If you want to get her for that much you are going to have to find someone with a damaged one and convince your playgroup it isn't too damaged for play. I'm talking like cat puke damaged not just like a bent corner.

There are a few on EBay for that cheap but they all have over 2 days left so I'm pretty sure they will go up but you never know you may be able to get one there.

It's extremely rare to get any sought-after Magic card on Ebay for less than 80% of its total value. People sit at the "finish line" on Ebay and watch all the Magic auctions that are about to end. I would know; I'm one of them.

Something you don't seem to fully understand is that Magic has a highly advanced economic market. Cards have value and you have to pay that value to get what you want. If you only have $7 and want a $17 card, then you either need a really good friend, find a card that's been cut in half, or get 10 more dollars.

Online MTG sellers actively watch the market and so do consumers. As soon as a card's value goes up, you won't find it anywhere online for the original value 24 hours after.
