This non-standard-legal set has several cards that were exclusive to digital games, special full-art cards never before seen, and a return to the controversial white border on some cards. Among all the fun in this set are a few high-value cards, so let’s take a look at some of the most valuable cards in the set.

These prices come from TCGPlayer’s Market Value and are subject to change over time.

Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero

Futureshifted Frame – $98.96

The hero of the first Phyrexian Invasion on Dominaria, Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero is back after his appearance in Commander 2019. This red and white creature embodies the heroic spirit of Gerrard with its ability.

When Gerrard dies, you can choose to exile him, returning all creatures and artifacts that end to the graveyard this turn back to the battlefield. In the Magic story, Gerrard makes the sacrifice play, along with Urza and Karn, contributing to the death of Yawgmoth and the rebirth of Karn as a new planeswalker.

9

Arcane Signet

Futureshifted Frame – $114.41

The Commander staple makes an appearance as not only one of the most valuable cards in Mystery Booster 2 but also as one of the most expensive variants of the card in general.

Arcane Signet slots into practically every Commander deck as a cheap way to make whatever mana you need. This version comes with the old futureshifted frame, which is definitely a vibe but is beloved among collectors who like something different. If you’re on the hunt for some unique cards for your Commander deck, you can’t go wrong with this one.

8

Rusko, Clockmaker

$118.51

Originally from Magic: The Gathering Arena’s Alchemy: The Brothers’ War expansion, Rusko, Clockmaker makes his first appearance in paper Magic with this card. Mystery Booster 2 is also the first set to bring digital-only mechanics, like Rusko’s conjure ability, to physical Magic.

This can only really be done with specific cards like Rusko, since he produces a real Magic card, Midnight Clock. Sure, you’ll likely need a bunch of extra Midnight Clocks if you want to play him in a Commander deck, but it’s a very powerful card so it is worth it.

7

Reflecting Pool

Future Sight Frame – $139.10

Having perfect mana is key in practically any multicolor Commander deck, so Reflecting Pool becomes an instant auto-include in your deck. This land taps to add one mana to your mana pool, though it is limited to only making mana based on what your other lands can produce.

So if you have Swamp out and Reflecting Pool, your Pool only makes black mana. But if you have a Command Tower, which makes mana depending on your commander’s color identity, you have access to all the colors you could possibly need.

6

Command Tower

Futureshifted Frame – $148.99

Speaking of Command Tower, the Commander staple also comes in a Futureshifted frame for the first time, contributing to its high value. Futureshifted cards are quite rare in Mystery Booster 2, contributing to their high value to collectors and players.

The other thing of note with version of Command Tower is that this is only the second time that there has been a physical printed version of the card with this artwork. Previously, it was only available in the Commander’s Arsenal printing. It has been available digitally on Magic: The Gathering Online in several other printings though.

5

Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist

Futureshifted Frame – $163.28

Another hero from the original Phyrexian Invasion saga and crew member of the Weatherlight airship, Mirri returns to the game, this time with the Futureshifted frame. This three-mana Cat Warrior restricts your opponent’s options when it comes to blocking and attacking, restricting the battlefield to your favor.

When Mirri attacks, your opponents can’t block with more than one creature that combat step. Then, if Mirri is tapped, your opponent can’t attack you with more than one creature. Keep in mind that if you have a Battle or Planeswalker out, your opponents can attack them with all the creatures they like.

4

Titania, Protector Of Argoth

Futureshifted Frame – $221.12

An incredibly powerful legendary creature from Dominaria’s ancient history, Titania, Protector of Argoth has popped up a few times in Magic’s modern history, with this iteration being particularly strong.

Titania lets you bring back a land from the graveyard to the battlefield when she comes into play. Then, when a land goes back to the graveyard, Titania makes a 5/3 Elemental creature token. This can be very strong in decks that mess with your land base, moving them into and out of the graveyard multiple times a turn. It also synergizes particularly well with Fetch Lands, since you don’t end up losing a land by the end of it.

3

Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor

Futureshifted Frame – $252.12

One of the original Phyrexians that entered Dominaria when Urza and Mithra were still young, Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor is a brutally powerful creature, one that provides card advantage in a few different ways.

Anytime a creature deals combat damage to an opponent, that creature’s controller can pay one life to draw a card. This is worded specifically to work for your opponents too, rewarding them for attacking other players and avoiding you. You can also dump seven mana into Gix and discard X card to steal the top X cards of their deck for yourself, letting you cast spells and play lands for as long as those cards are in exile.

2

Oracle Of The Alpha

$252.90

A fascinating creature that gives you a chance to use some of the most powerful cards Magic has ever seen, Oracle of the Alpha is a timewarp back to Magic’s first set. When the Oracle comes into play, you conjure nine cards into your library.

Specifically, you get to conjure the Power Nine, which are:

• Ancestral Recall
• Black Lotus
• Mox Emerald
• Mox Jet
• Mox Pearl
• Mox Ruby
• Mox Sapphire
• Timetwister
• Time Walk

Even better, you can blink Oracle of the Alpha a few times to get even more copies of cards like Time Walk in your deck to start taking as many turns as you need.

1

Urza, Lord High Artificer

Futureshifted Frame – $380.45

Urza is one of the most iconic characters from Magic’s extensive history and his card displays just a fraction of his power. Urza does a ton, creating a creature token, generating mana, and giving you free cards which is just incredible.

The artwork for this Urza comes from an old supplementary set called Vanguard, marking it as the first time this artwork has been featured on a regular Magic card. Other older Magic cards got this treatment, including Gix, Titania, Mirri, Gerrard, and more.
