MTG Salvation

Quote from FrostyNuggets

I don't have any decks worth 3k..but I have roughly 1500 into the 3 different decks that I carry in my deck box. I don't like to let it get out of my sight. I went over to a friends' the other day and afterwards I went to Subway..had it locked in the truck in the center console and I still kept my eyes peeled. I know exactly where you're coming from.

That's exactly the same stuff I do. My deck box has 4 decks in it and is worth a grand total of around $8500. If that box ever leaves my house (which is rare) it is never out of my sight and is never not touching me. The cards are issured but still, what a pain it would be to replace all that.

I have a Cradle and some WB duals; I'm boring. A quick trip to a site that prices foils also tells me that Urborgs in foil are stupid expensive compared to when I got mine, which was when PLC was being opened, so it was probably worth a grand total of about $3 to the right buyer.

My most expensive is just a MMA SoFaI, lol.

edit: actually, maybe not. One of my zendikar fetchland may worth more, but I got them when they were cheap.

Damn. My most expensive deck is only $500. I feel like because it's g/w, it's not going to cost nearly as much as a tuned blue deck. I have a kiki-jiki, portal natural order, horizon canopy, sneak attack, 2x chord of calling (1 I got for $1 and the other $10). I have a foil Temple garden(rtr), pact of negation(mm), and some other stuff. I think my most expensive cards are the ones that recently exploded in price(the horizon canopy and chord of calling). The most expensive card I ever had in an edh deck was a foil snapcaster when he worth $100. I traded it for a lot of good stuff. I generally don't care about foils and fancy stuff, as I can sell them and get more cards. There isn't a lot of $100+ stuff that I really want, besides maybe imperial recruiter.

My Damia is still missing foil fetchlands but I tried to figure out what it would cost me to replace it if I lost it and I think it added up to around 6000$ USD. It will be around 7000$+ USD after I'm finished :/.

I sold most of my $$ cards, but I do still have a Grim Tutor which is probably #1.

Most expensive card I've got is a Beta Gauntlet of Might in Jaya, unless Cradle has passed the $150 mark. The deck is worth just shy of $900 all told.

Other notable stuff includes about a dozen Rev duals (missing Sea and Tundra, have duplicates of several of the others), a master set of the Zen fetches, about a dozen Ons fetches (just missing Mire), Mana Crypt, a bunch of Legends stuff, the aforementioned Cradle, and a fair amount of modern and legacy stuff. My collection is worth more than I like to admit.

I was happy to see my foil Reflecting Pool worth around $40 last time I looked it up.

Quote from CatParty

I have single copies of Angus Mackenzie, Hazezon Tamar, and Rasputin, Dreamweaver which i bought before their prices spiked, but I don't play any decks with them currently.

My Doran deck has copies of Yawgmoth's Will and Linvala, Keeper of Silence which are the two most expensive cards I'm currenlty playing with, but I didn't pay for either. Cracked Linvala and inherited Yawgmoth's.

My brother traded for linvala back when she was 5$ and Iona when she was 3$.

Double checking the price, apparently the most expensive card I have is the Judge Foil Demonic Tutor in Shirei.

Woooooooo moat ^.^ basically that card is what led me to make my Sigarda enchantress deck

My reanimator deck has Bazaar of baghdad

championship Niv-Mizzet, the firemind i guess. He's $150. I also have judge foil Wheel of fortune which is pretty expensive

I'm a big promo/old card collector so I would say the entire Judge promo collection and FNM Brainstorm/Swords to Plowshares.

Also have Bazaar of Baghdad, Candelabras of Tawno, signed Moat, foil Jace, the Mind Sculptor, signed Japanese foil Enchantress's Presence, Nether Void, beta Sol Ring, alpha Sinkhole, beta Demonic Tutor, and set of Unlimited Dual Lands round out my treasure trove.

Judge Cradle
Judge Mana Crypt
Judge Survival of the Fittest

Ya those three

Umm most expensive in EDH im guessing its Blue Hurricane , valued at 15k and Japanese foil JTMS, valued from 3.5k-4k.

Recent acquired a JtMS, so most expensive is him.

Before that tho I'd say it'd have to be Kozelik, Ulamog, C.Command, and various Swords of [stuff & other stuff].

