The card prices quoted all come from 's Market Price History over the past calendar year (unless noted) and may fluctuat❀e over ti✨me.

10 Underworld Breach – The Lost Caverns Of Ixalan 𝐆

Market Price: $21.75

A beloved combo piece in Modern – and so powerful that it’s banned in Pioneer, Legacy and Explorer – Underworld Breach was first printed in Theros: Beyond Death in 2020, and this Special Guests version marks the first reprint of the 🦂card since it debuted.

The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Special Guests sheet actually featured far more cards than all successive Special Guests releases have thꦚereafter (24) and also was the only Special Guests sheet to feature both rare and uncommon cards; all the following ones gave the cards the mythic rare rarity, no matter what their original ꩵrarities were.

9 Akroma’♔s Memorial – Foundations

Market Price: $22.47

Or🐼iginally printed in Future Sight, this legendary artifact bestows the keyword abilities that Akroma, Angel of Wrath from the Legions set had onto all your creatures – making them incredibly powerful beaters no matter what their power and toughness is.

This version of the card marks the first new, non-Secꦚret Lair artwork in the card’s history, and this card’s stained-glass style is certainly an eye-catching one – perhaps leading to this card's over-$20 price point.

8 Damnation – Duskmourn: House Of Horror 🌳 🅺

Market Price: $22.77

The only card from the Duskmourn: House of Horror Special Guests sheet is a true banger: Damnation ൲was originally printed in Planar Chaos as a color-shifted, black version of Magic’s original board wipe: Wrath of God (which is still one of the b🐷est board wipes of all time).

As it features the truly terrifying artwork of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Duskmourn’s 'big bad' Valgavoth, it’s no wonder this Dus♎kmourn Special Guests card is worth over $20 on the secondary market.

7 Stoneforge Mystic 𓂃– Outlaws Of Thunder Junction 🥂

Market Price: $24.79

While Outlaws of Thunder Junction’s setting didn’t receive rave reviews – it was deemed rather thin and trope-filled by fans – tꦓhe same cannot be said for the setꦅ’s Special Guests bonus sheet.

The first of three cards from the set’s Special Guests cards🐻 found herein is Stoneforge Mystic, a beloved equipment-themed card that can tutor up any equipment from your deck when it enters. It was originally printed in Worldwake back in 2010 - e๊ven that version of the card is worth over $17 - showcasing this Kor Artificer’s impressive staying power.

6 𝔍 Sylvan Tutor – Bloomburrow 🅷

Market Price: $27.70

The delightful cove♏r art for Bloomburrow Collector B🍷ooster Boxes is this powerful green tutor that was first printed in Portal and has actually only seen three reprints – one of which is an ultra-rare Judges Gift Card from 2020.

This gorgeous Special Guests version showcases striking artwork from longtime MTG artist Scott M. Fischer wiꦕth two mages – a frog and a racoon – combining forces to defe𝓀nd Valley, the bucolic home of Bloomburrow’s critters.

5 Scape💎shift – Outlaws Of Thunder Junction 💯

Market Price: $28.54

A remarkably powerful tool for landfall deck﷽s is this green sorcery that was o💖riginally released all the way back in 2008’s Morningtide expansion. Due to this card’s extreme scarcity – only three total printings, including this one – it’s not shocking to see it among the most valuable Special Guests cards.

With breathtakingly beautiful artwork from Joseph Meehan, this card is surely the best-looking💜 version of Scapeshift, and Comma🍸nder combo players would be glad to have a copy of this in their land shenanigans combo deck.

4 Sworꦯd Of Fire And🐻 Ice – Bloomburrow

Market Price: $31.12

Most of the Special Guests cards from Bloomburrow feature absolutely adorable artwork – as does the entire set – and this reprinte💞d sword equipment is no exception.

It was originally printed way back in 2004’s Darksteel expansion, and that version of the card actually fetches a higher price - $39 vs. $31 - likely due to the novelty of being🎶 over 20 years old. However, the Darksteel version doesn’t show an otter transmuting a fish skeleton into a mag🦂ic sword like this one does.

3 Prismatic Vista – Outlaws Of Thunder Junc꧒tion 🦹

Market Price: $34.29

Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse are major staples in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Commander format due to their low rarity and frequent reprints – but the fact that ✤your land comes into play tapped sure is a bummer.

Enter Prismatic Vista! For the low, low c🐼ost of one li🌠fe, you can get that basic land you searched for into play untapped – letting you start cooking up some juicy synergies before you can say 'mana screw.' This card has only been printed three times, so it’s no wonder this Special Guests version’s price point is approaching $35.

2 🐎 Field Of The Dead – 🐭Murders At Karlov Manor

Market Price: $41.41

Field of the Dead was surely a design mistake, as the card w♈as rather swiftly banned in multiple formats after it was released in Core Set 2020. Being able to amass a huge army of Zombie tokens by simply playing lands and using cards that flicker lands or allow you to play extra lands was simply too much to handle.

However, the𒆙 card is still legal in Commander, and this Special Guests version from Mur🉐ders at Karlov Manor – the only card from that set found here – was only the second-ever printing of this rage-inducing nonbasic land, hence its over $40 price tag.

1 Mana C𝓀rypt (#0017a) – The Lost Caverns Of Ixalan

Market Price: $3,496.55 (via )

That’s right, the most valuable Special Guests card can be purchased for the paltry sum of over $3,500 (or over that thanks to sales tax). Why is this card from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Special Guests so valuable? For one thing, it’s a Mana Crypt, which is already among the most highly sought-after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mana rocks in MTG.

Secondly, it combines at least three of the monochrome 'cosmium ink' variants of Lost Caverns’ Man♕a Crypt (red, green and yellow) into one spectacular card. Admittedly, all the 'cosmium ink' varieties of this card would’ve made the list, with the red version to🏅pping out at over $2,000, but it still doesn’t hold a candle to this gorgeous multicolored one.
