Edge of Eternities may just be my favorite in-universe set that Magic: The Gathering has released in years. I’ve always been a fan of anything even remotely science fiction, and this set is no exception. Techy artifacts, planets, and world-ending blackholes? What’s not to love?

However, in MTG, not all cards are created equal, both mechanically and monetarily. Some cards are just rarer than others, and die-hard collectors (like myself) will do whatever is necessary to add those cards to our collections. Today, I’ll be sharing the top 10 most expensive cards you can pull from Magic: The Gathering’s latest set.

The Best of Edge of Eternities

Tezzeret, Cruel Captain, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

10. Tezzeret, Cruel Captain #287 ($45.10)

Aura. Just raw Aura. Instantly showcases the tone of Edge of Eternities.This card is Tezzeret at his absolute coolest. Not only does it look cool, though, but it’s a wonderful planeswalker that could fit into any heavy artifact deck. He is a bit different from other planeswalkers in that he relies on the player playing artifacts to gain his loyalty counters, giving him a hard limit on how many loyalty counters he may gain without some sort of recursion.

Devastating Onslaught, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

9. Devastating Onslaught #387 ($57.32)

This card art puts you directly into the driver’s seat of one of Edge of Eternity’s new intergalactic vessels. Devastating Onslaught is, as described, a true onslaught, perfect for a red artifact deck. The ability to summon a large number of artifact/creature tokens with haste can be a fast track to an early victory in any game.

Uthros, Titanic Godcore, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

8. Uthros, Titanic Godcore #380 ($65.54)

Our first stinker. Don’t get me wrong, the actual artwork on the card is fantastic and perfectly conveys the sort of tone that Edge of Eternities is going for, and the tap ability is awesome too, but I just do not enjoy the galaxyfoil style in Edge of Eternities. There is so much blank space on the card, it just ends up looking ugly and boring compared to other treatments. Not worth the price.

Evendo, Waking Haven, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

7. Evendo, Waking Haven #374 ($70.16)

Again, another stinker. I just don’t know why WOTC is trying to push these sorts of half-blank cards into MTG. The art is wonderful, but the blank space is just so distracting that I can’t help but hate it. It feels like they’re trying to save money on their printing by avoiding using the colored ink that would actually highlight the card’s illustration. Not worth it.

Anticausal Vestige, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

6. Anticausal Vestige #383 ($120.93)

An absolute bombshell of a card, and a perfect example of why I love the fracturefoil treatment on cards. It fits the sci-fi theme of the set perfectly, giving a galactic sheen to every card it’s on. This new Eldrazi creature isn’t half bad either, allowing you to get a freebie monster onto the battlefield as it leaves.

The Endstone, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

5. The Endstone #391 ($171.05)

Now, this card’s effect is a bit trickier than the others listed. At a hefty cost of 7 generic mana, I assume this is meant to be played later in the game, which might let you gain some free health if you’re extremely low, but even then, I don’t think it’s all that powerful. The art, however, is very powerful. A planet-sized colossus harnessing the power of The Endstone in space? Electrifying.

Icetill Explorer, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

4. Icetill Explorer #388 ($232.44)

I am not a big insect lover. Not in real life, and not in MTG. This card comes close to making me change my mind, though. The illustration is incredibly crisp and clear, and the insectoid design reminds me of something that would show up in Kamen Rider or some other Tokusatsu property. I just can’t get enough. I can imagine this as an easy fit in any landfall deck.

Starfield Vocalist, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

3. Starfield Vocalist #385 ($239.51)

With only a seven-dollar difference between Starfield Vocalist and Icetill Explorer, I’d have a real hard time choosing which one I wanted to get. Icetill Explorer looks like a Tokusatsu villain; meanwhile, Starfield Vocalist wouldn’t look out of place next to any member of the Vocaloid cast. A worthy choice for any blue deck.

Exalted Sunborn, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

2. Exalted Sunborn #384 ($272.20)

Exalted Sunborn has to be one of my favorite cards out of the entire Edge of Eternities set. If you asked me to imagine an “Angel Wizard,” I don’t know that I’d be able to think of anything even a tenth as fitting as this illustration. The glimmering skin, the disjointed wings, and the eye right in the center of the torso are just perfection.

Sothera, the Supervoid, Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast

1. Sothera, the Supervoid #382 ($1,649.67)

Quite a massive difference in price between the number two and the number one of Edge of Eternities, huh? And you wouldn’t know it by looking at it, due to the lack of text, but Sothera, the Supervoid is a legendary enchantment makes it so that whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent must exile a creature they control, and when a player has no creatures, you may sacrifice Sothera to bring back a creature from exile with two +1+1 counters on it.

Not bad, but I find the singularityfoil treatment a little underwhelming for the set’s chase card. I would still be excited to pull it from a pack, just not as excited as some other chase cards we’ve had before. But there you have it; the best cards you can pull in the Edge of Eternities Magic: The Gathering set. Keep your eyes peeled, and maybe you’ll pull one for yourself.
