Card Kingdom currently pays $19.00 cash for MP2 #29 (Foil); the retail-buylist spread on that printing is 37% (normal).

• Jun 10, 2022 Unless a token is a copy of another permanent or was explicitly given a name by the effect that created it, its name is the subtypes it was given when it was created plus the word "Token." For example, if an effect creates a 1/1 Soldier creature token, that token is named "Soldier Token."
• Aug 7, 2020 If the target permanent is an illegal target by the time Maelstrom Pulse tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. You won't destroy any permanents at all. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you do destroy other permanents with the same name.
• Aug 7, 2020 Maelstrom Pulse has only one target. Other permanents with the same name will be destroyed even if they have hexproof or protection.

Maelstrom Pulse has been reprinted 17 times. The Bloomburrow Commander reprint cut the price 73% in 30 days.
