Currency Converter – From Hidden Gem to Commander Staple
Currency Converter has quietly been one of the most underrated cards in Magic. For just one mana, it gives you a draw-discard engine with a bonus—turning exiled cards into mana or creature tokens later in the game. The real kicker? It lets you exile any card you discard, whether it’s through its own ability or another effect.
This steady value generation made it a $5 card for most of last year, but everything changed with the release of Ketramose, the New Dawn. With its exile synergies fueling demand, Currency Converter has skyrocketed to $15 and climbing. Supply is drying up fast, and as more players look to optimize their Commander decks, this little artifact is proving to be an absolute powerhouse.
