Check firstUnconfirmed source spike: primary marketplaces do not yet support the new candidate price.
Ward—Discard an enchantment, instant, or sorcery card. Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, each opponent mills two cards. When one or more cards are milled this way, exile target enchantment, instant, or sorcery card with equal or lesser mana value than that spell from an opponent's graveyard. Copy the exiled card. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

Sources, methodology, and disclosureOpen
NeoPrice and Pricing Confidence use the existing NeoCardAlpha methodology. CardTrader is the inventory source, TCGplayer is the primary pricing source, and Card Kingdom is validation-only.
NeoCardAlpha may earn a commission from certain marketplace links.
Card Kingdom retail validation is visible when a matching product is available, but it remains a validation source.
