The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl sends Scurry of Squirrels soaring in price
The Squirrel Girl reveal pushed more than 1,200 Scurry of Squirrels copies out the door in three days, and the near-mint price jumped from 40 cents to about $1.22.
If you are building The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Scurry of Squirrels just went from cheap glue to one of the first real money cards in the shell. This is not just a random spike, either. The Marvel reveal gave the card a clean Commander home, so the move looks like a real synergy breakout first and a short-term hype rush second.
The reason is obvious once you read Squirrel Girl’s text. TCGplayer lists The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl as a five-mana green legend that makes a 1/1 green Squirrel token when she enters or attacks, then can make X more Squirrels for 1GGG, where X is the number of Squirrels you control. EDHREC already shows 1,318 Commander decks for her, with 1,508 deck entries and tags that line up exactly where you would expect, Tokens, Squirrels and Combo. That kind of early adoption matters because Scurry of Squirrels already does the boring, excellent thing token decks want most: it makes a wide board, then turns every extra squirrel into a bigger attack step.
The market reaction was brutal and fast. MTG Rocks tracked more than 1,200 near-mint copies sold in just three days after the early June reveal, then saw the cheapest near-mint copy jump to about $1.22. MTG Decks had Scurry of Squirrels at roughly $0.40 on May 29, which puts the move at about a 294 percent spike. EDHREC also shows the card has appeared in 43,416 decks overall, so this was never a total sleeper. It was a known squirrel support piece that suddenly became much easier to justify in a deck with a marquee commander.
Buy or skip? Buy if you are actively sleeving The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Chatterfang, Squirrel General, or any token list that wants a dedicated squirrel engine right now. Chatterfang still matters here because Scryfall notes that it adds Squirrels for every kind of token, including Clue, Food and Treasure, so the archetype already had a deep, obsessive audience before Marvel arrived. Skip if you are trying to chase the chart instead of the deck, because reprint risk is real on a low-dollar support card that just became visibly desirable in a Commander-focused Universes Beyond set.
The bigger picture is that this is how a good Commander reveal moves cardboard. Wizards says Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes releases on June 26, 2026, with multiple Commander decks, so Scurry of Squirrels got pulled up before the product even hit shelves. If you needed proof that spoiler season can make a 40-cent squirrel card feel premium overnight, this was it.
