Summary

• Lost Caverns of Ixalan set features unique valuable cards widely used in many formats.
• It's focus on kindred strategies made many cards incredibly playable.
• It's also a great set for Commander players.

The original Ixalan set from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering may not be known for its ca🌊rd prices, however, the Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a different story. This sequel set features some incredibly unique cards that are widely used in many formats.

Consequently, they're worth a pretty penny. The set is also home to some of the most famous kindred cards in Magic including Merfolk, Vampires, Humans, and the relatively new Dinosaurs. In other words, some of these cards were bound to carry value.

The prices of♍ these cards are based on t𝔍he Market value.

10 Tishana's Tidebinder

$6.75

Arguably one of Standard's most annoying creatures, Tishana's Tidebinder delivered hope for many Merfolk typal Modern advocates that unfortunately fell short. That being said, this card is more than powerful enough to have had a last impact on Standard.

Both Midrange and Control decks use this Merfolk to deny opponents access to their artifacts, planeswalkers, and enter the battlefield triggers from creatures. There was a time when enter the battlefield triggers on creatures weren't so abundant and this card wouldn't have been nearly as useful, but that time has long passed.

9 The S🦩kullspore Nexus

$7.49

This is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a favorite of Commander players thanks to its ability to churn out creature tokens multiple times a turn. Decks interested in sacrifice effects won't do much better than this Nexus, as it gives them twice the sacrifice ammunition for every nontoken creature they play.

Furthermore, both the Fungus and Dinosaur creature types are relevant to kindred decks. The one restrictive part of this card is its high mana cost, even though it can be heavily reduced by playing high-power creatures. Unfortunately, high-power creatures aren't something every sacrifice deck is capable of playing.

8 ♏ Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might ꦑ

$7.62

Yet another card relevant to Commander, this red God makes all of your noncombat damage sources deal at least four damage. However, it can make them deal even more damage if you have a way to increase Ojer's power.

While red has no shortage of cards that temporarily increase a creature's power, it's difficult to play these cards in a deck that wants to focus on noncombat damage. Nonetheless, Ojer's ability to ramp your mana after death and return to the battlefield later is yet another reason it's a great inclusion for noncombat damage decks.

7 Bo♛nehoard Dracosaur

$11.20

If Dragon Dinosaur isn't an exciting creature type combination, it's hard to think of something that is. It goes without saying that this is a Commander staple as both of these creature types are fan favorites. Additionally, this creature is a powerful engine that threatens to eventually end the game if not answered.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Card advantage is something that's always appreciated in red, and the Dracosaur draws you an additional two cards every turn while also providing additional creatures and mana. This card is so good that it's sure to see more play in Standard before it rotates, so keep an eye out for it there as well.

6 🌠 Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant ꧋

$12.30

Despite being the creature type on♕ly beginning to see love with the release of original Ixalan, Dinosaurs have quickly become one of the favorite creature types of Commander players. Consequently, it only makes sense that a massive tyrannosaurus rex card that lets you play all of your creatures a✅t once would be a popular deck inclusion.

Unfortunately, Ghalta leaves you very susceptible to wrath spells unless you have some way to give the creatures you just unloaded onto the board haste. Thankfully▨, cards like Crushing Drawbridge, Tuktuk Rubblefort, Anger, and Mass Hysteria accomplish this task with minimal effort.

5 ♊ Chimil, the Inner Sun

$16.51

If there's one thing Commander players really dislike, it's seeing their best spells get countered. This artifact prevents that from happening as long as it remains on the battlefield, while also providing you with some free value every turn.

While Chimil does have a chance to cast a card that might not have any legal targets, nine times out of ten this won't happen. Additionally, this is a powerful card, but not one so powerful that it will immediately grab the attention of all of your opponents. That in itself is a huge boon in Commander games.

4 🌠 Bloodletter of Aclazotz

$20.18

This is a killer card f🎉or any Commander deck interested in life loss or combos. Doubling life loss is a very easy way to turn cards like Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist, and Gray Merchant of Asp𝕴hodel into quick or even immediate game enders.

All of that beinꦏg said, Bloodletter is also just a good card in general since combat damage also counts as life loss. As a result, just about ♛any deck with life-loss effects wants to include this thirsty bat.

3 ♔ ♊ Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation

$23.73

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Token-generating decks are yet another popular strategy in Commander, and Ojer Taq delivers three times the value on every token you create. Six man🔥a is a lot of mana to ask for this effect, but there are tons of ways to gene𒉰rate an absurd board state even if this creature is immediately answered.

Cards like Doomed Traveler, Ministrant of Obligation, and The Necrobloom all offer ways to generate tokens as soon as Ojer Taq hits the battlefield especially alongside sacrifice outlets. Even in the case that Ojer Taq is removed, you can always bring it back later for half the mana cost assuming it isn't exiled.

2 𝔍 Roaming Throne

$29.15

We've already mentioned the popularity of kindred decks multiple times in this article and Roaming Throne is a creature that fits well in all of them. The ability to enter the battlefield as any creature type you choose is powerful on its own.

Furthermore, ward makes this Golem a pain to remove in most cases. If Roaming Throne isn't removed, you'll get double the value on every kindred trigger you unleash. In case it wasn't already clear, kindred decks are all about creature triggers, as this is the most common way that creature types work together. No wonder it's one of the most expensive cards in the set.

1 Cavern of Souls 🌸 😼

$33.21

Speaking of cards that fit into every typal deck, Cavern of Souls has long been a necessܫary manabase inclusion for typal. Blanking enemy counterspells on every creature you cast will make it extremely difficult for many control decks to interact with your game plan.

Part of the reason Cavern of Souls still commands a high price tag despite multiple reprintings is that it's also needed as a four of inclusion in competitive constructed kindred decks. While kindred decks have become less powerful in constructed over the past few years, players love trying to make them work.

Don't be surprised if this card's price jumps when a kindred deck returns to the top of the metagame in Modern or Legacy. It's probably only a matter of time.
