Out of all the fantasy-based card games to hit the market over the years, there is none that is quite as respected as Magic: The Gathering. And a big part of what has made it so popular since i🌃t premiered in 1993 is the amount of strategy that goes into it.

With five different types of mana (swamp, plains, island, forest, and mountain), innumerable creature types, artifacts, enchantments, and other types of spells, there are so many ways the game can be played and so many combinations for decks that it ensures no two games will play out the same way. You can keep your Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering is definite🅺ly the most in-depth card game out🅷 there.

And just like every collectible card game, Magic: The Gathering is home to all manner of rare and expensi♍ve cards. Some of them are rare because of their incredible abilities and advantages they can give a player over their opponents. In fact, seeing some of the cards on this list in a deck you're facing off against should cause you to panic. Others, however, are simply rare because they could only be found in the original set of cards printed in 1993. And then there are some that are rare because of both facets.

If you own any of the following cards, you should count yourself lucky. And then immediately put said cards in a safe place. Here are 25 Magic: The Gathering♐ cards that are impossible to find and how m🌄uch they’re worth.

25 ✅ Jace, The Mind Sculptor: $90 -ꦑ $360

Getting a Planeswalker oꦕut onto the field is a really great way to cause extra mayhem for your opponents. While they can’t attack, adding or taking away counters each turn can give you certain advantages.

For this particular one, Jace’s -12 ability makes him a huge target as soon as he comes out.

It can essentially cause one of the players to lose as it exiles all cards in their library, but Jace’s other abilities are really useful too. He appeared in the Worldwake expansion🦄, and while the more common car💦d is valued at $90, the foil version is $360.

24 Rishadan Port: $60 - $550 𒆙

Land is essential to play the game, but one with a strategic bonus is something that every playeꦕr should want in their deck. Although, you might want to look for one that’s a bit easier to find than Rishadan Port.

It can tap for one colorless mana. But, more importantly, you can pay one mana to tap it and tap a target land. This can come in handy when t⛎rying to stop your opponents from playing their spells. Originally from the Mercadian Masques set, a regular card is valued around $60 but the elusive foil version is $550.

23 Wheel Of Fortuꦓne: $100 - $2,200

There are many cards from the original set in 1993 that we🎉re reprinted a few times, making for wide price ranges༺ depending on which version the card is. Wheel of Fortune is such a card.

It’s a sorcery card that forces every player, including the caster, to discard their hand and draw seven new cards.

The revised edition (black-bordered third edition of the original cards) is valued around $10☂0, but the alpha edition (first printing of the original cards in 1993) is valued around $2,200. There are several other printings of the card that fall somewhere between.

22 Ravages Of War:ꦫ $105 - $200 🎶

Ravages of War is an extremely risky card to have in your deck as this sorcery destroys all lands, including y💖our own. But if the game isn’t going well, it can help to have this little reset.

It was part of the Portal Three Kingdoms expansion released in 1999. These cards were specifically released for the Asian market, while the only English language translations were sold in Australia and New Zealand. This is why it’s a little hard to find and valued at $200. It was also reprinted for Magic: The Gathering Judges, and that version is valued at $105.

21 Liliana Of The Veil: $75 - $3♔50 ꦕ

Another Planeswalker, but one whose abilities can be achieved much more quickly than Jace’s🦄. Adding a counter will cause each player to discard a card. But if one so chose, they could play her and immediately have an opponent sacrifice a creature. Her -6 ability, however, would cause a player to frustrat✱ingly sacrifice half their permanents on the field.

Originally from the Innistrad expansion, Liliana’s value can range depending on what set you found her in. But the foil version from that set ha💛s been known to sell for $250 - $350 depending on condition.

20 ꦆ Mox Jet: $235 - $3,200

There are several cards from the original 1993 set that were way too powerful and were thus banned from most c🦋ompetitions. Mox Jet is one of them. It’s an artifact that you can play without tapping any mana, and it also taps to add one swamp to your mana pool.

Unlike lands, you can play as many artifacts during one turn as you are able.

This resulted in early mana ramping, letting player🎃s get sꦅpells out much more quickly. It hasn’t been reprinted since the early 90s and one from the Beta or Unlimited printings can go for $3,200.

19 Mutওavault: $600 ꦯ

There are a few versions of Mutavault without full art, but the one with it is the card that’s worth some money. It was given out as a Cha🎉mps Promo card for players that won competitions so not many exist, hence the price. It being foil only makes it extra special.

It’s also fairly useful to have in your deck. It can tap to add one colorless mana or you can pay one to turn it into a 2/2 creature with all creature types until end of turn. Maybe pick up one of the far cheaper, n𓄧on-full-art versions though.

18 Eles💛h Norn, Grand Cenobite: $290 🐬

Any card that can give all your cr💜eatures +2/+2, and all of the creatures your opponents control -2/-2, is a good card to have. This 4/7 Legendary creature does that, and it also has vigilance. Needless to say, it’s pretty powerful before boosting it with any number of cards.

It’s normally only worth about $15, but the foil version given out to judges is the one for collectors.

That one goes for about $290. It’s not as old as some other cards on this list as the expansion premiered in 2003, so it’ll probably k♏eep going up in value.

17 ꦓ Moat: $775 ܫ

If you’re running a deck that heavily features creatures with flying, this enchantment would no doubt be a welcome addition as 🌱it stops all non-flying creatures from attacking. And if your opponents don’t have any creatures with flying or reach, this means they can’t block you either.

Yes, it would be a fantastic card to have if only it wasn’t $775 and had ever been reprinted.

It appeared in the L🐬eꦓgends expansion, which was the third expansion ever printed in 1994.

16 Mox Pearl🔯: $188 - $3,714

Before this list reaches its end, you’ll have seen all five of these Moxen cards as the🐽y’re incredibly overpowered yet ve🐻ry hard to find. Mox Pearl works exactly like Mox Jet, just with white mana. It has been reprinted a couple of times but that doesn’t make it any easier to find.

All five of these artifact cards were reprinted within the first expansion and within the first couple of years of Magic’s creation.

T⭕h🧸e international version of the card is the cheapest at $188, while the original alpha version is valued around $3,715.
