Prior to the Comander Masters reprint Fierce Guardianship could fetchupwards of $70for a single copy, and is still regularly found atmore than $30now.
As with the Commander cards like The Ur-Dragon and Edgar Markov, Fierce Guardianship was printed with an effect intended forCommander playthat unexpectedly made it an all-time great in the format. In the former case, it was the Eminence ability, creating Commanders that have an active benefit even before being cast.
With Fierce Guardianship and its related card, like Deflecting Swat, the reason for their super high price following release is that they are often completely free to cast in the Commander format. These cards are so good – and provide generic yet powerful interruption and control abilities like countering spells or redirecting effects – that they are almost auto-includes in any deck of their given color.
Picking up the Timeless Wisdom Commander deck will net youa bunch of great cardsfrom one of Magic’s most inventive recent planes, as well as an absolute crown jewel in Fierce Guardianship that can be collected, sold, or simply used to great effect at your next Commander night.
