The Crown Jewels of Innistrad Remastered
Edgar Markov (Retro Frame) - $16.28
The vampire lord makes four appearances in our top 10 (as of this writing), with this Edgar Markov (Retro Frame) leading the charge. These vintage-styled cards look fantastic in any collection (I've got some Brothers War retro frames myself!).
As the ultimate vampire tribal commander, this version offers the most affordable entry point from the new set.
The Meathook Massacre (Retro Frame) - $17.29
Appearing three times in our rankings, The Meathook Massacre (Retro Frame) brings terrifying battlefield control. This Legendary Enchantment serves as both a board wipe and a finisher, starting at $17 for this vintage-style printing.
Edgar Markov (Showcase) - $17.54
The vampire patriarch returns! This stunning Edgar Markov (Showcase) version features gorgeous gothic detailing that really makes the card pop. Unlike other versions, this one focuses solely on Markov himself, costing around $18.
The Meathook Massacre - $18.84
Here we see the standard version of The Meathook Massacre with contemporary frame styling. Though similar to previous entries, these modern finishes consistently command near-$19 price tags.
Avacyn, Angel of Hope (Retro Frame) - $19.09
Avacyn, Angel of Hope (Retro Frame) finally breaks the Markov/Meathook pattern with her impressive $20 price point. The card's ability to grant indestructibility matches perfectly with its nostalgic border treatment.
Emrakul, the Promised End (Showcase) - $20.58
This Emrakul, the Promised End (Showcase) features stunning cinematic artwork that gives the Eldrazi titan proper sci-fi horror treatment. Clocking in at $20+, it's a showstopper that lets you hijack opponents' turns.
Edgar Markov - $20.79
The plain version of Edgar Markov proves that classic frames still carry weight, edging past the $20 mark. Vampire enthusiasts will appreciate this traditional presentation of the iconic commander.
Avacyn, Angel of Hope (Showcase) - $21.95
The Avacyn, Angel of Hope (Showcase) art depicts our heavenly protector in the clutches of some unknown terror. At just over standard pricing, it's a worthy centerpiece for any Angel deck.
The Meathook Massacre (Showcase) - $22.57
The final Meathook Massacre variant (sounding like a horror franchise finale) presents surprisingly cartoonish artwork compared to its grim function, commanding about $23.
Edgar Markov (Showcase - Serial Numbered) - $2,264.91
Believe your eyes - that comma's in the right place! While the set's second-most valuable card sits below $25, this numbered Edgar Markov (Showcase - Serial Numbered) truly goes for over two grand.
As the designated 'Headliner' card receiving special artistic treatment, this ultra-rare serialized version offers identical gameplay to other Markovs - just with an astronomical price tag for collectors.
