Magic: The Gathering · ranking
Most valuable Magic cards.
The most valuable Magic: The Gathering cards, ranked live by reference price. The top of this list is ruled by the Power Nine and the Reserved List, Black Lotus, the Moxen, Timetwister, Mishra's Workshop, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, older cards Wizards of the Coast has promised never to reprint, so their supply can only shrink. That permanent scarcity is why they behave more like assets than game pieces, with high-grade and early-printing copies commanding the steepest premiums. Prices below come from Scryfall (TCGplayer-derived USD), are sorted highest first, refreshed regularly and free to browse, and Reserved List cards are flagged automatically across Foilio's search.
Prices refreshed August 16, 2026 · ranked by TCGplayer reference price · data via Scryfall & TCGdex.
Prices shown are approximate market reference values, aggregated via the free Scryfall (Magic) and pokemontcg.io (Pokémon) data APIs, which in turn reference TCGplayer (USD) and Cardmarket (EUR) values, and are updated periodically. They are not sale records, appraisals, or guaranteed buy/sell prices. Actual value depends on card condition, edition, grading and current demand; always confirm with a live marketplace before buying or selling.
Common questions
Are these the prices cards actually sold for?
No, these are approximate market reference prices aggregated via free card-data APIs (Scryfall for Magic, pokemontcg.io for Pokémon), not records of completed sales. They show roughly what a card trades around; the real price you pay or receive depends on condition, edition, grading and demand at the moment of the deal.
How is this list ranked, and how often does it update?
Cards are ranked highest to lowest by their reference price pulled live from the source data, with unpriced cards left off. Magic prices come from Scryfall (TCGplayer-derived USD); the list is sorted by USD, so the EUR column may not be in strict order. Source prices refresh roughly daily and this page caches them, so figures reflect our most recent reading rather than a live quote.
Why isn't a particular Magic card higher on the list?
A card ranks lower (or doesn't appear) when the source data has no recent reference value for that exact printing, we don't fill those gaps with estimates. We also exclude tokens, oversized/art cards and non-tournament collectible reprints so the ranking stays to genuine cards.
