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 Zendikar 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.

What is the most valuable card in Zendikar?

Scalding Tarn is currently the highest-priced card in this ranking at $36.29. 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.
