Out of Bounds: The Sealed MSCHF Golf Course Plains

Most people look at a basic land and see a basic land. This one has a golf course on it, a red pin flag, and a sticker that is not decoration. Under the sticker is a different card.

Start with what it is, because the name sounds like a joke and the object is not.

The drop

Secret Lair x MSCHF went on the Wizards of the Coast webshop on November 20, 2021 and ran through November 27. It cost $39.99. The core of it was five cards numbered 364 to 368: Swords to Plowshares, Grim Tutor, Blood Moon, Cut // Ribbons, and Teferi's Puzzlebox. Three are gold foil-etched. Two are foil with silver laminate.

Then there is the bonus card. It looked like a basic Plains with golf course art. It was not in the teaser images. It surfaced on November 5, 2021, when a Reddit video on r/magicTCG showed that the top layer peels off.

What is underneath

Peel the layer and the Plains becomes a Battlefield Forge. The course is on fire. The inscription reads "Golf Sucks Now And Has Always Sucked." MSCHF said the card was meant to reveal their true feelings about golf. One reading is that a golf course is wasted land and a Forge is more useful. That is a reading, not a statement from them.

Wizards had never printed a peelable before. As far as the card wikis show, they have not printed one since. Magic cards usually have two sides when they are double-faced, and both sides of those are designed to be played. This one is different. The Plains and the Forge are two existing cards in one object, and you get one of them.

The rule that matters

The peel is permanent. Putting a thin metallic sticker back exactly is not realistic. So a peelable is a one-time choice, and a sealed copy is a choice nobody has made yet.

Whether it is tournament legal is unclear. The wikis say so plainly. The extra thickness is a problem in a sleeve and nobody has a ruling on which side counts. This card was not built to be played. It was built to be argued about.

Reading the numbers

Two sources disagree on which face carries which collector number. One lists 669 as the Forge with the sticker and 670 as the card under it. The other describes a Plains on top that turns into a Forge. This listing is a Plains, numbered 670, golf course on top. Read the number on the card, not the post.

This copy and the comp

The listing says Secret Lair x MSCHF, SLD 670, Plains, golf course art with a red pin flag, still in the sealed sleeve, sold as pictured. Check the photos for the sticker before you buy. We say what the listing says and no more.

The comps pull in two directions. A loose Plains is cheap. PriceCharting has the ungraded value at $8.96, with six sold copies between April 2024 and September 2026 at $4.99 to $10.41. The latest was $7.99 on September 2, 2026. A CGC 9 sold for $30 on September 15, 2025. One eBay loose price shows $11.74. That is a card people open.

The peeled side is not cheap. EchoMTG lists the Battlefield Forge foil at $53 near mint, $48 lightly played, and $21 damaged. That is a card people pay for after the choice was made.

A sealed copy sits between those numbers and holds the option on both. I found no clean sold comp for a sealed unpeeled copy. Sealed full drops are asked at $134.99 to $450 on eBay. Those are asks, not sales, and the drop has five other cards in it.

$50 is a position, not a quote. It prices the option at roughly the value of the peeled Forge. If you want the Plains, buy a loose one for under $12. If you want the Forge, you could peel this one and be about even. If you want to be the person who has not decided, this is the only way to hold it.

A golf course on a land card. Sealed. Not playing through.
