MTG Card Prices: What 2024 and 2025 Sets Are Worth Now
MTG card prices across the 2024 and 2025 sets follow one pattern: almost all the money sits in a handful of rare collector booster printings, while regular rares from the same sets sell for a few dollars or less. In October 2026 the top cards ranged from about $1,000 to over $6,000, and Final Fantasy's rarest prints led them all.
Key takeaways
- In every set here, the top prices belong to special printings (serialized cards, rare foil variants, Japanese showcase versions), not the regular card.
- Final Fantasy and Spider-Man have the highest single prices; their top printings sold for thousands in October 2026.
- Duskmourn hasn't rotated yet. It leaves Standard in early 2027, with Bloomburrow.
- Assassin's Creed was never Standard legal, so its prices depend on Commander, other formats, and collectors.
- Price from sold listings for the exact printing and number, not from asking prices or what you paid.
All prices below are PriceCharting's ungraded prices, which are built from completed sales, as shown on October 25, 2026. They move every day, so treat them as a snapshot and check the card before you price it.

Most new sets follow a familiar curve: prices are highest in the first weeks, when supply is low and players want the new cards, then fall as boxes get opened. What holds up is a card that sees steady play in Commander or an older format, and printings that are rare by design.
What moves a price in the first months
Print run, tournament results, and Commander demand. A card that shows up in winning decks can jump in a weekend; a mythic nobody plays usually slides toward bulk once the set is widely opened.
Why the collector printings pull away
Collector boosters carry the special treatments, and the rarest of those (serialized cards stamped with their own number, rare foil variants) are pulled so seldom that their prices have little to do with the regular card's. That's why one name can be worth $5 and $1,500 in the same set. For the older cards that sell for far more, see the most expensive MTG cards ever sold.
How much are Final Fantasy MTG cards worth right now?
Final Fantasy has the highest prices of these sets. The top of PriceCharting's list on October 25, 2026:
- Traveling Chocobo, Japanese borderless (#551): $6,199.50 ungraded
- Traveling Chocobo, colored foil borderless versions (#551a to #551d): about $1,800 to $2,046 each
- Tifa Lockhart, MagicFest promo (#2): $2,035.58
- Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER, borderless surge foil (#527): $840.94
- Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, borderless surge foil (#520): $368.27
- Lightning, Army of One, borderless surge foil (#545): $259.87
(PriceCharting, Final Fantasy)
Two things stand out. The Chocobo variants are a story of their own: same card name, five printings, each priced in the thousands. And promos like the MagicFest Tifa sit near the top, so check whether a card is a promo before you price it as a regular copy.
Which Final Fantasy slots are close to bulk
Below the surge foils and special printings, prices drop fast. Most regular rares and nonfoil mythics from play boosters sell for a few dollars. Lead with the collector printings at your table and treat the rest as binder stock.
How do Assassin's Creed MTG card prices compare two years later?
Assassin's Creed came out in July 2024 as a set built for Commander and older formats, never for Standard (MTGStocks, July 2024). Its packs were Beyond Boosters, not regular draft or play boosters.
On October 25, 2026, its top cards on PriceCharting were the serialized printings:
- Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh, serialized (#272): $1,150.00
- Leonardo da Vinci, serialized (#118): $1,147.50
- Sokrates, Athenian Teacher, serialized (#273): $856.25
- Mary Read and Anne Bonny, serialized (#120): $635.20
Below those, prices fall off quickly: Edward Kenway's textured foil (#269) was $70.12 and Ezio Auditore da Firenze's textured foil (#267) $49.99 (PriceCharting, Assassin's Creed).
The cards that held, and a lesson
The reprinted Sword of Feast and Famine (#124) is the best example of what holds value. MTGStocks had it around $22 to $23 in July 2024, after it fell from about $74. PriceCharting showed it at about $50 in October 2026. A strong card for older formats recovers; most of the set's own new cards didn't.
For the next Universes Beyond set: price the serialized cards and a few format staples at market, and treat the rest as bulk until sold listings say otherwise.
Which Duskmourn cards are worth money before rotation?
Duskmourn is still Standard legal. It rotates out in early 2027, along with Bloomburrow, when the first set of the year arrives (Draftsim, June 2026). Expect regular Duskmourn rares that only see Standard play to lose value as that date gets close, and Commander staples to hold up better.
Right now, the top prices are special collector booster printings, many of them Japanese showcase versions, numbered from the high 300s into the 400s:
- Enduring Vitality (#404): $349.99
- Valgavoth, Terror Eater (#407): $299.90
- Overlord of the Balemurk (#401): $249.99
- Enduring Curiosity (#398): $241.19
(PriceCharting, Duskmourn). The same names in other printings sell for a fraction of that, so the collector number is everything when you price these.