Here's my list of cards over $30 from Deckbox.org. It doesn't price foils so I bet some others would be in this range

SDCC Black Planeswalkers
Unlim Underground Sea
Gaea's Cradle
Bayou
Savannah
Force of Will
Scrubland
Badlands
Taiga
Show and Tell
Scalding Tarn
Plateau
Island of Wak-Wak
Bloodstained Mire
All Hallow's Eve
Mox Opal
Why is this listed at $36? False Defeat
Sneak Attack
Foil MM Sword of Fire and Ice
Natural Order
Unlim Sinkhole

This is as expensive as a vintage deck. I don't understand why people make super expensive EDH decks then complain that vintage is unaffordable - I'm not talking about you.

As for the most expensive card, I would go with my Chinese Imperial Seal I often play in my The Mimeoplasm or Damia, Sage of Stone decks. This is also the most expensive EDH legal card and the 9th most expensive card overall. Then follows
Mishra's Workshop,
Timetwister,
The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale,
Bazaar of Baghdad,
Candelabra of Tawnos, (This is awesome in 2HG)
Grim Tutor,
Ravages of War,
Capture of Jingzhou,
Underground Sea
according to StarcityGames Near Mint Price.

There is also Time Vault and Library of Alexandria that could fit in the list if they were not banned.

Off the top of my head, Jace, the Mind Sculptor is up there. So is MPR Wasteland and Judge Promo Survival of the Fittest. Teneb has to be my most expensive deck.

Hua Tuo, Honored Physician Probably - 70$
Recently got a City of Brass from Arabian Nights and a Guardian Beast.
I traded away my The Abyss sadly

I'm 4 cards away from foiling out my Kaalia deck. It has 7 cards that don't exist in foil form, so I'm at 89 of 93 foiled. If I were to go by SCG prices, it's worth about $3,300.

Highlights include (ALL foils): 8 judge foils (Vindicate, Karmic Guide, Demonic Tutor, Sol Ring, Maze of Ith, Bloodstained Mire, Command Tower, and Vampiric Tutor), some costly land foils (Arid Mesa, Marsh Flats, the original Sacred Foundry and Godless Shrine, Kor Haven and Reflecting Pool), and the 5 basics are Unhinged. Other money cards include Baneslayer, Rakdos, Gisela, Avacyn, Iona, Angel of Despair, Elesh Norn, and the big non-creatures would be Wrath of God and Phyrexian Arena.

Among the cards that can't be foiled are my Moat, Volrath's Stronghold, and Plateau, Badlands, and Scrubland.

The last 4 cards I need will run me another $90. The cheapest card in the deck is a foil Footbottom Feast, at about 50 cents.

I'm only 18 cards away from foiling out my Ezuri deck, out of a possible 97 cards that can be foiled. The highlight there is my judge Gaea's Cradle, but it also has judge Survival of the Fittest and Natural Order, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, Priest of Titania, Mutavault, and Yavimaya Hollow as other notables. By the time that's done it will probably run $1800 or so, but I could probably tack on about $500 if I upgrade my foil basics, currently just 11 copies of the same AVR land I like to Unhinged Forests. Havent decided if I'll do that yet. Nearly all the cards for both decks I picked up since last December. I hope to be done with both by this December.

My playgroup and I recently had discussions to see what was the most expensive deck they could make. It had to be playable by the rules of EDH, but it didn't mean in had to be playable GOOD. Basically, what were the 100 priciest cards we could shove together. I was able to come to a shade under $6000. It of course had to be five colors to take advantage of the mana base that would offer, so for me it would be a Sliver Queen deck.

My priciest stuff would be:
Moat (will be included in a deck I'm currently building)
Jace the Mind Sculptor
Gaea's Cradle
4x of each of the original duals. Most are revised, but a couple of them (one each of Bayou, Taiga, Tropical Island and Underground Sea) are unlimited.
Sneak Attack (not currently in a deck)
Hazezon Tamar (not currently in a deck)
Rasputin Dreamweaver (not currently in a deck)
Scalding Tarn
Foil Snapcaster Mage
Force of Will (x4) - Currently running only one in a deck
Judge foil Sword of Fire and Ice

I also have a bunch of stuff that falls in the $20-40 range.

my most expensive are serra's sanctum, kiki jiki, and for a while, baneslayer (when it was worth like $50)

I have a NM- Beta Volcanic Island in my Melek deck. clocks in at right around $1,600.00.

I think if you really went all out on a deck like that it would be much more than $6k. By going all out I mean all ABUR duals in black boarder as well as a BB Timetwister. Just the duals alone in BB is going to drive the price of the deck skyhigh.
