Marvel’s Spider-Man set for Magic: The Gathering has finally swung into stores (after its recent prerelease), and the unique combination of comic book icons and fun new play designs is making it pretty popular so far.
So popular, in fact, that one rare card has already sold for $10,000 (and is even now getting listings for over $30,000) while others are also making a strong case for collectors themselves, tallying in the hundreds for market value.
If you’re looking to hunt any of these rare cards down, your best bet is picking up a Collector Booster set from Amazon right now, but be prepared to pay around $480 for just 12 packs.
Otherwise, buying cards standalone is perfectly legit as well, especially for some of the less pricey picks from the latest Universes Beyond set. For now, these are the most expensive Spidey cards to look out for when cracking packs, courtesy of data from our friends at TCGPlayer.
10. Cosmic Spider-Man (Extended Art)
Keyword soup on a five-color card? We may not have got Commander decks for Marvel’s Spider-Man, but Comic Spider-Man makes a great argument to helm one.
He powers up every Spider you have, giving them the same keywords, and that applies to Spider heroes, too. So, if you want to build a Spider-Verse deck, this is the way to go.
9. Norman Osborn/ Green Goblin (Borderless)
Norman’s standard card is fairly good value as well at $12.95, but if you want the full borderless art, it’s not much more to pay standalone. Featuring some of the MTG x Spidey sets coolest art, I can see why Green Goblin is attracting some attention.
8. Gwenom, Remorseless (Extended Art)
Kicking off the list with a banger, Gwenom, Remorseless is a Venomized version of Gwen. It’s 4/4 with Deathtouch and lifelink, which lets you spend life to play extra cards from the top of your library.
It’s a neat idea, and one I’m curious to see players build around. The card was around $37 last month, but is now sitting at more steady $16-$20.
7. Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer (Extended Art)
An awesome card is a 5/5 that brings back a card from your graveyard, Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer can also power up as it takes damage.
You could, in theory, end up using him as a game-ending play if it takes enough damage from other players, or you could use him in a deck that’ll have your own creatures damage him to make him a juggernaut.
6. Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider (Borderless)
Sticking with Gwen, but a much less spooky version, this borderless card shows our heroine relaxing before flipping into action against Electro.
Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider (Borderless) is around $40 for the nonfoil and double that for the foil. Her 209 variant card is also one of the best sellers right now, and can be picked up for about $25.
5. Miles Morales/Ultimate Spider-Man (Borderless)
This version of Miles Morales is currently fetching close to $65, which is pretty spenny, but much less than it was demanding closer to release when it was sitting at $150 or more. Miles powers up others and then transforms into a camouflaging web-slinger with first strike and haste.
If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, he’s got another transforming Miles Morales card that was sitting at around $40 during release week, but you can expect to pay just over $14 for him these days, and that’s a bargain.
4. Peter Parker/Amazing Spider-Man (Borderless)
He had to show up eventually, right? This card looks like the iconic moment Peter Parker gets bit by a spider on one side, and his first appearance alongside Marvel’s Fantastic Four on the other.
It’s currently sitting at around $100, a significant drop from its recent highs of $200.
3. Eddie Brock/Venom, Lethal Protector (Borderless)
This Eddie Brock/Venom, Lethal Protector card is another one with a comic-book cover on the flipside, and the iconic antihero is fetching a mean price at $200.
As for gameplay, Venom lets you sacrifice cards to draw and play other spells, potentially shifting your board state pretty quickly.
2. Spectacular Spider-Man (Various)
The Spectacular Spider-Man cards from this set were bound to be popular, both because the card is great and its artwork is awesome, but if you have a textured foil one, you might be in for a windfall.
There are five to get, starting at around $850 for the Future Foundation Suit and the Spider Armor MK 1 Suit, while The Black Suit variant can fetch around $950.
The Six-Armed Spider-Man suit is worth just over $1000, while the awesome Bombastic Bag-Man Suit card is already up to $1,250.
1. The Soul Stone (Various)
The Soul Stone is not only a piece of Marvel history – its card is exciting in its own right.
To play it, you’ll exile a card in order to trigger its ‘Harness’ ability, which essentially brings a creature card back from your Graveyard every turn. It’s going for around $100.
This powerful card is up for big money in its borderless format, but the Soul Stone’s Cosmic Foil variant is even harder to find.
As I mentioned, one has reportedly already sold for $10,000-$15,000. Right now, it’s listed at $40,000, with a market value of $32,000. Wow.
Yes, there’s also a less flashy version of The Soul Stone, to consider as well, but this Thanos artwork looks amazing… if you’re lucky enough to pull it, or have a spare $2000 to blow.
The Borderless version of the card is currently going for around $1,500 on TCGPlayer, but the site lists its market value as closer to $1,700.
Otherwise, the cheapest way to pick this card up is via its standard variant, which still goes for around $100 right now as well. Not exactly cheap, but miles better than $40k.