If you bought Duskmourn stock at 2024 prices, reprice it against today's sold listings, not what you paid.
Are Aetherdrift prices still falling?
Aetherdrift's top is one card: The Aetherspark, serialized (#376), at $1,875.00 on October 25, 2026. After that comes Radiant Lotus (#416) at $142.72 and Loot, the Pathfinder (#414) at $104.99, then a long list of first place foils and fracture foils under $100 (PriceCharting, Aetherdrift).
So for most Aetherdrift stock, the money is modest. Whether a given card is still falling is a question for its own price chart: look at its last 30 and 90 days of sales, not the set as a whole. Cards with no regular place in a format tend to keep drifting down; cards that see play tend to level off.
What are the top chase cards in Edge of Eternities?
On October 25, 2026, Edge of Eternities was led by Sothera, the Supervoid (#382) at $1,699.99. The fracture foils filled most of the next spots: Icetill Explorer (#388) at $402.15, Exalted Sunborn (#384) at $303.75, Starfield Vocalist (#385) at $235.49, and a fracture foil Sothera (#386) at $129.01 (PriceCharting, Edge of Eternities).
Notice that the two Sothera printings are more than $1,500 apart. Always price by collector number.
How do Spider-Man MTG card prices stack up against other Universes Beyond sets?
Spider-Man came out on September 26, 2025, and it's Standard legal until 2028 (Draftsim). On October 25, 2026, its top cards were The Soul Stone (#242) at $5,907.50 and its borderless version (#243) at $1,788.88, followed by the borderless Spectacular Spider-Man printings (#235 to #241) at $200 to $499 each (PriceCharting, Spider-Man).
| Set | Top card, Oct 25, 2026 | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Final Fantasy | Traveling Chocobo, Japanese borderless | $6,199.50 |
| Spider-Man | The Soul Stone (#242) | $5,907.50 |
| Assassin's Creed | Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh, serialized | $1,150.00 |
The Marvel name brings in buyers who don't play Magic, which helps at a show table. Whether the regular cards keep their value depends on players, so separate the collector printings from the playable ones when you price.
Is Lorwyn Eclipsed worth buying as an investment?
Lorwyn Eclipsed came out on January 23, 2026. Its top card on October 25, 2026 was Bitterbloom Bearer, serialized (#352), at $3,028.20, then Bloom Tender's showcase printings (#400) at about $401 and Moonshadow's (#396) at about $146 (PriceCharting, Lorwyn Eclipsed).
For a vendor, the safer plan with any new set is to sell hits soon after release rather than hold cases and hope. If you do buy sealed, buy what you can list quickly, and keep only the singles you want for yourself. This isn't financial advice; past prices don't promise future ones.
Where can you check MTG card prices in real time at the table?
What a price board should show
Buyers check prices on their phones before they ask yours. A useful table display shows the exact printing, the current market price, and your asking price side by side, so the gap is visible. For slabs, it should show the price for that grade, not the raw price.
Free lookups
PriceCharting shows prices from completed sales, with separate pages for each printing and graded prices where there are enough sales. eBay's sold listings are the other check: search the exact card name and collector number and filter to sold items.
Where TCG Marquee fits
TCG Marquee supports Magic alongside Pokemon, Lorcana, One Piece, and other games. Prices refresh automatically every day for the printing and condition you own, and graded prices are on the Pro plan. Show mode puts your asking price next to the market price on a TV or screen at your table, and you can add cards by scanning them with your phone. The games and features post covers how the other games got added.
What it isn't: a sales history archive. To see every past sale of a card, use PriceCharting or eBay sold listings. TCG Marquee is in open beta, so check its prices against a sold listing or two before a big sale.
FAQ
What is the most expensive card in the Final Fantasy MTG set?
On October 25, 2026, the Japanese borderless Traveling Chocobo (#551) was the top card on PriceCharting at $6,199.50 ungraded. Its four colored foil versions sold for about $1,800 to $2,046 each.
Has Duskmourn rotated out of Standard?
Not yet. Duskmourn and Bloomburrow leave Standard in early 2027, when the first set of that year comes out. Standard-only cards from Duskmourn will likely drop as that gets closer; Commander staples usually hold better.
What's the cheapest way to track MTG card prices for a whole collection?
PriceCharting is free to look up and shows prices from completed sales. For a collection that keeps its value current without lookups, TCG Marquee refreshes prices every day for the exact printing you own.
Are Aetherdrift prices still falling?
Most Aetherdrift cards are worth modest amounts; the serialized Aetherspark at $1,875.00 is the big exception. Check each card's own 30 and 90 day sales rather than the set as a whole.
