Murders at Karlov Manor is starting settle in the Standard metagame, and so are the price of the cards. In this list, we list down the top 10 MKM cards in terms of price, to see which of the cards have the most expensive card value in the set.
Top 10 Most Expensive Murders at Karlov Manor MTG Cards (As of February 11, 2024)
Following Lost Caverns of Ixalan, card prices of Murders at Karlov Manor are likewise not high compared to how prices used to be back in the day. We can attribute this to players saving their cash for the rarer versions of cards like extended borders, showcase, or foils, versions of cards that tend to be more expensive. The proliferation of rarer type of cards have pushed the average prices of regular bordered cards lower over the past few years, and Murders at Karlov Manor is a continuation of this trend. In my opinion, this is good for the Magic the Gathering ecosystem, making regular versions of cards more accessible to anyone who wants to play with them, while also having versions of cards for collectors and speculators. With that being said, here are the top 10 most expensive MKM MTG Cards based on MTG Goldfish prices.
(All Prices are based on MTG Goldfish prices)
10. Undercity Sewers ($6.49)
The first card in our list is a card that didn't appear in this list during prerelease weekend. This strictly better tap land has the highest synergy amongst all colors as surveil works best in blue and black, although expect all of the other surveil lands to hold significant value if ever these cards don't get reprinted to oblivion. A new staple land cycle, these cards are, no doubt.
9. Warleader's Call ($6.69)
Banners for red white are always a great thing, and dropping a Boros banner for just three mana gives a massive boost to your small creatures, almost enough to deal lethal as soon as this hits the board. Creatures with deathrattle that leads to ETB of tokens will also punish enemies trying to block your weenie creatures, making it necessary for them to consider this 3-mana enchantment as a serious threat. Even when you do get board wiped, your opponent will still taste some bitter damage from this card's passive effect.
8. Archdruid's Charm ($7.00)
The newest member of the mega-mega cycle of charms is very versatile, with removal, buffing, tutoring, and landfall rolled into one sweet 3-mana instant that fits in any mono-green deck. Definitely going to be a staple for many decks in the future as this answers a lot of problems with just 3-man and is flexible enough to answer multiple threats.
7. Rakdos, Patron of Chaos ($8.44)
A 4RB 6/6 creature with flying and trample – that sounds like Rakdos, alright. The lord of the Rakdos guild continues to outlive his contemporaries in Ravnica by straight up being a powerful card every time it gets printed, and his appearance in MKM isn't any different. Just casting him and getting him to live through your turn is devastating enough for your opponent, and he's a strong “win more” card if you're already leading.
6. Vein Ripper ($8.33)
Sometimes, the strongest cards are the ones with fewer words on their text boxes. We saw how Sheoldred, the Apocalypse dominated the Standard Format with a text box like this back in Dominaria United. Vein Ripper could just fill the same role in Murders of Karlov Manor and beyond. A Flying 6/5 with 3BBB might sound expensive, but having Ward – Sacrifice a creature that punishes the opponent right away with life loss makes this card hard to get rid of. This card is a must-counter. This is definitely going to be a bomb at the prerelease weekend and on draft nights, put this card in a deck with cards like Cabal Coffers or Cabal Stronghold, and you'll have a blast dishing this out during Friday Nights.
5. Cryptic Coat ($9.10)
4. Anzrag, the Quake-Mole ($13.98)
A fun new card that gets you 8 power just for 4 mana that punishes your opponent for blocking it. While this card can be easily removed with an Impale or Murder, it can easily end games early if you don't have a removal spell in hand. Will you block 8 damage or will you suffer a second combat phase? That's a hard decision to make and will definitely leave your opponent thinking while you twiddle your thumbs in anticipation. Getting this card out as early as turn 2 is possible in the right deck, and that'll definitely turn the heads on the play table when you successfully do that.
3. Massacre Girl, Known Killer ($15.24)
Getting a new Massacre Girl card in the latest Ravnica set wasn't in our bingo card, but getting Massacre Girl, Known Killer is definitely welcome. I imagine that she won't be as impactful and as ubiquitous as her earlier print was, but she'd be a menace to have on the battlefield either way. Wither makes a return in MKM, and Massacre Girl, Known Killer feels just like the right creature to embody that mechanic. This also rewards you for -X/-X cards like Dead Weight and Disfigure, which are cards that could see a resurgence if this card ends up becoming a staple.
2. Delney, Streetwise Lookout ($22.43)
It's easy to overlook Delney, Streetwise Lookout, especially if you're just using the card in the limited environment, but they're actually a great card to fit in Aracades, Huatli, and Doran decks. This is probably an integral piece to make Rasaad yn Bashir as Commander finally work, and you won't have a hard time finding white creatures with less than 3 power, so Delney, Streetwise Lookout could also be a Commander of its own for go-wide white weenies.
1. Leyline of the Guildpact ($34.00)
A new leyline card that you wish you could within your first hand, but also works well in green decks in general. Don't get fooled by nay-sayers: while using this with Leyline Binding sure sounds fun and efficient, it's not the peak of this card's synergies. A quick search on Reddit will get you a lot of ideas on how to use Leyline of the Guildpact in Modern, and we're sure that more broken interactions will find their way into the format as time goes on and people get to playtest this card. This card jumped from 5th place at $8.50 during prerelease weekend to first place at $34.00 just a week later, so we know that this card did hit the spot in many decks.
And that's it for our list of the top 10 most expensive Murders at Karlov Manor MTG cards in the secondary market at the time of the prerelease. What do you think of these cards and these prices?
