Magic: The Gathering's newest set, Reality Fracture, offers a unique take on the multiverse with its "What If?" theme, reimagining famous spells and creatures through the lens of Jace Beleren's Echoverse. As prerelease weekend concludes and the full launch approaches, some of the set's most valuable cards have already emerged, featuring special Facet Foil and Showcase treatments.
Top Cards and Their Market Value
Among the early standouts is Rise of the Deathbringer, a five-cost instant that can draw cards at the cost of life or reduce creatures' power and toughness. This card is currently valued around $200, with some early sales exceeding twice that amount.
Craterclaw Colossus, an Echoverse counterpart to a well-known mono-green card, presents itself as a powerful mono-red alternative. This version offers haste and grants creatures trample, with its power scaling based on the number of artifacts controlled. The Facet Foil version is priced at approximately $210.
Codie, Ravenous Codex, a Showcase Fracture Foil variant, is attracting attention for its ability to copy prepared spells and prepare all creatures on the battlefield for a significant mana cost. This card is currently fetching $300.
Simulacrum Shaper, described as green's answer to a Solemn Simulacrum, enters the battlefield to fetch a basic land and provides card draw upon death, also offering synergy with Elf decks. The Facet Foil version is valued at $325, with one recorded sale at nearly $500.
Kwia Vigorbloom, a reworked Elder Sphinx from the Echoverse, is a 6/6 creature with flying, vigilance, lifelink, and ward 2. Its ability to generate Lotus tokens, which can be sacrificed for mana, when life is gained provides significant ramp potential. This card is trading around $350, with its showcase version selling for over $400.
Emrakul, the Exigent Doom, an Echoverse take on the Eldrazi favorite, boasts an impressive name and potent abilities. It untaps all lands upon entry and enters as a 12/12 with flying, trample, and a ward cost that involves sacrificing three permanents. This Showcase version in Fracture Foil is currently valued at $400. It can also be exiled from hand for early-game ramp.
Return to the Light Realms, a white reimagining of the black staple Rise of the Dark Realms, brings back all nonland permanents from the graveyard. Depending on the number of artifacts, equipment, and enchantments in play, this card could rival its predecessor's utility. The Facet Foil version is priced at $420.
Curse-Marred Demon, the Echoverse version of Rune-Scarred Demon, shifts from black to red and becomes a 4/4. It allows players to search their library for any card before discarding one at random. While costing two less mana than its original, this card has reached $500.
Hexhaven Invigorator, a four-cost green Chimera Horror, is a 6/6 with vigilance. Its unique ability allows players to convert damage dealt to it into lands, which do not need to be basic. The Facet Foil version is valued at $562, with one sale reaching $850.
Topping the list is Omnipresence, the Echoverse equivalent of Omniscience. This green card allows players to cast spells without paying their mana costs, provided the spell's mana value is less than or equal to the number of creatures controlled. The Facet Foil version is currently the most expensive, fetching a significant $1,000.
