About Ambessa, Matriarch of War
Ambessa 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 is a Legend in the Body domain.
5 stores in the United States carry it and they are priced within 2% of each other — US$479.99 to US$488.61 at the top two. A tight spread across several sellers is the sign of a settled price, so postage and how much else you can add to the same order matter more than which shop you pick.
Across 47 days of tracked history Ambessa, Matriarch of War has barely moved — flat over the last week, flat over the last month — holding around US$472.67 in the United States. A stable price like this usually means supply and demand are matched: there is no urgency to buy today, and equally no reason to expect a better price by waiting.
Foils are barely dearer than non-foils right now — US$479.99 against US$488.61 — which rarely lasts.
Ambessa, Matriarch of War is stocked in 6 of the markets we track — the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, the EU — 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$479.99 before postage and US$479.99 delivered.
The Signature print carries a 4799.9× premium over the plain version — US$479.99 against US$0.10. 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 97% of the 269 priced cards in the set, against a set median of US$0.17. 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.

Prices are live listings from stores in each market, in the currency that store actually charges. The “≈ USD” column is an indicative conversion for comparison only — not a quote, and not what you'll be billed. Stores generally ship within their own market, and international postage, duty and GST/VAT aren't included, so a cheaper market elsewhere isn't necessarily cheaper to get delivered to you.
