Magic: The Gathering is about to kick off its 2026 roadmap with Lorwyn Eclipsed, but 2025 will certainly go down in the history books. While some sets were certainly weaker than others (yes, we’re looking at you, Spider-Man), others soared to new heights, like Universes Beyond: Final Fantasy, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and Edge of Eternities.
Still, which cards are the ones to emerge from 2025 with the highest price? From high-value reprints to serial-numbered cards and the game’s first Infinity Stone, it’s been a wild year for collectors.
Here are 2025’s most valuable Magic: The Gathering cards, as calculated by TCGPlayer’s pricing guides.
Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER (Borderless Surge Foil) - $501.50
Kicking off with one of gaming’s most iconic baddies, Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER is the most valuable Borderless Surge Foil card on this list.
His artwork looks amazing, but he also transforms into his One-Winged Angel version and gains access to Super Nova and plenty of card draw opportunities.
Sephiroth will currently set you back around $500 for a mint copy, but it’s selling for more.
Spectacular Spider-Man (Borderless Textured Foil) - Up to $571
The Spectacular Spider-Man series of cards ranges from the classic Spidey suit to Future Foundation, eight-armed Spidey, and even the paper bag-clad version in Fantastic Four pyjamas.
Depending on the version you get, you could be sitting on $374, or a whopping $571, with the Symbiote Suit version taking top prize.
Interestingly, only the 0241 (Future Foundation) card isn’t available at all on TCGPlayer.
Sothera, the Supervoid (Singularity Foil) - $1,480
The lone appearance of Edge of Eternities in this list, the Sothera card in its Singularity foil will set you back almost $1,500.
As for what it does, that’s hard to tell because it literally doesn’t tell you. Thankfully, other printings make it clear that it’s a Legendary Enchantment that exiles opponents’ creatures and brings them back under your control, with additional counters on them.
Mox Jasper (Serial Numbered) - $1,500
The top-earner from Tarkir: Dragonstorm (a great set, by the way), Mox Jasper’s serialized version is numbered up to 500, pushing the value up to around $1,500.
For that, you're getting literal free mana since the card has no mana cost but taps for mana, so long as you control a dragon.
I’d love one for my Commander deck, but not at this price, sadly.
The Aetherspark (Serial Numbered) - $1,650
Aetherdrift might not live long in the memory for many, but The Aetherspark is a very, very cool card - especially if you have one of the 500 serialized versions.
A Planeswalker that attaches to a creature and can be used for card draw or as a huge mana rock, it’s still going for over $1,650. Great artwork, too.
Edgar Markov (Showcase, Serial Numbered, Double Rainbow Foil) - $2,400
Only one Avatar card beats out Toph’s Neon Ink Foil card, and it’s… Avatar Aang, of course. This Raised Foil version of the card is close to $3,000 in value.
It’s a four-cost card with flying and firebending, and bending draws a card. Trigger firebending, earthbending, airbending and waterbending in a single turn, and he turns into Aang, Master of Elements.
This lowers the cost of spells, gains you life, and deals damage. Oh, and he’s a 6/6 flyer.
Travelling Chocobos ($1,967 to $6,576)
Still top of the pile for Final Fantasy, the Travelling Chocobos vary wildly in price, but you wouldn’t be unhappy if you packed any of them.
The Pink and Yellow ones in the Neon Ink go for just under $2,000, while the Green one goes for over $2,200 and the Blue one goes for almost $2,400.
The top one, however, is the Japan-exclusive Black Chocobo, which costs over $6,500.
