Modern Horizons 2 Cards Worth Money: A Collector's Guide
Prices from cards tracked on RareWell — updated daily. Last updated August 7, 2026.
Modern Horizons 2 cards worth money start with Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Urza's Saga, followed by the evoke elemental cycle, Esper Sentinel, and the enemy fetchland reprints. Card for card, it remains one of the most valuable modern-era sets to pull singles from.
The 2021 set was designed to inject new cards directly into Modern without passing through Standard, and it hit harder than almost any set before or since. Years later, its staples still define several formats — which is exactly why the prices have held.

The headline mythics
Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer became the face of the set almost immediately — a one-mana mythic that warped Modern and Legacy around it. The five evoke elementals were the other marquee cycle: Solitude, Endurance, and Subtlety remain format staples, while Grief and Fury were eventually banned in Modern, which cooled their competitive demand without erasing their eternal and Commander audiences.
Bans are worth watching with this set in general. MH2 pushed power hard enough that a few cards became targets, and a ban announcement moves these prices more than anything else does.
Urza's Saga and the land slot
Urza's Saga is arguably the set's most important design — a land that plays like an engine, seeing play from Modern through Legacy to competitive Commander. It's a rare, not a mythic, but it has spent most of its life priced like one.
The land slot is also where MH2 doubled as a reprint set. The five enemy fetchlands — Misty Rainforest, Scalding Tarn, Verdant Catacombs, Arid Mesa, and Marsh Flats — came back into supply here, and MH2 copies are typically the affordable entry point to fetches. Add Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth and the Cabal Coffers–Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth pairing, and the lands alone justify the set's reputation.
Commander money beyond the top tier
Esper Sentinel turned into the premier white card-draw piece in Commander and carries a price to match. Dauthi Voidwalker went from sleeper to staple. MH2 also quietly reshaped Modern's card pool by making cards like Counterspell Modern-legal for the first time — printings that matter more for playability than price, but that keep demand for the set broad.
This is the deepest tier of the set: not the poster cards, but a long list of singles that hold real value because Commander demand never rotates.
Variants, and why MH2 keeps its value
MH2 came loaded with premium treatments — retro-frame versions, sketch-art cards, and foils across the board. The premium versions of the big staples are where collector money concentrates, and the spread between a regular copy of Ragavan and its fanciest versions is wide.
The value holds for structural reasons: the set's staples live in non-rotating formats, the power level was high enough to define archetypes rather than visit them, and supply stopped growing once the print run ended. Reprints are the only real threat, and they arrive card by card, not all at once.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the most expensive card in Modern Horizons 2?
- Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Urza's Saga typically sit at the top, with the evoke elementals and Esper Sentinel close behind. Check the live table for today's order.
- Are the MH2 fetchlands the cheapest versions?
- They're usually among the most affordable modern-frame copies thanks to the set's large supply. Older printings, especially the originals, carry collector premiums.
- Why did Grief and Fury drop in price?
- Both were banned in Modern, which removed their biggest competitive market. Commander and Legacy demand keeps them relevant, but the ceiling came down.
- Is Modern Horizons 2 still worth buying sealed?
- For pure card value, singles are the safer route — sealed prices already reflect the set's reputation. Sealed makes sense as a collectible or for the draft experience.
