Planeshift MTG Cards Worth Money: Value Guide
Prices from cards tracked on RareWell — updated daily. Last updated August 3, 2026.
The Planeshift cards worth the most money are Orim's Chant, Meddling Mage, and Eladamri's Call, plus the set's famous trio of alternate-art foils — Skyship Weatherlight, Ertai the Corrupted, and Tahngarth, Talruum Hero.
Planeshift arrived in February 2001 as the second set of Invasion block, and it hides more value than its size suggests: two eternal-format rares, an Invitational card, a historic foil experiment, and a lower-rarity roster that Pauper players still buy today.

The money rares
Orim's Chant is the set's top card in most conditions — a one-mana lockpiece that sees Legacy and Commander play and has dodged meaningful reprints for decades. Meddling Mage is Chris Pikula's Magic Invitational card and a hate-bear icon; later printings absorbed most player demand, so the Planeshift original trades on first-edition and foil appeal. Eladamri's Call completes the trio, a clean two-mana creature tutor that Commander decks never stopped wanting.
Behind them, Lord of the Undead anchors zombie tribal decks, Questing Phelddagrif is a cult-favorite group-hug commander, and Draco — bearing the highest mana cost ever printed on a black-bordered card — stays collectible on novelty alone.
The alternate-art foils: a first for Magic
Planeshift ran an experiment no set had tried before: three cards — Skyship Weatherlight, Ertai the Corrupted, and Tahngarth, Talruum Hero — appeared in foil with completely different artwork from their nonfoil versions. These alternate-art foils exist only in foil, only in Planeshift, and are the set's signature collectibles.
The regular versions of all three are inexpensive, which trips up sellers constantly. If your copy is foil and the art does not match the common online image, you are holding the chase version. Condition matters doubly here because foils of this era curl and scuff easily.
Battlemages, familiars, and the Pauper layer
Planeshift's five kicker battlemages (Sunscape, Stormscape, Nightscape, Thunderscape, Thornscape) are iconic uncommons — cheap, but foils and playsets have an audience. The real lower-rarity money hides in Pauper and casual staples.
- Flametongue Kavu — the era's defining value creature; every red mage of 2001 remembers it
- Terminate — its original printing; endlessly reprinted since, but first-edition foils stand apart
- Cavern Harpy — a combo engine in Pauper familiar decks
- Nightscape Familiar and the familiar cycle — cost reducers with lasting Pauper demand
- Sleeping Potion-style commons stay bulk, but foil versions of any played common from this window deserve a check
What drives Planeshift prices now
Foil scarcity does the heavy lifting. Print runs of premium cards were modest in 2001 and survival rates were worse, so clean foils of even mid-tier rares can surprise you. Nonfoil value concentrates in the handful of eternal-format rares above, and everything else trades close to bulk — which makes Planeshift a fast set to appraise once you know the shortlist. The live price table below covers the current numbers.
