Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer
2021 Modern Horizons 2
Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer is a 2/1 Legendary Creature — Monkey Pirate that quickly became one of the most powerful one-drop creatures ever printed in Magic: The Gathering. Its Dash ability and treasure/exile mechanics made it an immediate staple across Modern, Legacy, and Vintage formats upon release. It was banned in Legacy and Vintage shortly after release, cementing its status as one of the most impactful MH2 cards.
Hold or cautious buy — Ragavan remains a multi-format Modern staple driving strong demand, though graded copies have softened slightly from peak 2022 highs as the MH2 market stabilizes. The most powerful one-drop in Modern history and a Legacy staple. Banned briefly in Legacy before being reinstated. PSA 10 copies are the standard for this card — modern print quality means 10s are more attainable than vintage cards. Strong buy on PSA 10s. Price moves with Modern and Legacy tournament results.
