The Top 10 Most Valuable Magic: The Gathering Cards That Released in 2025

Magic: The Gathering is about to kick off its 2026 roadmap with Lorwyn Eclipsed, but 2025 will certainly go down in the history books. While some sets were certainly weaker than others (yes, we’re looking at you, Spider-Man), others soared to new heights, like Universes Beyond: Final Fantasy, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and Edge of Eternities.

Still, which cards are the ones to emerge from 2025 with the highest price? From high-value reprints to serial-numbered cards and the game’s first Infinity Stone, it’s been a wild year for collectors.

Here are 2025’s most valuable Magic: The Gathering cards, as calculated by TCGPlayer’s pricing guides.

Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER (Borderless Surge Foil) - $501.50

Kicking off with one of gaming’s most iconic baddies, Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER is the most valuable Borderless Surge Foil card on this list.

His artwork looks amazing, but he also transforms into his One-Winged Angel version and gains access to Super Nova and plenty of card draw opportunities.

Sephiroth will currently set you back around $500 for a mint copy, but it’s selling for more.

Spectacular Spider-Man (Borderless Textured Foil) - Up to $571

The Spectacular Spider-Man series of cards ranges from the classic Spidey suit to Future Foundation, eight-armed Spidey, and even the paper bag-clad version in Fantastic Four pyjamas.

Depending on the version you get, you could be sitting on $374, or a whopping $571, with the Symbiote Suit version taking top prize.

Interestingly, only the 0241 (Future Foundation) card isn’t available at all on TCGPlayer.

Sothera, the Supervoid (Singularity Foil) - $1,480

The lone appearance of Edge of Eternities in this list, the Sothera card in its Singularity foil will set you back almost $1,500.

As for what it does, that’s hard to tell because it literally doesn’t tell you. Thankfully, other printings make it clear that it’s a Legendary Enchantment that exiles opponents’ creatures and brings them back under your control, with additional counters on them.

Mox Jasper (Serial Numbered) - $1,500

The top-earner from Tarkir: Dragonstorm (a great set, by the way), Mox Jasper’s serialized version is numbered up to 500, pushing the value up to around $1,500.

For that, you're getting literal free mana since the card has no mana cost but taps for mana, so long as you control a dragon.

I’d love one for my Commander deck, but not at this price, sadly.

The Aetherspark (Serial Numbered) - $1,650

Aetherdrift might not live long in the memory for many, but The Aetherspark is a very, very cool card - especially if you have one of the 500 serialized versions.

A Planeswalker that attaches to a creature and can be used for card draw or as a huge mana rock, it’s still going for over $1,650. Great artwork, too.

Edgar Markov (Showcase, Serial Numbered, Double Rainbow Foil) - $2,400

I recently picked up an Edgar Markov card to start building my vampire Commander deck, but there was no way I was spending $2,400.

Magic’s most famous vampire doesn’t come cheap if you find this Serial Numbered, Double Rainbow Foil card, but it looks amazing.

His abilities trigger even when he’s in the Command Zone, building you a colossal army of Vampires to power up.

Avatar Neon Ink Foil Cards - up to $2,752

The last set of 2025, Avatar: The Last Airbender, was a huge improvement on the Spider-Man set that preceded it.

These Neon Ink Foil Cards look awesome, but vary wildly in price. Fire Lord Zuko is worth just under $500, while Aang, Swift Savior is just over $700. After that, Katara, the Fearless will set you back $2,500.

Top of the pile, however, is Toph, the First Metalbender. That card is $2,752 right now - wow.

Avatar Aang (Raised Foil) - $2,867

Only one Avatar card beats out Toph’s Neon Ink Foil card, and it’s… Avatar Aang, of course. This Raised Foil version of the card is close to $3,000 in value.

It’s a four-cost card with flying and firebending, and bending draws a card. Trigger firebending, earthbending, airbending and waterbending in a single turn, and he turns into Aang, Master of Elements.

This lowers the cost of spells, gains you life, and deals damage. Oh, and he’s a 6/6 flyer.

Travelling Chocobos ($1,967 to $6,576)

Still top of the pile for Final Fantasy, the Travelling Chocobos vary wildly in price, but you wouldn’t be unhappy if you packed any of them.

The Pink and Yellow ones in the Neon Ink go for just under $2,000, while the Green one goes for over $2,200 and the Blue one goes for almost $2,400.

The top one, however, is the Japan-exclusive Black Chocobo, which costs over $6,500.

The Soul Stone (Multiple)

The Spider-Man set wasn’t great, but it did give us Magic’s most valuable card of 2025 with the game’s first Infinity Stone.

