The first Standard-legal Magic: The Gathering set of the 2023-2024 season, Wilds of Eldraine, launched with a handful of chase cards in the main set while collectors attempt to scoop up on Enchanting Tales in collector booster packs.
Wizards of the Coast returned to the MTG plane of Eldraine through the Wilds of Eldraine (WOE) Standard-legal set that soft-launched on Sept. 1 through prerelease events at local game stores. The main set features Showcase, extended, and borderless treatments—with only a handful of cards cresting above the $10 mark.
Despite the low card prices of cards from the main set on the secondary market at launch, WOE contains solid cards that should impact multiple MTG formats. Multiple cards increased in price following the 2023 Magic World Championship, which featured the Standard Constructed format.
All card prices are based on averages from third-party sites like MTGGoldfish, TCGPlayer, and MTGStocks. Prices of WOE cards are subject to change on a daily basis. Updates will take place if any major price shifts occur.
All top-priced Wilds of Eldraine cards
The true chase cards from the Wilds of Eldraine set are Enchanting Tales anime confetti foil variants. WotC reprinted 63 MTG Enchantments on a bonus sheet for the Standard-legal set, with 20 of them featuring alternative anime art with a confetti foil treatment. Several main set cards also stand out, like Beseech the Mirror and Mooshaker Calvalry, impacting the Commander format while having potential in Standard as well.
Agatha’s Soul Cauldron
Agatha’s Soul Cauldron is a two-drop activated ability mana rock with upside that will impact the Commander format and have potential in other MTG formats. The legendary Artifact will mostly get used as a mana rock that can tap for mana of any color to activate the abilities of creatures you control. Agatha’s Soul Cauldron can also exile cards from any graveyard while pumping up the team and giving them additional abilities.
Since the Legendary Artifact’s release through WOE, Agatha’s Sould Cauldron has become the most valuable card in the set, playable in multiple MTG formats. The normal variant price for the Artifact went from around $17 to around $46 in just a month’s time.
- Extended foil: Around $78
- Prerelease foil: Around $60

Beseech the Mirror
Slated to impact multiple MTG formats from Standard to Commander is Beseech the Mirror, a Mono-Black four-drop Sorcery Mythic Rare. Able to cheat out a tutored card that costs four or less mana, which does include Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Beseech the Mirror was the top chase card for the WOE main set.
The Sorcery card didn’t lose value since it was released but did get pushed out of the number one spot by Agatha’s Soul Cauldron. Much like the Artifact, Beseech the Mirror is playable in multiple MTG formats that range from Standard and Pioneer to Commander and Vintage.

Moonshaker Calvalry
Slotting into Commander decks as a win-con finisher is Moonshaker Calvalry. The eight-drop Mono-White spirit knight pumps the whole team based on the number of creatures you control and gives them Flying for the turn when Moonshaker Calvalry enters the battlefield. And if the spirit knight’s ability doesn’t end games, Moonshaker Calvary is still a 6/6 with Flying.
