Here's the 10 Most Valuable Aetherdrift Cards to Chase During Amazon's Magic: The Gathering Sale

18 juin 2025 à 03:00

Amazon is having a pretty big sale on Magic: The Gathering sealed sets right now, and you can pick up a wide variety of Aetherdrift packs, collector bundles, and Commander decks at great new low prices, and these contain some awesome rare and expensive cards worth the chase.

After covering the big sale, I decided to go a bit further with my coverage and collect 10 of the most valuable cards available in play boosters and collector boosters, so you can track the best and most expensive chase cards from the set while ripping open your new boosters.

TL;DR: 10 Most Valuable Chase Cards From Aetherdrift

Aetherdrift has dozens of borderless, Fracture Foil, First-Place Foil, and Showcase editions of main set cards, but these are the 10 most valuable.

From a competitive standpoint, not many of these see much play, although Ketramose, the New Dawn is the face of a hot new Modern combo deck.

And for you Commander players, this is a great chance to nab the elusive Radiant Lotus Fracture Foil or the Aetherspark First-Place Foil.

10. Brightglass Gearhulk (Borderless First-Place Foil)

The original Kaladesh mono-colored Gearhulks were Standard powerhouses, and these new two-color bad boys are powerful in their own right. Brightglass Gearhulk is the best of the five, and is currently sitting at a market value of $57.05. Find it as low as $42.

9. March of the World Ooze (Showcase Fracture Foil)

This is a pretty neat, if a bit high-cost, anti-control card that can turn your little mana dorks or tokens into beefy 6/6 creatures. Market value is $63.09, but can be picked up for as low as $14.79.

8. Mimeoplasm, Revered One (Showcase Fracture Foil)

I love this as a fun graveyard strategy in Commander, and of course that art is something to behold. It's market value is $67.91, but can be found as low as $23.60.

7. Mu Yanling, Pathfinder (Showcase Fracture Foil)

Another one with gorgeous art, I wouldn't be surprised to see this slotted into a blue artifact-focused Commander deck like Urza, High Lord Artificer. It's currently at a market value of $70.57 and available as low as $26.96.

6. Cursecloth Wrappings (Showcase Fracture Foil)

This is right at home in any Zombie deck. Personally, it's going into my Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver Commander deck. It also has some of the coolest art of any of these cards. Grab it for $83.73 market, or as low as $36.99.

5. The Aetherspark (First-Place Foil)

The Aetherspark is one of the most mechanically-unique cards I've ever seen. It's both an Equipment and Planeswalker, with some powerful Loyalty abilites to boot. It's currently sitting at a market value of $96.92, but you can grab one for as low as $80.

4. Ketramose, the New Dawn (Borderless First-Place Foil)

The First-Place Foil is awesome (better than its regular printing art, in my opinion), and this is one of the most played chase cards from the set. It's currently at $98.54 market value, but can go as low as $75.

3. Chandra, Spark Hunter (Showcase Fracture Foil)

This version of iconic Planewalker Chandra Nalaar has great synergy with Vehicles and other artifacts, and is currently sitting at a market value of $136.60. However, you can find it for as low as $31.

2. Loot, the Pathfinder (Showcase Fracture Foil)

Loot is undeniably adorable, but you'd be hard-pressed to see this showing in many decks due to its mana cost and slow set up. Still, you can grab it for $209.63 market or as low as $58.87.

1. Radiant Lotus (Showcase Fracture Foil)

This might be one of the prettiest Magic cards I've ever seen. It's currently sitting at a staggering $275.86 market price, but some vendors have it for as low as $99 if buying singles is more your bag than gambling on cracking packs.

Which Aetherdrift Sealed Products Should I Get?

If you're looking to chase these valuable cards by cracking packs, I'd recommend picking up an Aetherdrift collector booster box. It's currently 42% off at Amazon, setting you back $174.99.

We've featured it as part of the best early Prime Day deals, since we're unlikely to get better deals on Magic cards between now and Prime Day on July 8-11.

For more on Magic: The Gathering, considering checking out our coverage on the new Final Fantasy x MTG collection, including the best chase cards from the Through the Ages line, alongside the most valuable cards in general across the whole release.

Moreover, for the keen collectors out there with maybe a little too much money, we've also recently covered the ins and outs of finding Final Fantasy x Secret Lair cards after they sold out when buying directly through Wizards of the Coast. It's set to be one of the biggest Secret Lair releases of the year, and fairly hard to come by without resorting to the secondary market.

More Magic: The Gathering Deals

Aetherdrift isn't the only expansion getting discounts. Seemingly random products across older expansions, including pre-release kits and play booster boxes, have also gotten price drops on Amazon.

