The price of the Magic: The Gathering (MTG) card Worldfire has been steadily increasing over the past month. Currently valued at $14.30 on MTGGoldfish, the card has experienced a price rise of 123% from its initial value of $6.40. Worldfire is known for its devastating effects in the game, as it exiles all cards on the battlefield, in players’ hands, and in graveyards, while setting each player’s life total to one.
The recent surge in price can be attributed to the release of MTG Doctor Who decks, particularly the Timey-Wimey deck. Worldfire works well as a win condition in combination with the new Suspend cards and MTG commanders featured in this deck. By suspending cards before playing Worldfire, they are technically in exile and remain unaffected by the wipe. These cards can then enter play in subsequent turns, potentially leading to victory.
Worldfire has an interesting history, as it was initially banned from the MTG Commander format shortly after its release in Magic 2013. The ban was lifted in September 2021, with the rules committee aiming to create an environment where higher-cost spells are viable. This resulted in a spike in Worldfire’s price to $30, although it quickly dropped back to under $10. While it is unlikely to reach such heights again in the near future, the card continues to show upward momentum.
