How the ranking works
Price is attached to the printing.
A Magic card can appear in many sets, finishes and frame treatments. This list uses the individual Fifth Edition printing and ranks the available non-foil USD price for that printing. It does not transfer the price of an older or rarer version onto this set.
A chase card is simply one of the cards collectors currently pursue most strongly in this release. Competitive play, Commander demand, rarity and premium art can all affect the order, and a future reprint can change it.
Set questions
About Fifth Edition chase cards.
What is the most valuable card in Fifth Edition?
Mana Vault is currently the highest-priced card in this ranking at $85.14. Prices can change after each market update.
Are foil prices included?
No. The order uses the regular USD market price so that a single premium finish does not distort the set-wide comparison.
How often can the top ten change?
Any market update can change the ranking. New deck results, Commander demand and reprints are common reasons for movement.
