As any TCG enthusiast knows, prized cards can go for hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars, and this is no different for MTG sets that will be released in 2025, but it's one of the most exciting. These cards range from completely new cards that have never been seen before to cards that have been around since 1993, so this set has something for everyone.

The market rate for these cards changes over time; the information here is only as accurate as it can be at the time of writing. All the prices can be found at TCGPlayer, and will change as more cards are bought and sold. One thing that won't change, however, is the fact that Showcase and Fracture Foil versions of cards will always cost more than their base versions due to their rarity and beauty.

10 Muldrotha, the Gravetide (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $146.27

This Compelling Commander Card Makes Its Redebut

Muldrotha, the Gravetide returns in glorious fashion with Showcase and Fracture Foil reprint. It first made its way into player hands in the Domniaria expansion in 2018 and made some pretty cool decks that focused on permanents that can sacrifice themselves, allowing the player to get their effect every turn. Live the necromancer dream with the 10th most expensive card to come out of the MTG: Foundations print.

Some cards are banned in Commander decks, but it's unlikely any Foundations cards will be quick to find themselves on this list.

Muldrotha is a popular Commander to run with cards like Mindslaver, Lotus Petal, and Displacer Kitten, allowing players to farm a spell of their choosing. This card essentially allows players to treat their Graveyard like a second hand, forcing opponents to consider not only what they might play, but also to what they've already played when formulating their strategy. The beauty of the new Muldrotha, The Gravetide as both a Showcase and Fracture Foil card, along with its excellent playmaking capability, make it one of the best cards in the MTG: Foundations release.

9 Kaito, Cunning Infiltrator (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $151.13

Grab This Planeswalker In Beautiful Fracture Foil

Of the Planeswalkers in the MTG: Foundations series, Kaito is the only one that got Showcase art, allowing him to be the priciest Planeswalker in the release. Before Kaito even gets ramped up, his lower-level effects are still useful to add tokens the player's side of the board. If he's able to go on long enough, Kaito, Cunning Infiltrator becomes even more effective, allowing the player to benefit from not only their own spells, but also the spells of their opponents.

Foundations is intended to be a return to the basics, making it easier for new players to really get a handle on building decks, playing different formats, and learning the game. Though Planeswalkers can be confusing for new players, Kaito is a pretty simple one overall. He's also cheap enough that new players shouldn't have too much trouble getting him on the field either.

8 Doubling Season (Showcase) - $159.86

These Cute Kitties Play Well With Commanders

At its release in 2005, Doubling Season was not a commonly used card, but that all changed when Commander became more popular. Its ability means that Commander cards will get double the amount of tokens and counters as they normally would. Planeswalkers enter the battle with double their typical loyalty counters, allowing them to become effective far quicker.

You can look anywhere you like to find MTG pricing, though there are some very common, reputable sources for card purchasing.

The original Doubling Season is nice enough, but the Foundations Showcase reprint features a delightful scene. This, combined with its high rarity, has allowed Doubling Season's price to shoot to well above $100 and even beat out some of the Foundations Fracture Foil cards in of price. Doubling Season's Foundations reprint is appealing to hardcore Commander players and more casual players alike.

7 Progenitus (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $161.61

An Absolute Juggernaut With Clean Art

Progenitus has been in the game since Conflux was released in 2009, it's been a tricky enough card to build into your deck. However, now Progenitus is back in a Showcase and Fracture Foil print. It might be time to pick up a Rafiq of the Many as an excuse to use this absolutely gorgeous card.

Though it's got a pretty steep cost at two of each color of mana, Progenitus can be really annoying to get rid of for opponents.

If you can get the mana to get it on the field, Progenitus can do 22 damage to a player in a single turn if used with Rafiq of the Many. Declare Progenitor as your only attacker, allowing you to deal enough commander damage to instantly take out the other player. This is thanks to Rafiq giving both +1/+1 and doublestrike to any creature that attacks alone. However, you don't need the $160 print of Progenitus for this to work.

6 Day of Judgement (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $179.94

A Simple Enough Effect, But It Devastates Indiscriminately

Day of Judgement has been around and wiping tables since 2011, and it's back and better than ever with a new Showcase and Fracture Foil printing. Coming in at a whopping $180, Day of Judgement's Foundations printing is nothing to sneeze at, particularly for fans of white/black decks where creatures can regenerate. This card is unique in that it allows for the creatures it destroys to be regenerated, providing the a bit of an out when decimating everything else on the field.

