Thanks to its packed release schedule, we’re only ever a few weeks away from a new Magic set in 2026, but after back-to-back Universes Beyond trips to the Marvel universe and back to Middle-Earth (and ahead of Star Trek in November), Reality Fracture offers something different.
A sort of “What If?” for the Magic multiverse, it showcases legendary Planeswalker Jace Beleren’s perfected “Echoverse”. Here, he’s reshaped reality to his will, and that means famous spells, creatures, and more are getting a revamp.
With prerelease weekend over, here are the most valuable cards from the set so far. As ever, prerelease pricing will change drastically at launch and in the days following. We’ll update this page again soon with the latest price updates.
Rise of the Deathbringer – $200
Facet Foil is a new treatment for Reality Fracture, and it’s found on just about every card on this list that isn't in the Showcase treatment.
Rise of the Deathbringer kicks off our list as a five-cost instant that lets you draw cards in exchange for life, or reduce creatures by -3/-3. It’s currently going for around $200, but someone has already spent double that on it.
Craterclaw Colossus – $210
An echoverse of one of Magic’s most iconic mono-green cards, Craterclaw Colossus is a mono-red alternative to Craterhoof Behemoth.
As with its cousin, it’s a game-ender when played at the right time, offering haste and giving creatures you control trample, but it’s ramped up by the number of artifacts you have. This Facet Foil version is around $210 right now.
Codie, Ravenous Codex – $300
Remember Prepared spells from Secrets of Strixhaven earlier this year? Well, if you’ve been enjoying them regularly, then Codie, Ravenous Codex might be your next pick for a Commander.
Codie copies prepared spells, and for WUBRG, it can prepare all of your creatures. It’ll be fascinating to see the plays this leads to – it’s currently $300 for this Showcase Fracture Foil variant.
Simulacrum Shaper – $325
It’s Solemn Simulacrum for green, but Simulacrum Shaper could be just as valuable as its forebear. It nets you a basic land as it enters the battlefield and card draw when it dies, but also has typal synergy with Elf decks.
It’s currently $325 for the Facet Foil version, but the most recent sale is a whopping $499.99.
Kwia Vigorbloom – $354
In the Echoverse, Strixhaven’s Elder Dragons have been reworked into Hexhaven’s Elder Sphinxes, and Kwia Vigorbloom is likely to be a popular one.
It’s a 6/6 with the keyword soup of flying, vigilance, lifelink, and ward 2. When you gain life, it creates Lotus tokens that can be sacrificed for three mana of any color, meaning if you can get Kwia Vigorbloom out nice and early, you’ll be able to ramp consistently.
It’s currently going for around $350, but this showcase version has already sold for over $400.
Emrakul, the Exigent Doom – $354
Emrakul, the Exigent Doom may just have the best name on this list, but it’s a fitting Echoverse version of an Eldrazi favorite.
This version of Emrakul untaps all lands you control, putting a 12/12 on the board with flying, trample, and a ward cost of sacrificing three permanents. You can even exile it from your hand to help ramp in the early game.
It’s going for $400 right now if you want this Showcase version in Fracture Foil.
Return to the Light Realms – $420
Rise of the Dark Realms is a black staple in Magic, bringing all creatures from all graveyards under your control and (hopefully) ensuring a big win.
Return to the Light Realms is a little different. For one, it’s white, and for another, it’s all nonland permanents from your graveyard. Depending on how many artifacts, equipment, and enchantments you have in there, it might even be better than its predecessor.
This Facet Foil version will set you back $420 right now.
Curse-Marred Demon – $500
The Echoverse version of Rune-Scarred Demon drops from a 6/6 to a 4/4, switches from black to red, and lets you grab any card you want from your library before discarding a card at random.
In many ways, it’s not as good as its predecessor, but it does cost two mana less at least. It’s the first card on our list to hit $500.
Hexhaven Invigorator – $562
Oh boy, this is the one I’ve had my eye on for a while. Hexhaven Invigorator is a four-cost green Chimera Horror. As it is dealt damage, you can convert that damage into lands – and they don’t have to be basic lands, either.
Add to that the fact that it’s a 6/6 with vigilance, so you’ll be swinging for big damage each turn, and this is a great mono-green inclusion. The Facet Foil is going for $562, but one has already sold for $850.
Omnipresence – $1,000
So what’s the most expensive card from the Reality Fracture set? Why, it’s the Echoverse version of Omniscience, of course.
Whereas its blue cousin lets you cast spells without paying their mana costs, this green version lets you cast spells with mana value less than or equal to the number of creatures you control without paying those costs.
Get a bunch of cheap tokens on the battlefield and then cast with reckless abandon. The Facet Foil version of Omnipresence is a whopping $1,000 right now.
