About Mel, Newly Awakened
This page covers Mel Alternate art — the alternate-art printing of Mel, Newly Awakened, card 069A/166 of Vendetta (VEN) — the same card as the base version but a distinct product with its own market. It is a Unit in the Mind domain, at 4 energy to play and 4 might.
Mel, Newly Awakened is down 16% over the last week, at US$2.35 in the United States today. That is the bottom of its range since 24 Sept 2026 (US$2.35–US$3.20) — the cheapest we have recorded it since 24 Sept 2026. Against a median of US$2.61, it is currently 10% cheap by its own standards.
7 stores in the United States carry it and they are priced within 1% of each other — US$2.37 to US$2.40 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.
Foils are barely dearer than non-foils right now — US$2.50 against US$2.37 — which rarely lasts.
Mel, Newly Awakened 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 price inside whichever market you pick rather than converting between them. In the United States the cheapest listing is US$2.37 plus postage at checkout.
The alternate-art print carries a 3.3× premium over the plain version — US$2.37 against US$0.72. Both are legal in the same decks, so that gap is paying for the art and the scarcity, not for anything on the table.
Priced against the rest of Vendetta, it lands mid-table: dearer than 74% of the set's 269 priced cards, with the set median at US$0.15.

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.
