The 100 Most Expensive "Bulk" Magic: The Gathering Cards Right Now - September 2025
By Peter Day •
If you judge Magic cards just by their rarity, you might miss out on the Uncommon and Common cards that are worth real money on the secondary market. To help you filter out the diamonds from the rough, we’ve put together a downloadable CSV report of the most expensive “bulk” Magic cards currently in Standard.
This report shows the 100 Uncommon, and Common-rarity Magic cards legal in Standard with the highest Market Price as of September 21, 2025. The report only considers Near Mint, standard-printing copies, meaning that foil, borderless, showcase, and extended-art cards were excluded.
Here are the top 10 cards from the report.
#1 Cid, Timeless Artificer (Multiple Versions)
Set: FINAL FANTASY
Market Price: $3.80 - $9.41
We’re cheating a bit here by condensing all 15 versions of Cid, Timeless Artificer into one item, instead of leaving them separated as they are in the full report.
Cid has the same “A deck can have any number of cards named…” clause that makes other cards like Hare Apparent and Slime Against Humanity so beloved, and valuable. The card incentivizes players to run as many copies of Cid as they can, so anyone who wants to build a Cid-centric deck needs dozens of Cids. This inflates the number of Cids that get sold, making all of them more valuable.
#2 Stock Up
Set: Aetherdrift
Market Price: $8.54
Stock Up set a new baseline for the amount of card advantage and selection players should expect from a blue three-mana sorcery when it released in Aetherdrift. It has quickly earned a reputation as a staple of competitive Standard, and even sees play in Pioneer, Modern, and Vintage.
Set: Duskmourn: House of Horror
Market Price: $2.48
Whether in competitive sideboards or as part of the 99 in Commander decks, Untimely Malfunction works (ironically) as a flexible tool that can fix nearly any situation a red mage might find themselves in.
#4 Into the Flood Maw
Set: Bloomburrow
Market Price: $4.48
One-mana removal that can hit any nonland permanent is well worth giving your opponent a tapped fish, so Into the Flood Maw sees play across many competitive formats, especially alongside Cori-Steel Cutter.
#5 Patchwork Banner
Set: Bloomburrow
Market Price: $4.48
Patchwork Banner became a staple of typal Commander decks the moment it was printed in Bloomburrow, and has yet to be reprinted outside of a promo included in certain Bloomburrow tins.
#6 Sheltered by Ghosts
Set: Duskmourn: House of Horror
Market Price: $4.09
Sheltered by Ghosts gives players access to the same effect as cards like Banishing Light for a one-mana discount. The only downside is that you need to keep a creature alive in addition to the Enchantment in order to maintain that banishment, but Sheltered by Ghosts more than makes up for this by giving the creature in question Ward 2, for a total package that does more than other cards for less mana.
#7 Bolt Bend
Set: Foundations
Market Price: $3.49
Bolt Bend is another undercosted instant-speed card that can completely swing games, though its restriction makes it better suited for Commander than for 60-card competitive formats. Both this version and the original version from War of the Spark cost over $3, so don’t let either of them slip you by.
Set: Duskmourn: House of Horror
Market Price: $2.55
Withering Torment stretches the color pie by giving black access to unconditional enchantment removal, making this card the go-to answer for enchantments in decks that can’t cast white or green spells.
#9 Spelunking
Set: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan
Market Price: $2.52
Spelunking is a fairly costed ramp spell that also draws a card, and offers insane combo potential with any cards that put lands into play tapped like Arboreal Grazer and Scapeshift. It currently sees competitive play in Modern and Pioneer, and will likely remain a Commander staple for landfall decks indefinitely.
#10 Hare Apparent
Set: Foundations
Market Price: $2.33
Like Cid, Timeless Artificer, Hare Apparent dares players to jam as many copies of this card into their deck as they can, which inflates the demand for this card over similarly popular cards that are limited to four or one copies per deck.