The Borderless variant is awesome, showing Thanos with the stone in his gauntlet all for the low, low price of $1,275, but the Cosmic Foil one is the real moneymaker.

It’s dropped in recent months, but has still sold most recently for an incredible $24,000, making it the most valuable Magic card of 2025 by a long, long way.

Magic: The Gathering Full Release Schedule for 2026

Magic: The Gathering had some great sets in 2025, but it also showed Wizards of the Coast perhaps straying a little too far from what makes the long-running card game special.

That’s not to say Universes Beyond was a total bust. Final Fantasy brought in record-breaking numbers of players, and Avatar: The Last Airbender was a return to some semblance of form after the disappointment of Spider-Man.

Still, cardboard waits for no Planeswalker, and there are more sets in 2026 - seven, in total. That’s before we even get into the myriad of Secret Lair drops, and perhaps most worryingly, four of those sets are Universes Beyond.

Will they end up being closer to Final Fantasy or Spider-Man? And will the in-universe sets live up to the high bar set by Tarkir: Dragonstorm or Edge of Eternities? Here’s everything coming to Magic: The Gathering in 2026.

Lorwyn Eclipsed - January 23, 2026

If you’ve been yearning for a return to Lorwyn, the first set of 2026 is here to get things started. The set is a Universes Within to kick off the year, and marks the debut of the Draft Night Box.

You can preorder it now, and it’ll see the return of Commander Decks for the first time since 2025’s Edge of Eternities with two options: A five-color, or a Jund option.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - March 6, 2026

Wizards of the Coast revealed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at Comic-Con New York, with Universes Beyond going back to The Big Apple for the second time in a few months.

Still, expect colorful new art of the Heroes in a Half Shell, their assorted rogues gallery, and the debut of a Turtle Team Up co-op game mode.

We've got a full rundown of the product lineup, so be sure to check out the preorder guide, including a five-color Commander deck that stars all four Turtles.

Secrets of Strixhaven - April 2026

We still don’t know a great deal about our return to Strixhaven, but it is getting its own tie-in novel.

This Plane has been fertile ground for fun card designs and characters in the past, so here’s hoping for something good when it arrives in April.

Marvel Superheroes - June 2026

Spider-Man arrived in 2025, and now more Marvel heroes are coming to MTG, too.

We’ve already seen cards for Iron Man, Black Panther, Fantastic Four, and more, and the set will lean on comic book versions of the Marvel universe’s characters. Will it be better than the underwhelming Spider-Man set, though? We’re at least hoping the increased roster of heroes and (hopefully) villains will make this more exciting.

We’re expecting a Mentor/Sidekick theme, and for this one to be a popular entry point for new players. It might even be a good choice for a Beginner Box.

The Hobbit - August 2026

We’re going back to Middle-earth! Universes Beyond: Lord of the Rings was a colossal win for Magic: The Gathering, and the fact its fantasy theming fit so well with the card game means it feels a lot less jarring than other crossovers.

The only information we have so far is the following:

“Join Bilbo’s adventure of a lifetime with Dwarves to befriend, Trolls to trick, Elves to outwit, and songs to sing. There's gold or dragon’s fire at the end, so enjoy the journey!”

Give us some Five Armies Commander Decks, please, or at least a Smaug card that isn’t just a Token creature.

Reality Fracture - October 2026

The last in-universe set of 2026 is Reality Fracture, and it’ll feature callbacks to Tarkir: Dragonstorm and Outlaws of Thunder Junction.

The team has suggested it has a theme players have wanted for a long time, but that’s all we know so far.

Star Trek - November 2026

If you felt Wizards had got the sci-fi out of their system with the (excellent) Edge of Eternities, think again.

November 2026 will see the arrival of a Star Trek set to celebrate that franchise’s 60th Anniversary, and it’ll incorporate everything from the original series to Strange New Worlds. It even got a trailer.

Magic's 2025 Sets - At a Glance

It’s also good idea to take stock of 2025’s sets, because it was definitely a year that divided opinion.

  • Innistrad: Remastered - January 24
  • Aetherdrift - February 14
  • Tarkir: Dragonstorm - April 11
  • Final Fantasy - June 13
  • Edge of Eternities - August 1
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man - September 16
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender - November 21

That’s seven sets in total, with three of those being Universes Beyond collaborations with the likes of Square Enix, Marvel, and Nickelodeon. And, from looking at the 2026 schedule, it looks as though Wizards is looking to stick to that ratio.
