You’ll Be Furious If This MTG Card Spikes Any Further in Price

Fury

When Fury was first spoiled, it was a letdown for many MTG players. In Modern Horizon 2 set reviews, it was commonly ranked as the worst of the Elemental Incarnation cycle. Consequently, Fury dropped to as little as $5.00 after the set released. Then people figured out how good Fury actually was and it quickly became a $15.00 card.

I mentioned that Fury was worth keeping an eye on in last week’s MTG Marketplace article, as it was gaining some momentum from its long-time $15.00 price tag.

Over the weekend, Fury rose as high as $20.00. There are only 95 listings left on TCG Player at the time of this article. A few new listings were posted today for as little as $18.00, which I personally think is still a good price for Fury.

Why Is Fury Rising In Price?

The recent attention for Fury is similar to the spotlight on Solitude last week. Fury is pervading the Modern format, popping up in many decks including one which many players would argue is one of the best in the current metagame. Let’s take a look at a few.

Fury in Crashing Footfalls

The point of this deck is to take advantage of the Cascade mechanic to cast powerful cards with no mana cost. This is an established strategy in decks like Living End Living End Suspend 3—{2}{B}{B}
Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control, then puts all cards they exiled this way onto the battlefield. , but in this deck we are looking to to take advantage of Crashing Footfalls Crashing Footfalls Suspend 4—{G} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, pay {G} and exile it with four time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.)
Create two 4/4 green Rhino creature tokens with trample. .

Because our Cascade spells are all three mana, that means we can’t have any cards in our deck, besides Crashing Footfalls, that cost less than that. This is where Fury comes into play. Fury, Brazen Borrower Brazen Borrower Flash
Flying
This creature can block only creatures with flying. (a.k.a. Petty Theft) and Fire // Ice Fire // Ice Fire deals 2 damage divided as you choose among one or two targets. all have mana values of more than three, but can be cast for less than that. This enables us to stave off our opponents’ plays in the crucial early turns of the game while we set up for something like a Shardless Agent Shardless Agent Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.) on Turn 3.

Just like Solitude, Fury is a part of one of the top 5 decks in the current Modern metagame. Doomwake, a rising MTG Youtuber and fantastic player, is a big advocate of Crashing Footfalls, and helped in creating a 4-color deviation of the archtype.

Fury in Gruul Ponza

Fury is particularly potent in this deck because we can actually hard-cast Fury for five mana, usually with the help of Utopia Sprawl Utopia Sprawl Enchant Forest
As this Aura enters, choose a color.
Whenever enchanted Forest is tapped for mana, its controller adds an additional one mana of the chosen color. and Arbor Elf Arbor Elf {T}: Untap target Forest. . Gruul Ponza has historically included 5-drops in the past like Glorybringer Glorybringer Flying, haste
You may exert this creature as it attacks. When you do, it deals 4 damage to target non-Dragon creature an opponent controls. (An exerted creature won't untap during your next untap step.) or Elder Gargaroth Elder Gargaroth Reach, vigilance, trample
Whenever this creature attacks or blocks, choose one —
• Create a 3/3 green Beast creature token.
• You gain 3 life.
• Draw a card. for this reason. But compared to these cards, Fury is more versatile, as it can either be played for free with its Evoke cost or hard-cast when you have the mana to spend.

Fury in Even More Modern Decks

Fury is a staple in many other Modern decks like Elementals, Goblin Charbelcher Goblin Charbelcher {3}, {T}: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a land card. This artifact deals damage equal to the number of nonland cards revealed this way to any target. If the revealed land card was a Mountain, this artifact deals double that damage instead. Put the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in any order. combo, and Boros Midrange. It also pops up in many other fringe decks like the new “Jeskai Moonblade” deck, Mono-Red Aggro, and some Blue-Red Control decks.

Will Fury’s New Price Hold?

Fury has seen a lot of price fluctuation since its printing. From $5.00, to $20.00, to $15.00 and now back to $20.00 again, its a tough to say where Fury will go from here.

Personally, I think it will end up being a $20.00-$25.00 card in the long run, once Modern Horizons 2 goes out of print. I’d pick up Fury sooner than later if you are interested in playing any of the decks it is apart of. I bought my playset simply because it has so much potential in Modern.