Keep in mind that older expansions may not be legal in current Standard play, so it's worth doing some research based on whether you're buying cards for a personal collection or competitive play.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Vinyl Soundtrack Drops to Its Lowest Price Ever

17 juin 2025 à 22:18

The official Super Mario Bros. Movie original sountrack vinyl record is on sale at Amazon for $41.10 (24% off). The 2023 animated film based on the iconic video game series had its share of issues, but its music was definitely not one of them. Beautifully scored by Brian Tyler with the nostalgic tunes you'd expect from Koji Kondo, this is a great addition to any vinyl collector's ever-growing backlog.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Original Soundtrack Vinyl Deal

The Super Mario Bros. Movie's original soundtrack is filled top to bottom with bangers and nostalgic hits. The Super Mario Bros. Rap captures the same silliness we've come to know from Grant Kirkhopes DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64, and the rearrangements of classics like the creepy and dark version of the Warp Pipe or the whimsical, slow rendition of main Super Mario Bros. theme in Strange New World is, quite literally, music to my ears.

The songs come on a pair of red and green vinyl records in a nice slipcover case featuring the official movie art. You can open the cover for an extended art of Bowser in his iconic Peaches scene, playing the piano to a backdrop of a beautiful night sky. The art on the back shows Mario, Luigi, and their plumbing van with a Brooklyn backdrop.

See popular vinyl soundtracks from the IGN Store

In IGN's review of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, reviewer Tom Jorgensen gave it an eight and said that it's "a fireball of animated fantasy, overcoming a Paper Mario-thin plot with undeniable charm and energy."

The sequel to the Super Mario Bros. movie, now titled Super Mario World according to leaks, currently has a release date of April 3, 2026. If you stuck around for the first film's post-credits scene, and with the title of the second, you can easily assume a certain green dinosaur will play a major role.

I've Found The 16 Most Valuable Final Fantasy: Through the Ages MTG Cards Right Now

17 juin 2025 à 20:00

The Final Fantasy: Through the Ages collection reimagines classic Magic: The Gathering cards with iconic art and characters from all 16 mainline Final Fantasy games. Packed into Magic's newly released Universes Beyond: Final Fantasy set, these reprints aren't just nostalgic; they're in high demand for collectors, with several fetching serious prices on the secondary market.

TL;DR: 16 Most Valuable Final Fantasy: Through The Ages MTG Cards

Beyond just looking incredible, many of these cards are proven staples in multiple formats like Commander. That combination of competitive relevance and collector appeal has already driven prices up, with several cards becoming some of the most sought-after in the entire set.

Whether you're opening boosters or tracking down singles, these are the 16 most valuable cards from the Through the Ages collection right now. They're powerful, flashy, and, for longtime fans of both games, pretty irresistible right now. Let's take a look.

16. Clive Rosfield (Vial Smasher the Fierce)

Sitting at around $10.20 market, you can get this Commander staple for as low as $9.60, but this shoots up to $49.89 for the foil print. I was hoping for a larger red creature to represent Clive, but Vial Smasher fits his fiery personality well.

15. The Emperor, Hell Tyrant (Yawgmoth, Thran Physician)

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is a Modern staple (there's a whole deck named after him), so the Emperor art would be a nice addition to die-hard fans of the deck. You can pick this up for around $14.54 market, or as low as $11.99 on TCGPlayer right now.

14. Kefka's Tower (Bolas's Citadel)

I thought for sure Kefka's Tower would be printed onto Command Tower, but it looks like Wizards of the Coast wanted to avoid Commander-only cards, which is welcome. Get this at market value for $15.55 or as low as $13.69.

13. Cecil Harvey (Tymna the Weaver)

A personal favorite (seriously, I adore Final Fantasy IV), Tymna, the Weaver's design is another card that fits the flavor of the character well. Find it at market around $16.18.

12. Lightning, Lone Commando (Isshin, Two Heavens as One)

One of the best Mardu Commanders around, Isshin definitely fits Lightning's vibe in terms of combat mechanics. You can pick this up at market price for $21.93 but not much lower at the time of writing, as Lightning's value seems to be slowly spiking as well.

11. Blessing of the Oracle (Akroma's Will)

If you're playing white in Commander, odds are you're running Akroma's Will. The art with Noctis and Lunafreya is one of my personal favorites. It's recently had a massive spike in price, and you can currently find it at market value for around $23.99.

10. Kefka Palazzo (Purphoros, God of the Forge)

Purphoros, God of the Forge is great in Commander if you're running a tokens or blink strategy, and the Yoshitaka Amano Kefka art is a nostalgic masterpiece. Market is around $25, and that seems to be the price you're looking at right now as well.

