About Ambessa, Matriarch of War

Ambessa, Matriarch of War (Showcase, Signature) is the Signature print of Ambessa, Matriarch of War — numbered 196*/166, past the end of Vendetta's base run, which is what makes it far scarcer than the ordinary showcase printing. It sits in the Body domain.

2 stores in the United States have it in stock, but the pricing is top-heavy: US$550.00 at the cheapest, then a 55% jump to US$850.00 for the next one. That cheapest listing is doing all the work — if it goes, the effective price of this card rises by roughly 55% overnight.

There is no real discount for accepting wear — the cheapest played copy is US$850.00 against US$550.00 Near Mint, so buy the better copy.

Ambessa, Matriarch of War is stocked in 4 of the markets we track — Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore — each priced in its own currency, so the table above ranks by delivered cost inside whichever market you pick rather than converting between them. In the United States the cheapest listing is US$550.00 before postage and US$550.00 delivered.

The Signature print carries a 4583.3× premium over the plain version — US$550.00 against US$0.12. Both are legal in the same decks, so that gap is paying for the art and the scarcity, not for anything on the table.

Within Vendetta this is a genuine chase card: it is more expensive than 96% of the 249 priced cards in the set, against a set median of US$0.29. Cards at this end of a set's distribution are what make sealed product worth opening, and what make it expensive to buy singles for a deck that needs them.
