Top Selling Magic: The Gathering Cards on TCGplayer: April 2025
By Peter Day •
The first step to serving customer demand is to understand it. So to help you follow what’s currently popular with players and collectors, we’ve put together a pair of downloadable CSV reports of the top-selling Magic: The Gathering cards of the past month.
These reports show the name and set of the Magic cards with the highest total number of copies sold on the TCGplayer Marketplace between April 1 and April 30, 2025. The reports consider cards from different sets to be distinct (even if they have the same name), but do not distinguish copies sold by condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.) or by printing (Foil, etc.).
The two reports cover cards that had an average sale price in April within two ranges: $50.00 or more, and $1.00 to $49.99.
Here are five highlights from each report.
Top Selling Magic Cards: $50 or More
#1 Ugin, Eye of the Storms
Set: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $50.55
A Swiss Army knife of a card that three-for-one’s your opponent the turn you play it, Ugin, Eye of the Storms debuted as the most expensive non-serialized card in Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and the best payoff we’ve ever seen for going colorless. It has immediately earned a place in every Tron deck in Modern and every colorless or artifact-heavy deck in Commander.
While its price has since dropped below the $50 threshold, this card’s power was so obvious that players were willing to pay that much and more to secure their copies during release weekend on April 11-13.
#2 Ugin, Eye of the Storms (Borderless)
Set: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $62.51
Have we mentioned that this is a good card?
#3 Ugin, Eye of the Storms (Showcase)
Set: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $113.93
It’s a good card.
#4 The One Ring (Borderless) (LTR Bundle)
Set: Unique and Miscellaneous Promos
Average Sale Price: $56.79
The price of The One Ring dropped like Gollum falling into Mount Doom in December when Wizards of the Coast announced that they were banning the card in Modern (alongside a long list of other changes across four formats). It has bounced back since then, as its inclusion in the beta version of WotC’s Commander Brackets system has elevated its profile even further among Commander players, and given a reason to imagine that WotC won’t ban it there despite its power.
#5 Elspeth, Storm Slayer (Showcase)
Set: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $77.19
One crazy-powerful planeswalker in Tarkir: Dragonstorm wasn’t enough. Elspeth does everything a white token deck would ever want to do, and given how popular those decks are in Commander, we can can expect every version of Elspeth to remain valuable for a long time—bu especially this Showcase version.
Top Selling Magic Cards: $1.00 to $49.99
#1 Cori-Steel Cutter
Set: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $11.07
Aggro decks wanted to cast multiple spells per turn before Cori-Steel Cutter arrived in Tarkir: Dragonstorm and gave them a ridiculous payoff for doing so. With its ability to generate an unlimited number of explosive threats, this card is transforming how aggro plays in every competitive format.
#2 Braids, Cabal Minion
Set: Modern Horizons 2
Average Sale Price: $1.22
On April 22, Wizards of the Coast announced that five long-banned cards in Commander would be legal again in the format, effective immediately. Braids in particular has been banned (at least as a commander) since 2009, so both the fans who remember building around her and the ones who never got a chance have rushed to build around her or add her to their 99.
#3 Herd Heirloom
Set: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $2.68
The two best things anyone can do in Commander are ramp mana and draw cards. Herd Heirloom does both, making it an instant staple in Magic’s most popular format.
#4 Voice of Victory
Set: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $10.48
Another multi-format all-start from Tarkir: Dragonstorm, Voice of Victory has already found homes in Standard, Pioneer, and Modern decks. If it doesn’t see as much play in Commander, that’ll only be because its ability to shut down opponents’ spells feels too mean.
#3 Sol Ring
Set: Commander: Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Average Sale Price: $1.06
Sol Ring always ranks among the bestselling cards in Magic, thanks to being a symbol of the game’s most popular format, but those sales are usually spread out among its many (many) reprints. This version of Sol Ring had one of the lowest Market Prices in April, which helped it show up in more players’ carts when they used Cart Optimizer.
