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)
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)
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)
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)
Mu Yanling, Rider (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)
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 (First-Place Foil)
0
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)
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)
Chandra, Spark Hunter (Showcase Fracture Foil)
0
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, the Pathfinder (Showcase Fracture Foil)
0
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)
Radiant Lotus (Showcase Fracture Foil)
1
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.