Unlike Wrath of God, which doesn't allow for regeneration, Day of Judgement is a bit more -friendly. There is nothing about the card preventing Day of Judgement s from regenerating their creatures, allowing them a significant leg up on any players caught unaware. Particularly for Commander players, Day of Judgement is a pretty scary threat, and its Foundations print just makes it that much more so.

5 Bloodthirsty Conqueror (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $208.97

Another New Card With Huge Potential And Intricate Artwork

Bloodthirsty Conqueror is another Showcase Fracture Foil that makes its debut in Magic the Gathering: Foundations alongside Kaito, Cunning Infiltrator, but at almost double the price of the other Commander. It's got lifesteal that already makes it a formidable creature, but can be paired with Marauding Blight-Priest for an instant win button. This isn't the only awesome combo that the Bloodthirsty Conqueror can make, but it is the easiest.

Featuring the Bloodthirsty Conqueror himself, this card's art is as gorgeous as it is hard to parse. Between the bats and Fracture Foil effect, there's a lot to look at, but that doesn't detract from how cool a card this is. It'll set players back over $200, but for the discerning collector, it's worth it.

4 Herald of Eternal Dawn (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $235.79

With An Interesting Effect, Herald of Eternal Dawn Changes The Game

The Herald of Eternal Dawn card is new to Magic with the release of Foundations, and with its effect, there's no wonder this card is so pricey. The Herald prevents the player from losing the game, and also prevents their opponents from winning the game, stalling out any plans they might have. You'll need a hefty seven mana to play it, but once you do, you're set up for a few cool plays.

The Herald is useful with cards like Nine Lives that will normally cause the game to be lost when the card leaves the field, allowing the player to circumvent those tricky downsides.

Herald can be used as a sort of stop-gap when an opponent plays a bit faster, and the unique-ness of its effect is just one factor in its price. It also has a beautiful Showcase and Fracture Foil print that are highly sought-after, much like most of the other Showcase prints in the release. With even its basic print version going for around $30, it's no wonder that the special editions of this card are even more expensive.

3 Twinflame Tyrant (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $282.40

Back To The Basics: This Red Card Does Straight-Up Damage

For a few reasons, the Twinflame Tyrant is the third most expensive card right now from the Magic the Gathering: Foundations set. There are two versions of this card, both original to Foundations, that have the same effect. As expected, the Showcase and Fracture Foil version of this card is worth much more than its base variant.

The Twinflame Tyrant deals double damage to any opponent or permanent that the opponent controls, which is already excellent on its own. However, when paired with Heartless Hidegetsu, the Tyrant becomes truly unstoppable. Hidegetsu deals half a player's life total rounded down, so when the two Creatures are used at the same time, any opponent with even life loses instantly. Either way, the Twinflame Tyrants' simple damage capacity and awesome art make it highly sought-after.

2 Llanowar Elves (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $317.47

Simple And Beautiful, The Llanowar Elves Are An MTG Classic

While the Llanowar Elves' effect is simple enough, its Showcase art is intricate and rich; add the Fracture Foil effect on top and this is one card that's simply excellent to look at. Ever since their release in 1993, the Llanowar Elves have been a staple of Green decks. The Foundations release of this card honors this time-tested piece of Magic the Gathering history.

Any collector would be happy to add any Showcase and Fracture Foil card to their repertoire, and the Llanowar Elves are no exception. Coming in second in of price, this card has been reprinted multiple sets. However, the Foundations version stands out as one of the most beautiful.

1 Doubling Season (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $337.00

Doubling Season Is So Good, It's Here Twice

No, it's not déjà vu, two versions of Doubling Season really do make the list of ten most expensive MTG: Foundations cards. It's perhaps unsurprising that the Showcase and Fracture Foil version of the card goes for significantly more than the Showcase-only version, but everyone but the most avid collector will balk at the price. Not only is it a shiny version of an already beautiful card, but as mentioned before, it's just downright useful in Token, Counter, and Commander decks.

By just about $20, Doubling Season's Showcase and Fracture Foil print is the most expensive card to come out of the Magic The Gathering: Foundations set. Topping out at Doubling Season's $337 price-point, the range of this set's cards go from just a few bucks to hundreds, so avid players will be praying for the luck of the draw to be on their side. Like any TCG, there's no way to guarantee a pull, so players who really want these top-tier cards will have to open their wallets.
