Tarkir: Dragonstorm was Magic: The Gathering’s third set of 2025, and its focus on big ol’ dragons and Tarkir’s clans was a winning combo that stands as the best in-universe set for a while.
Not only was it the perfect tonic to the silliness of Aetherdrift, it also offered plenty of valuable cards from dragons, to behemoths, to much, much more.
Using data from the fine folks at TCGPlayer, we’ve put together a list of the most valuable cards in the set, judging by their market price at the time of writing. Have you packed any of these? They might be worth more than you think!
The most valuable Tarkir Dragonstorm cards
Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $55.90
Almost every entry on this list has the slick Halo Foil treatment, and kicking us off is Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant.
‘Mr Dragon’ himself is a low-cost card that builds up when you’re bringing in dragon-type creatures.
Elspeth, Storm Slayer (Showcase) – $66.97
Spoiler alert, we’ll be seeing Elspeth, Storm Slayer again on this list, but this showcase version of the Planeswalker is around $70 right now.
Elspeth lets you create tokens and buff creature tokens, while also being able to destroy a big threat on the board.
Ugin, Eye of the Storms (Showcase) – $76.69
I own a non-Showcase version of Ugin, Eye of the Storms, and it’s a ridiculously fun Planeswalker for colorless decks owing to its ability to add three colorless mana at no cost.
Add to that some nice lifegain and the option to cheat out nonland permanents and you’ve got a fun card to build around. We’ll see Ugin again soon…
All-Out Assault (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $88.73
The kind of card that, as the name suggests, could cause a huge swing towards victory, All-Out Assault gives counters and deathtouch, and can give you a second combat phase.
The Halo Foil version can reach $90 and above in good condition, so keep an eye out if you’re still opening packs.
Narset, Jeskai Waymaster (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $90.25
Allowing you to refresh your hand at the end of your turn if you’ve cast plenty of spells, Narset, Jeskai Waymaster is ideal for any deck packed with low-mana cards.
This Halo Foil version has a market value of $90, but we’ve seen near-mint versions listed for $100.
Clarion Conqueror (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $120.06
A card that stops your opponent from using activated abilities, attached to a 3/3 flying body that costs just three mana? Yeah, we like Clarion Conqueror.
This Halo Foil can reach as high as $140, but the market price is around $120.
Dracogenesis (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $150.74
The kind of enchantment that can spell doom for opponents, Dracogenesis lets you play Dragon spells without paying a mana cost.
This Halo Foil is up to $150, but there are listings pushing it for closer to $320.
Craterhoof Behemoth (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $157.18
Another potential match-ender, Craterhoof Behemoth, costs plenty of mana but can kick your creatures into high gear for that big final push.
This Showcase Halo version can be found for almost $200, but the market value sits at around $160.
Elspeth Storm Slayer (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $423.22
We told you she’d be back! Elspeth, Storm Slayer’s Halo Foil variant is going for a whopping $400 right now, but that’s actually slightly below market value.
Snap it up if you’re keen!
Ugin, Eye of the Storms (Showcase – Halo Foil) – $443.99
Finally, this Ugin, Eye of the Storms looks incredible with its Halo Foil treatment, and turns an already powerful card into a thing of beauty.
It won’t come cheap, though. While market value is just shy of $450, you can expect to pay close to $500.
