The latest Magic: The Gathering set, Edge of Eternities, has finally arrived, but if you’re wondering which cards from the new set are worth keeping an eye out for, we’ve got you covered.
From spaceships to planets, this new sci-fi universe is a stark departure even in a year that’s included Aetherdrift, Tarkir, and Final Fantasy, and early impressions seem to be positive.
To clarify, these are the best-selling Edge of Eternities cards so far, thanks to data from TCGPlayer, and it’s changed a fair amount from our initial coverage during pre-release.
Here are the best-selling Magic: The Gathering cards of Edge of Eternities so far.
Breeding Pool
Magic: The Gathering Breeding Pool
0
Breeding Pool is the first of a whopping FIVE lands in the top ten, tapping for Green or Blue, but you’ll have to pay life if you don’t want it to enter tapped.
Watery Grave
Magic: The Gathering Watery Grave
1
The Dimir version of Breeding Pool, Watery Grave taps for blue or black but with the same caveat.
Godless Shrine
Magic: The Gathering Godless Shrine
7
More land? Yep! At number 8, it’s Godless Shrine which, as you can probably guess, taps for White and Black at the cost of land.
Uthros, Titanic Godcore
Magic: The Gathering Evendo, Waking Haven
3
The last land on here, we promise, Evendo, Waking Haven is analogous to Uthros (above), except it taps for green mana for each creature you control.
Exalted Sunborn
Magic: The Gathering Exalted Sunborn
0
Number five is Exalted Sunborn, a flying Angel Wizard with lifelink that gives you a touch of the Doubling Season effect of double tokens. It can also be Warped, meaning you can cast it for less, exile it at the end of the turn, and then summon it back later.
Cosmogrand Zenith
Magic: The Gathering Cosmogrand Zenith
2
Cosmogrand Zenith is fourth, and lets you create tokens or add counters when you cast a second spell each turn.
Tezzeret, Cruel Captain
Magic: The Gathering Tezzeret, Cruel Captain
1
Tezzeret, Cruel Captain is up next, and he’s the only Planeswalker on this list. He’s all about using artifacts to power him up before spreading that love to creatures or finding even more of them.
Quantum Riddler
Magic: The Gathering Quantum Riddler
1
No, not the Batman villain. Quantum Riddler is a space Sphinx that can draw you cards, and potentially draw you a lot of cards if you’re playing them quickly.
Icetill Explorer
Magic: The Gathering Icetill Explorer
1
Finally, Icetill Explorer is a super easy upgrade for the World Shaper precon since it allows for additional lands to be played, and from your graveyard. That second part is handy in case its Landfall effect mills your lands.
So, there you have it, the most popular cards of Edge of Eternities so far. Which ones are you considering for your deck? Let us know!
Where to Buy MTG Edge of Eternities Sealed Boosters
Play Boosters are now the standard way to crack open Magic packs, having replaced both Set and Draft Boosters. But if you’re on the hunt for rare cards, Collector Boosters are the best option.
These packs are more expensive, but are much more likely to include various foil treatments, extended arts, and all sorts. There are usually 5 Commons, 4 Uncommons, 5 Rare or Mythic Rare cards, a Land and a Token, but the rub here is that 6 of the included cards have a ‘booster Fun frame’ and 12-13 of them are foil.
Surprisingly, stock is already running low on Amazon for most Edge of Eternities boosters. That said, sites like TCGPlayer still have a solid supply, and in some cases, better prices too.
