That said, collectors are a driving force in Magic's secondary market, and as soon as you put a number on a card (beyond its power and toughness, anyway), you're going to get people willing to spend more than $250 on it

$0.35 March from the Black Gate The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $0.35 Saruman's Trickery The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $0.35 Claim the Precious The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $1.49 Elspeth Conquers Death Theros Beyond Death $1.29 Scroll of Isildur The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $5.49 Call of the Ring The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $2.29 In the Darkness Bind Them The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Commander Decks $0.49 Sauron, the Necromancer (0310 - Showcase) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Variants $9.99 Witch-king of Angmar The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $0.49 Sam's Desperate Rescue The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $1.49 Ringsight The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth $0.99 Ringsight The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth 0 results found

All in all, Id argue that Alakazam is best run alongside Drowzee and Hypno, or Koffing and Weezing, for the best results from this deck
