Estimate for a typical copy of Orcish Spy; condition, printing, and grading move the real number.
Why it matters
Orcish Spy originally debuted in the early days of Magic: The Gathering as a way for players to peek at their opponent’s hand, offering a rare glimpse into hidden tactical information. While this Eighth Edition printing remains a common card, it is appreciated by collectors for Greg Staples’ distinct, moody illustration that captures the character’s classic fantasy aesthetic.