9. Tidus, Zanarkand Fayth (Thrasios, Triton Hero)

You'd be hard-pressed to see Thrasios played anywhere other than low-powered Merfolk Commander decks, but the Final Fantasy X cover art is the big selling point here. Get it at market for $21.26 but not much lower.

8. Cloud Strife (Najeela, the Blade-Blossom)

Najeela, the Blade-Blossom fits Cloud well, and the Tetsuya Nomura art alone is enough for me to pick one up. Market value is $25, and seems fairly stable right now as well, albeit the foil version fetches 10x that, with listings up to $250 at TCGPlayer right now.

7. The Cloudsea Djinn (Nyxbloom Ancient)

I'd call this a fringe Commander staple, as big mana green decks love this massive enchantment creature for some extra ramp, and the Cloudsea Djinn art from the original Final Fantasy is icing on the cake. Find it at market for $24.66 or down to around $23 from select vendors.

6. Zidane Tribal (Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer)

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer might be one of the most annoying one-drops ever printed, but I can't argue against this sweet Zidane alternate art, especially as a huge fan of Final Fantasy IX. Market price is $27.70 and other vendors don't have it for much lower. The foil version is also going for around $82.99 right now as well.

5. Terra Branford (Urza, High Lord Artificer)

This card is another example of a fan-favorite character glued onto a multi-format powerhouse. It's at $26.62 market value, with that being fairly stable right now as well.

4. Knights of San d'Oria (Ranger-Captain of Eos)

Ranger-Captain of Eos sees enough Modern and Legacy play to warrant picking this one up. It's at $29.50 market and not much lower elsewhere.

3. Sephiroth, the Savior (Atraxa, Grand Unifier)

This one I'm surprised at as well, but because of how low it is. Mix Atraxa, Grand Unifier, a multi-format all-star, with one of the most iconic video game villains of all time, and you have potential for a serious price tag. Luckily it's at a $42.78 market price, which could be worse. Find one for as low as $39.98.

2. Dragon of Mount Gulg (Ancient Copper Dragon)

From a Commander or competitive standpoint, I can't quite figure out why this is as expensive as it is, it's sitting at $72.19 market. But nostalgia is a hell of a drug, so you can grab one for as low as $69.74, break out the big guns as the foil version is up to $254.70 at the time of publication.

Bonus: Honorable Mentions

Before we jump into the most valuable card, consider these honorable mentions when picking up any singles right now as well.

Final Fantasy: Through the Ages features dozens of other cards, and the above list are some other multi-format staples like Fatal Push and Dovin's Veto with awesome new art that won't break the bank for a playset.

1. Stay With Me (Rhystic Study)

Rhystic Study has been a Commander staple since the format's inception. The Final Fantasy X version is sitting at a market price of $103.12, but you can pick one up for as high as $125.98, or as low as $100.

Where Can I Buy Final Fantasy: Through the Ages?

Through the Ages cards can be found non-foil in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters, with foil versions of the cards only available in Collector Boosters. But, the best avenue to get the cards you want, without spending an absolute fortune, is by purchasing singles, so hopefully this was a handy guide for you.

Whether you're here for FF6’s Terra, FF7’s Cloud, FF10’s Tidus, or FF14’s Warrior of Light, these sets are stacked with heroes and villains from across the series. And that’s just the Commander Decks, the full release runs deep. If you managed to lock in a preorder before they vanished, congrats. Otherwise, check in with the links just above to bookmark or wishlist your favorite set in anticipation of any restocks soon.

Or perhaps, Collectors with more money than sense might be even more drawn to the Final Fantasy x Secret Lair drops. Wizards of the Coast has had a packed year of limited-time releases, and all three Final Fantasy Secret Lair sets sold out in record time, leaving plenty of fans empty-handed. That said, they’re still available through third-party sellers... if you’re willing to pay the markup.

There are three drops in total: Weapons, Grimoire, and Game Over. Each one offers Magic: The Gathering cards with exclusive Final Fantasy art and themed names. All were released in both standard and foil editions, with Japanese-language variants adding an extra layer of rarity for collectors.

Since these drops are no longer available directly from Wizards of the Coast, don’t expect to find them at their original prices. Standard nonfoil sets launched at $30, and rainbow foil versions at $40, but most listings now sit between $80 and $150 or more.

It’s a steep jump, so if you’re looking to grab one now, make sure you know exactly what you’re paying for. You can find them on eBay, but we’ve always found TCGPlayer, while also eBay-owned, to be the more secure and trustworthy option for picking up Secret Lair drops after release.
