After an unusually split spoiler season, everything from Marvel Super Heroes has finally been revealed. For the most part, this set is pretty tame; however, there are a few competitive and Commander gems to be excited about. Alongside these, Marvel Super Heroes has a surprisingly compelling suite of reprints, especially in its source material bonus sheet.
Thankfully, the source material cards aren’t the only impressive reprints in Marvel Super Heroes. Between the four Commander precons and the Jumpstart set, there are some fantastic high-value cards, too. While it’s too early to tell how expensive some of the new mechanically unique cards will be, many reprints don’t disappoint.
Whether you’re looking to recoup costs, budget for precon upgrades, or are just curious, we’ve got you covered. These are the most expensive Marvel Super Heroes Commander cards at the time of writing, but things are set to change. While it’s all reprints for now, once the set has officially launched on June 26th, we’ll update this article with any expensive new cards, too.
10 | Birds of Paradise
Source: Wakanda Forever | Price: $11
As one of the most iconic mana dorks in Magic: The Gathering, it’s little wonder that Birds of Paradise is expensive. Selling for around $11.36 at its cheapest, this bird has maintained a healthy price point throughout repeated reprints. Considering Birds of Paradise is played within over 1.16 million Commander decks, this resilience makes a lot of sense.
Notably, while Birds of Paradise can be picked up for around $11, this new variant may be a fair bit more expensive. This is thanks to this variant’s new art, which is always enticing for a card so popular. With past precon printings with new art selling for around $13, this new variant should make the Wakanda Forever precon that little bit better.
9 | Kindred Discovery
Source: Avengers Assemble | Price: $13
While blue-aligned decks rarely struggle for card draw, Kindred Discovery makes that trivial feat truly effortless. In any typal deck build, Kindred Discovery essentially reads ‘whenever a creature you control enters or attacks, draw a card.’ Thanks to this insane power, Kindred Discovery is a staple in tons of decks like Merfolk, Dragons, Faeries, and even Slivers.
Because of this, copies of Kindred Discovery tend to sell for around the $13 mark. While there’s a bit of wiggle room on either side, high demand means this new reprint should be similarly expensive. That said, it’s unclear how much MTG players will vibe with the new Marvel-themed art, which may be a big decider.
8 | Seize the Day
Source: Fantastic Four | Price: $14
There might be tons of extra combat step cards in MTG nowadays, but Seize the Day is still one of the best. It may only untap one creature, and its combo potential is middling, but its cost makes that a non-issue. Not only is this card’s base rate affordable, but you can even cast it twice in the same turn with enough mana.
Thanks to this, Seize the Day can easily end games if you’ve got a powerful creature. To complement this power, this card is also rather expensive, currently selling for $14. While this makes it a decent addition to the Fantastic Four precon, its price may plummet soon.
For better or worse, Seize the Day is being reprinted twice in Marvel Super Heroes. Appearing both in the precon and in the source material bonus sheet, players are about to be inundated with supply. While there is some demand that could keep prices somewhat high, Seize the Day is by no means a super staple.
7 | Time Warp
Source: Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart | Price: $14
For now, Time Warp is the only card on this list not from one of the Marvel Super Heroes Commander precons. Beyond being a neat quirk, sadly, this makes this reprint a whole lot worse. Since this card only appears in one out of the 51 new Jumpstart theme packs, pulling this card will be somewhat difficult.
While this means that this Time Warp is unlikely to bring prices down, it could easily have the opposite effect. So long as MTG players gel with the art, then this new printing could end up being pretty pricy. Currently, it’s unclear exactly where it might end up, but the Japanese Mystical Archive printing is selling for $25 for comparison.
6 | Spectator Seating
Source: Avengers Assemble | Price: $16
Originally printed in Commander Legends, Spectator Seating is part of a cycle that doesn’t get printed nearly often enough. As unique lands that care about the number of opponents you have, these cards are basically only good in Commander. Technically, you can use them in Two-Headed Giant formats, too, but these aren’t nearly as popular.
Despite being the perfect lands for Commander, Spectator Seating, and the rest of the cycle rarely get reprinted. Since its debut, this card has only reappeared in Commander Masters, which is endlessly frustrating. Realistically, these cards could, and honestly should, be reprinted in any on-color precon.
If there is any silver lining, it’s that Spectator Seating and co are all rather expensive. Hopefully, the latest reprint should help with this a bit, but it should have decent value on the secondary market for those looking to sell it.
5 | Kindred Dominance
Source: Doom Prevails| Price: $17
Much like Kindred Discovery, Kindred Dominance is a shoo-in for any black-aligned typal deck. Hell, even in decks with only a partial focus on one creature type, this can be a one-sided board wipe. Thanks to this, it’s arguably one of the best in the business, even if it is on the expensive side at seven mana.
Thanks to seeing play in over 172,000 Commander decks, Kindred Dominance is pretty expensive financially, too. Even after being reprinted a few times, this card is still selling for around $17 on average. Given the high demand, this new reprint might not offer a significant saving, so long as players like the art, at least.
4| Bountiful Promenade
Source: Wakanda Forever| Price: $18
Thanks to being printed in the cycle’s first half-appearance, this Bond Land is on the most expensive side. Since Battlebond wasn’t printed as widely, there’s slightly less supply to go around, pushing prices up. Hopefully, this means this reprint will have a stronger effect than usual, especially since Selesnya decks are the least popular color combination.
Outside of its rarity, Bountiful Promenade is the same as all of the other Bond Lands. This card isn’t reprinted nearly often enough, especially given its price tag. Hopefully, Wizards is changing their tune about this and will reprint these lands into the ground, but that does feel unlikely.
3 | Black Market Connections
Source: Doom Prevails | Price: $19
Thankfully, while it used to be exceptionally expensive, we’ve seen Black Market Connections a few times in recent years. As is always the hope, this has helped to bring prices down, although only from about $30. Potentially, this new printing and its Marvel-themed art could bring prices lower, but that remains to be seen.
Given that Black Market Connections is played in over 565,000 Commander decks, it’s sadly unlikely this lone reprint will cause a price crash. For better or worse, this card is just too good not to use a lot of the time, thanks to Commander’s higher life totals. While this reprint likely being ineffective isn’t the best news, the silver lining is that it’ll be a decent reprint to sell on.
2 | Quantum Misalignment
Source: Fantastic Four | Price: $19
Having only ever been printed in the Doctor Who Commander decks, this Quantum Misalignment reprint could work wonders. That being said, while this card isn’t a huge Commander staple, it is really good. Just creating a copy of any creature, not once but twice, is always fantastic and opens up plenty of combo shenanigans.
With this potential in mind, there’s a non-zero chance that the increased supply will also bring about increased demand. Whether or not this will actually happen remains to be seen, of course, but this reprint should retain some value. For now, it’s one of the most expensive cards from the Marvel Super Heroes Commander precons, clocking in at $19.
1 | Luxury Suite
Source: Doom Prevails | Price: $28
Much like Bountiful Promenade, Luxury Suite is another of the Bond Lands originally printed in Battlebond. Not only does this mean there are fewer copies around, but Rakdos desks are significantly more popular than Selesnya ones. Thanks to this, it’s little wonder that this card is currently selling for a staggering $28.
While Luxury Suite is easily the most expensive card in the entire Marvel Super Heroes Commander set, this reprint could affect that. Given how far it’s ahead, it’s unlikely to fall off the map entirely; however, it’s nonetheless great to see. Whether you keep it in Doom Prevails or not, there’s no denying that Luxury Suite is one hell of a reprint.
