playability right now. We're in the full swings of preview season for Reality Fracture, which means that there's going to be a lot of shakeups happening as time goes on. With all these new cards hitting our favorite formats, be sure to come back next week in order to stay ahead of any spikes with the Sphere of Influence!
